With the posting of GBs Beautiful 40 Ford and the ensuing banter that followed, GB sugjested a contest...sort of, eh!

Here is a sneak-peek at my entry....in progress.....details will follow when it is painted and complete! :wave:


The pics are intentionally fuzzy......just to keep you guessing! :D

C'mon guys! get those dremels whirring, hey! :thumbsup:

Is there a dead line...hey how can you be here and in Chat at the same time???

Good start amigo! fuzzy pics .. I like that can I use it?


hhehehe


Coach!

Is there a dead line...hey how can you be here and in Chat at the same time???

Joe is a master of 'pute Voodoo Bob. I did however trick him into tipping his hand tonight and posting spy photos. I now know how high the bar is! :p

Cripes sake I'd better get building. ;)

D'oh! My Willy's is still tumbling around in the spin cycle. :rolleyes:

Beware the Gearbuster. Things have been awful quiet since he threw down on us!

Joe,

Wow what a blow.. :freak: A willys build off. That is a great contest Huh.. Looks like you beat me to it.I was contemplating the idea but you guys have answered it for me..LOL :thumbsup: Car looks sweet . Love the skirts. :dude:

Bill,

Laying done the blow with the 40.. That was a back burner car :cool:
Had to get some of the big daddy stuff first before I finished the sled.
Willys on spin cycle..HHmm Better get stompin because looks like Joez got a head start on us..LOL

Heres a ? for you guys. The contest.
1: Willys body. AW,Resin,Tjet,or anything thats a Willys.
No holds barded. Cut,chop,slam,melt, or whatever you can dream up. As long as it started a Willys :thumbsup:
2: Deadline. What do you guys think. 2 weeks? 3 weeks? Want to give everyone a chance and some time..
The prize:What do you mean prize..LOL I was thinkin for PINKS..
Just kiddin. "To Be Announced"
I will wait to see your input and I will start a new thread for the pics and contest rules. So what ya say. Want a build off. It will be
"THE HT WILLYS BUILDOFF" :thumbsup:

All good by me Steve! Sounds like Joe should be disqualified to me, as he redlighted by starting before an official green flag!

Me too I rekon, cuz after seein' Joe's massive head start and classic styling; I beat feet to slotland after chat and didnt comeout 'til 2:00 am. Didnt have a single idea in my head but finally managed to come up with a chassis set up and body that may work. :thumbsup

Ironically my Willy's body graciously came from Joez in a shipment of culls slated for the smelter. It were too nice to run through the chipper. So I set it aside for someday. Looks like someday is upon me now! :rolleyes:

Speaking of chippers, Coach is rumored to be up to sumthin', and we know that Bobzilla is gonna whip out that that gorgeous metallic copper Willy's he's been teasin' us with. ;)

C'mon everyone jump in and show us your Willys. :p LMAO

"speaking of chippers, Coach is rumored to be up to sumthin',"

Not me, perfectly innocent.....now if you will excuse me I have to go pour some sillycone....

Coach

Bill what copper Willy? lol Oooooh I am thinking Purple Willy's truck with some Godzilla chow in the back *snicker, snicker* Yeah that's all I'm doing.

Purple Hobby Talk people Willy's eater....One eyed, one horned....yeah baby!

Purple can be painted & this truck is going to see some serious changes for sure. Game on!!!!!!!

Willys rock and can't wait to see a bunch of them all done up. Been running these and need to do some work to the Pro Streeter still Bill.

Bob....zilla

What would a Willys contest be without me? LOL! I am in too.

If anyone needs any ideas here is my Willys website

http://hometown.aol.com/mastersoftoys/

and www.gassermadness.com (http://www.gassermadness.com) for more good stuff.

Some great lookers guys. Bob, where'd you hijack that backend from for the purple Willys pickup? :thumbsup: :thumbsup: rr

Sounds like a game plan to me. I will start a thread tommorrow for pics of the cars.
Bill, I agree. Joe red lite. Thats a DQ..LMAO Just kiddin.

All who wants to build can build.. Lets put a limit on the # of cars I think.
Put your best foot foward and post the best you have. 1 per builder I think would be fair..I will look for a fair judge of the cars when ended.. No one will know who.. Could it be..NNnaaaa.
Last week Chat of July I think will be fair. Thats roughly 3 weeks to build a wild off the wall WILLYS. :thumbsup:
Prize for the best.....could be built,wildest,or paint maybe... To be announced.. I have a surprise for a couple.
Will announce at a later date.. :cool:
So start buildin your Willys. and no you don't get extra points for being Mr Willys..LOL Be it mild,wild, or just plain old stock .. whatever you bring is fine..

So..." Lets Get It On".. :tongue: No let see. should I... Sorry no peekin..

Some great lookers guys. Bob, where'd you hijack that backend from for the purple Willys pickup? :thumbsup: :thumbsup: rr

roadrner,

Bruce Gavin (aka Bad Dog before and is now BnBgoodies) is the resinator man behind it. I have a red, black & white version in the wings also for future Willy's Truck-o-Rama dama ding dong customizing.

PM me if you need one of my spares roadrner since you asked first. I am an easy trader. Would just like some old school body that I could really bite my teeth into.

Have lots of BnBgoodies stuff waiting patiently in little clear baggies. Just saw a 33 Delivery from link above (mrwillysgasser) that has my name all over it (Custom ho scale bobhch decals now needed in white and gold for door decals). Gloss red for the chopped 33 version makes perfect sense to me. This thread is going to make me end up in the little Willy, Willy poor house. lol

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g282/bobhch/ascript1.jpg

Seriously is there anyone that would make me a custom Old School look "bobhch" (kinda like fancy script?) water slide decal. Trade or money just send me a PM. Would like to get a bunch???? How much????

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g282/bobhch/aww1.jpg

Bob...zilla

Bob... aren't those speed holes on your Willys? :thumbsup: nd

Bob... aren't those speed holes on your Willys? :thumbsup: nd

Yep and was all eye to drill bit free handed. If one hole was off this was going to become an instant smash stress remover pancake. Need to paint the front post behind the middle hole black to make it look better. Just not sure what is going to happen to this Willy's. Need to cut the front axle threads down smooth to front rims.

Thinking that the hood scoop needs to come off and have some thing put in its place. Why didn't I think of that before paint? Dough! This needs some thing more but not sure what. Wait wheelie bars in rear! No stripes, no flames or scallops, no numbers....what else can I do. Some sponsor water slide decals up front? A car name on door?

Anyone have a picture that can give me an idea???

Bob...zilla

Here's my entry. :tongue:

I won't win any prices, but I may git my butt moving and start chopping and painting

Needs a chop top, woman driver and......wait why am I telling you guys any of this?

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g282/bobhch/aboil8.jpg

Realy done alot on this so far (found interior for it) that's alot right?

Bob...zilla

Here's an update! ;)

Whoa Bill, you are moving at the speed of light on that one. Very, very subtle customizing - so skillfully done it's not immediately obvious at all LOL

I mis-spoke previously Jeff! I'm pretty certain THIS IS YOUR WILLY'S. I set it aside cuz it was too nice to melt down. Two weeks later GB threw down the gauntlet on the Willy's build-off. The gang really came through on my plea for scrap and I've recieved over 75 scrap bodies as of late, and I'm already losing track of who sent what. Fortunately Joez set me straight when we were gabbin' on Saturday. :rolleyes:

So What? Ya didnt like the previous translucent Willy's with the white background pic either? ...and Yes there is one subtle clue in the last photo.

Yeah the Willy's counter espionage vaseline photos are driving me nuts. Joe set the tone with his first batch of spy pics from the land of Fuzz. Contrary to the vintage Penthouse pics some good progress is being made! ;)

I'll be in the final body work stages tonight and ready to spray in a day or three. Dunno how long I can stand this. :freak:

Gauntlet... Naw Bill, I like to throw Axes..They are a little lighter..LOL
Looks like evryone is gettin a head start on me.. Better get a hakin.. :freak:

I like the idea of seeing what creations will come out of a car that is usually seen as a Gasser. So why not it be a contest of contests.. :thumbsup:
Im like a kid going to the candy store. Can't wait to get there.. :tongue:

I have been kickin around an idea for an extra added kick to the contest.. How does best overall Willys grab everyone??
And lift the limit and go all force of how many you want to enter.. :thumbsup:

:wave: This is my Willys entry.It is a resincast that was molded off of my own prototype.The prototype was made by morphing a HW '40 Ford Woody & A JL pink Willys. Notice I kept the original rear wheely bars & tailights & licence plate.Car is in a long wheelbase with 3R wheels on T-jet 500 chassis.It is painted in '50 's shell pink with resincast Aurora surf boards.

Neal :dude:

Ha! Neal, I knew some one or something will crawl out of the "woodwork" eventually.

The only thing missing is the beach, a bonfire, cold beers, and the yellow polka-dot bikini. Too cool man!

"We're waxin up our surfboards"...

Neal,

I recognize that HW woody...that is Far Out Man! What an idea. Now I realy gotta get to choppin'. Some Zzzzzz that is. Goodnight.

Hey can that body be purchased in resin??? If so PM me with the info please or just post it here? :confused:

Now I have my body picked out and the interior is found. I moved it around today once....busy man...busy, busy, busy.

Bob...zilla

In keepin with the Dragula theme that is my life..anyone thought of doing a Willy's hearse??Nice way to be sent to lay!!!!
DRAGula

DRAGula

Boss9 did a Lincoln Hearse that was based on my '41 Lincoln Woody so there is no reason why a Willys Woody cannot be converted the same way.


Neal :dude:

Well I got rollin' right after chat last week and cranked out a chassis to get the BS out of the way so I could start hackin'. I stayed with the gasser theme... somewhat. ;)

I managed to cram some tall tires on a rear drop axle, but left the fronts in the stock position for a more agressive stance. The wheels are AFX semi's that have been de-hubbed and narrowed. The fronts have the inside rim edge beveled for pickup clearance. The goal was to keep the meat under the skin. Slotech shoes and front o-rings were required to make the rear drop work with the stock front axle height.

The lid is mashed about as far as you can and still keep the double rear windows without to much fuss and maintain a workable door seam. The rear winders were corrected at this time cuz the factory made them look like goofy Mr Spock eyebrows (not level). :freak:

After things sat for a day I whipped out my knife and deleted the meatloaf pan hood scoop and the license plate bracket. While I was at it I punched it in the mouth and deleted the grill.

Some where in the way back, Dragula did an orange Willy's that tripped my trigger. Both the inside and outside of this body were glazed in AFX orange. Trying to do body work on a translucent shell was aggrevating so I elected to get some color down early to show me the way.

Been working on pipes latley for the Deuces. The pictured set was a vetoed Deuce experiment but sorta fit the Willy's for mock up purposes. They were reconstructed tonight to gain some track clearance and are still touch and go. It's gonna be close. They're made from the usual Plastruct macaroni stuff. :thumbsup:

Hood scoop is a Lola T-330 and hasnt been cleaned of it's gahstly mold lines yet. Gonna cut & fit some windows tomorrow, try to make the pipes work and plot some strategy on a handful of other little mods. I still got a coupla weeks! :tongue:

Bob, how do we say that...?.....oh, I remember. "Bill wins!" (I just tossed my willys bod into the E-box. I think I used up my brain cell on the C-cab.) How the heck can a guy compete with that, yeah?! :D
Another Bill-rod coming along nicely. :thumbsup:

Bill,

Ok this is a Willys build off. Not a chop/how low can you go contest. :thumbsup: Thats a cool willys there Bill,

Joe,
You can compete with that. I will distract him and you drop the Hammer :devil: :D Just kiddin.. Bill

I was wondering who had my hammer...Thought maybe I tossed it at a deadhorse...LOl.. Ya comone Joe So Bill will be the goo out of us..We do have to keep him honest.. and ya never Know Boss may enter and you know he is going to get votes so maybe we can win on the sympathy split votes.


Dave been a molding and grinding..

Since we're all "tipping our hands" a little bit (spy photos and whatnot), I feel I can't sand-bag you guys anymore. Here's how my Willys is progressing. I'm gonna try some Milliput for some of the bodywork (first time using it). I still have a few minor details to hash out, but it's really coming along eh?. Do you think the fenders and running boards are too much?? I don't want it to look too cluttered. I kinda like them. I've got a feeling that this is gonna be one mean machine !! nuther D. ;)

Just read all these post...RALMAO This is so much fun to see all of us joking and jabbing each other.

A Willys hearse would be super sick (that is a good thing) DRAGula!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah that is cool to build a Willys from the frame up. I would just enter it like that Dave. :)

Have a new twist on Bills goooooo. Gonna try using Nueclear waste for the Hy-Pro-Glow look.

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g282/bobhch/awill6.jpg

Bob...zilla

Game on!!

Nuther Dave, I love the concept. Driver goes into the spin cycle when you give it the gas? If he had a beanie you'd either lift or downforce.

It's almost there. Just gotta fill in a couple details. thanks for looking. nd

ND,
Much like Jeff, I think a dramamine injection system for the driver maybe in order.

The contest rules didnt specify which Willy's exactly. My guess here is an "Overland".

did it really specify how much of a Willys either! Sometimes it's not about what you add... it's all about what you take away. ;) nd

BTW: You think Joe could cast this one? Just in case anybody wants a re-pop.

Here's my entry. :tongue:

What are you going to name it?

Scott...

Just has to be based on a willys..LOL
That will do just fine.. :thumbsup:
I like the humor this contest brang out. Really good to see all havin fun with the hobby.
Will update post on Saturday. Be watchin. This is gone to be great.. :cool:

Boy, that Bill is hell with a file and the devil with a dremel, yeah?! (someday, I will get a chop to look that good!)

Bobs truck is spreading nuke-waste and it got all over 'Nutherdaves ride and melted it away! (If I were you, ND, I would sue! LOL) Atleast the driver looks ok, eh?!

Really, ND. I think you have the whole hotrod concept backwards. You have been watching those historical B'ville salt races inside out again, haven't you! The Body stays ON and the fenders come OFF! Say it with me now. Body-ON, Fenders-OFF! Now theres a good chap! :D

Looking good, guys! :thumbsup:

Joe,

Body On, Fenders Off....ha,ha,ha....This is fun!

Scott...

LOL Scott, At the time of that post I was actually thinkin' "Got Milk".

Check out the more recent pic on page 2,#27. The white was makin me bug eyed, so "Pumpkin Jack" was born. Sounded like a gasser name at the time.
At least now I can see what I'm doin'. :freak:

Seems everyone else is giving little willys insights. Thought I would do the same instead of hanging it all out at once.
Here is what I got so far. Measured the top for the infamous gunslit winders, tunneled the hood for a big blower, :thumbsup: trimmed the fenderwells for more clearence. This is going to be a wild willys so to speak.
So I headed over to the custom shop to snap some pics of it today.
When I got there I turned the corner at the shop and.....
Well you be the judge. I think it was a conspiracy to the willys contest.
The reason I am thinking toward that is as I was turning the corner a Blue VW Bug was seen leaving the scene of the crime behind a box van. The sight of the willys was enough to make you say#@*&^(%. so to speak. :freak:
Do anybody have the number to the Willys restoration store? :confused:
Any information on this crime call 1-800-willy- wonka

An old Willys from my fleet. The naked mole rat (for Bob). nd

Somebody is in for a world of hurt when GB gets through with them, hey! Keep a tyre-iron handy, GB! You never know when you will see that bug come squealing around a corner! Get'm once for me too! I LIKED that willys! (have you made a report to your local track-side police yet?) You aren't trying to beg out of your own contest, now, are you, GB?! :D




'NutherDave, I remember that gritty Willys! Man-o-man, I can almost hear it rumble!
Timeless classic style, mate! :thumbsup:

Cap'n Willy's Wind Wagon ! ! .... no? nd ;)

Prove it! Unless you got a positive ID, ya got bubkus! BTW anybody wanna buy some luke warm Willy's parts cheap? :tongue:

Looks great Steve. Cant wait to see the chop! :thumbsup:

Peaking from behind the little trawlers stern is ND's entry! No wait! It's just another bag of sand in a wall of smoke and mirrors.

Hey nd,

That's the after car to the one in your Galery pic. I wanna race it man. *grabs for the controler but, can't quite reach.....ooooh* that is nice!
