heck-yeah, I like it! Those wheels are great!
But what I really want is a willys bod that is not screwed-up at the rear wheelwells. (skirts on contest car hide that) :thumbsup:

I love rat rods Chris! They are a return to a simpler time. I'm pretty tired of 1:1 off the rack billet rods.

How about,
A proper lookin blower scoop ala Dragula
Wider pullbacks or steelies with fatty white walls to fill up the fat fenders.
Ditch the pushbar and license plate. They spoil the sweet trunk and apron line.
A grill insert that could be chromed or deleted.
Tinted glass in normal colors - like green, a normal lookin blue and dark smoke.
A new full flame pattern with better spacing that includes the vertical hood side and then dragged down the side/door with a wisp or spark on the rear fender.

Perhaps an accessory kit for a base Willy's that included your nifty head light castings, grill insert, fender well headers, updated blower scoop, maybe even throw in the push bar for the purists. We all like goodies and the versatility to mix and match! :thumbsup:

Just dreamin' Chris... :wave:

Drag,

I love it.. When you add white walls to a black car it just gives it a "Hey look at me affect". :thumbsup: But then Red rims says POW....
That is so cool lookin the only change I would make is Scallops instead of Flames.. Primer black and a great misty white, or a super red Flake scallop
would make you turn on the Rock-a-billy tunes. :dude:
Great looker there Chris :cool:

I like it Chris...alot!

Was this inspired by your Rat Rod 55 or did the Willys inspire you to build your recent 55 Rat Rod?

Which came first the Chicken or the egg? Like both of your recent Rat Rods and they inspired me...I got a 55 that is begging for a custom Rat Rod build. 55 says, "Bob...zilla Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease" lol

Bob...zilla
