Thread: 41 Willys Gasser project

Tweet

Yeah, I like No 1 best and the difference in font is not a problem at all, to my eye. The "Willys" is traditional block, and having the "Supercharged" in a mild script slant just adds to the highlight. I think it would look worse if it matched the block letters above, but that's just me.

I like location on the top of hood next to the blower scoop.

How about a slight variation of the # 1 choice? Above the trim centered over the Willys...

Differently under the Willys badge is my vote Steve. The little corner pieces you made up for at the bottom corner of the bonnet, hood for our American friends, is that part of the pillar or guard or separate altogether and what did the original Willys have?????

I think my vote is on number one as well!
Great job on a cool build! Thank you for sharing it with us.
Is she a driver yet?

I think that's where it's gonna end up Roger

I kinda like it there too but I have a "powered by" lettering going there

#7 but lower and a little farther back

Hey Steve, you could always ask KiwiKev that Willys nutter on that other site to take some close up photos of that area for both of us to learn from, oh he is having surgery on his wrist soon so maybe a while before we get an answer but an idea. He is really a nice guy by the way him being a Nude Zeelunda.

Mostly very windy & showers here today so a workshop job had to be found, Been looking at the fairlane grille and thinking it needed a surround, I found some 1/4" annealed stainless thick walled tube that would bend easily so made up a surround, Its held in place by 4mm screws from the back which screw into tapped holes in the back of the surround.

This is how it looked








With the surround










Willys are well known to have cooling issues due to the rad being high, I made up an air deflector to make sure all the air went through the radiator.

Amazing how that has improved the look of the grille Steve,very nice and heck, I hope there is a excellent discount when you buy stainless steel as you must be their best customer?
