41 Willys pickup street rod build
I had a few threads in here about choosing paint color and such. Now its off to the body shop.
Ive had the truck a few years now. It was sitting outside wasting away when I found it, a lot of corners were cut in the original build. It really wasn't running correctly either. I had been looking for a Willys for awhile and fell in love when I found this truck. Since then I've installed a new flywheel, ignition system, and also installed fuel injection. These few things got it running correctly, along with a few other odds and ends.
So it was onto paint then. It took me forever to choose a color. I love orange's so I decide to go with a sunset orange pearl color. I like the red that the truck was originally but this will make it pop just a little more. Overall I started out with a pretty good body.
So here is what I started with.
The headlights were a bit of a mess (being held in with cut out funnels), and a Buick grille. Those now have been replaced with proper headlights and grille.
As of today here she is
There shall be more to come. I am just happy the issues with the body are now fixed.
The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
