My willys

[sixty-nine]

Not off-roading but I’ll share what I’ve been up to in my free time. Bought this 41 Willys Pro Mod for my father back in Dec. he wanted to race one last time before he passes...... so why not give him a car that is capable of going faster then 200mph in the 1/4 mile. The car has ran 3.79 @ 201 in the 1/8 with the old combo. It won’t go nearly that fast with my 706 but it will still go over 200 in the 1/4

When i finally got it into my shop and the tear down began

Seeing as it was a blower car and I’m changing it to a nitrous car, i needed to figure out where the radiator goes. This is an early pic of where I originally was going to place it but decided to scrap that idea

Why do you need that big of a rad? You are going to tow to the starting line and tow it back after the pass right?

... that looks like a bad bitch...

if you aren't on YellowBullet ... that is the drag racing forum to be on. Those ****ers know their ****.

Why switch from forced induction to nitrous?

I’m not running alcohol so it will heat up quick. Also, the radiator is quite small. Just looks big in the pics

Been on there since 08

I didn’t want to spend another $60k for his combo when I already have 2 - 706’s just waiting to be used

So in order to drill out the dzus holes correctly, I made a tool for the job

What class do you plan on running in? Are you going to have it out this year?

Looking at the 10.5 tire deal and maybe ProMod. I should have it out by late August for some test hits, then Vegas in November

I made the tool to do perfect holes in the carbon fiber. Pretty much most of the panels in the car are carbon fiber with an exception of the wheel tubs, dash and drivers side floor. I wanted to get rid of most of the aluminum panels that were in there

Tim McAmis doesn’t make the best carbon panels out there. Never again will I do a carbon/glass mix. Now I will have to paint the backside black to cover up all the pin holes

Cool! We raced 10.5 for years. It's a fun class. How many kits on that 706 do you have?

2 but can run 4

Too many holes in this cowl. So I welded them up

Since the car was originally a hemi, I had to change the front and mid plates

Used my old motor plate to get an idea and take measurements

What car did you used to run?

What car did you have that 706 in? Did you do any headsup racing around Washington with it?

I bought 2 706’s for my 69 nova but it’s still a long ways away from being finished. So I bought the 41 willys because it had a large winning streak and a roller. However, being a blower car, there’s nothing to it and a nitrous car needs a ton of stuff.

The car is almost finished, it just takes forever to upload the pictures on this site since I use an image hoster. I’ll get around to uploading more pics
