I would love to start on a 41 Willy's project with a blown 426 HEMI Someday. I see kits out here using shortened Chevy S10 chassis. Any one use a shortened Dakota Chassis mated to a Willy's body?

i agree, do not use an s-10 frame, i have built both an outlaw and a dennis taylor willys, who did work for outlaw at onetime, he is no longer in biz as far as i know, i think clayton in north carolina has his molds, the outlaw chassis is the way to go, best out there in my opinion, and trust me neither ones are "kits", there is alot of fabrication and engineering that goes into these cars, espessialy with a hemi, stay away from the "beast" from fla, don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

I agree with all of the above. What got me thinking about it was a guy not too far away had a Willy's project on a custom box tube frame advertised "trade for a musclecar". I offered a trade for my Charger project but he wanted a turn key driver. Now I was just looking for a alternative way of obtaining a Willys on a lower budget.

HA! "Willys" and "budget" in the same sentence? "Hemi" and "budget" in the same paragraph?
If you do it right yer lookin at $40K finished. But don't worry, someone will offer you $25K for it!'

its more like atleast 60k in body,chassis,blown motor,trans,paint, interior and all the other goodies to finish it right, if done right they are still commanding big dollars in the 60-100k range.

I can see that, my Corvette restorer buddy says a decent paint job STARTS at $10K.

I have 85 in this one, but am going to put it for sale for 55 in a few days. Just the blown 392 costs 25.

just curious at why you would start out at 55k? looks like a nice car and should bring more than that, who's body and chassis is that? i know its pretty tough to sell high dollar cars right now but they are selling, just taking alittle longer. check out what has sold on cars online.
