My new toy, a '41 Willys Slat Grill

[G506]

Ok, this is my first time trying to upload pics, so it probably wont work!

Anyway, my new project, a 41 Willys MB Slat Grill. Just collected it last week from Belgium

Looks like a good project, hope to see more pics!

[G506]

Hello Rick,

yes loads more pics to upload, the first one didn't mess up, I'm on a roll!

[N.O.S.]

I'm looking forward to seeing some pics of the front half.

 

 

 

What do you mean, "That's all there is" ?

[G506]

Oh, and a few people I need to say thank you to for their help so far;

Dan Major, Barry (RMS on this forum), Jeff Hain Matson, Paul C, Jaap Rietveld, Cliff Harris

and not forgetting Mrs G506 for letting me have more rusty clutter..................

Thanks private, will do. Its going to be a while before the tear down starts, because I need to get the Chevy restoration finished (only 4 years so far!)

[RMS]

4 years? you sure?

[G506]

Well done you!

I couldnt drive it home Jack, the wind would have messed my hair up

 

:nut:

[G506]

4 years? you sure?

 

Yup, October 2006 I bought my last rusty heap. You would think I would have learnt my lesson by now...............

A couple more shots, the lower one showing the 'Willys' script on the rear panel

Any chance of some original numbers under the paint??

Hi Mike,

I believe the wheels are M38 but I'm not sure, The previous owner put new wheel rims and tyres on her not long after purchasing it, I think because the original tyres were totally ruined.

I will be looking for the correct one piece rims, but the tyres should do ok!

[RMS]

cor that trailer looks even better from that side!

[G506]

She was discovered earlier this year, and apparently was literally hours away from being scrapped! Thankfully she was rescued by the chap I bought her from, and since Thursday of last week has been safely indoors for the first time in years.
