Paul's 1944 Hot Rod Willys MB "FINALLY"

[Paul Wadas]

Owned since 1979. Pictures here are from 1989. I currently have the 350 Chevy small block on the rebulid stand waiting for a .030 overbore. Most fabrication and modifications were done by me over the years. Has tilt steering column, Chevy master cylinder, 3:73 gears, frame is from a 2wd dispatcher Jeep which is much stronger than the MB frame. Has dual shocks up front, singles in rear. 33" BF Goodrich tires, racing buckets that mount to the cage, fuel cell, B+M shifter, 350 turbo trans with shift kit, along with many other features. Radio and heater delete.

frame and kick myself for not replacing the frame in my 44

Yes I did do the frame swap. All the measurements are the same as far as length, width, spring mounts, etc. I did box the frame, remove the rear shock mounts, add them to the front to match, then fab new rear mounts. I also welded new motor mounts along with a 2x3 tube front cross member. -Paul-
