Other clubs / Re: East Coast Willys Association Club

« on: April 01, 2016, 09:51:30 PM »

The East Coast Willys Association is exploring a formal organization of a New England based Willys club. The club would be open to all Willys and Jeep Vehicles before 1985. The club would be a family friendly group that would meet for trail rides, ice cream runs, tech days, wrench fests, and any other activities the members wanted to organize. There could be a small membership fee, that might include varied levels where you get a sticker, hat or tshirt. Maybe a newsletter a few times a year, a discount at some national and local retailers. Access to a club only section on the forum.  We are just exploring the interest and thoughts for such a club based here in new England.

There will be a meeting and tech day scheduled tentatively on  April 23 in Billerica Ma.  We will have a meeting to discuss the formation of the club,  have some lunch and anyone that wants to work on my 2A project is welcome to stay and help.

Any chance we can see a video to hear it run?� I've never liked the sound of v6's with exhaust but it may be better in a Willys�

I love the color too, would you share the paint code? I'd like to put that on my short list

Paint is from 2012-15 Jeep Wranglers...color is called Anvil

Nice work... Short wheelbase and big tires, how does it handle?
 What is "Flaming River Steering"?

Tires are only 33's,  handles like a dream.
Flaming river makes the steering. Column, And steering joints.

Howdy! Maybe I'll get to see this rig during the trail run!

I've been meaning to ask, why the different colors on the body?

So the story as i was told by the guy that started building it 15 years ago for his friend. �The builder was SVE performance in CT, � all they had was the engine, frame and the replacement tub, but the owner wanted to see it painted, so SVE started painting all loose parts, hood, fenders, grill tailgate,glove box  door, then they got sidetracked and other things caused it to sit for a year, and apparently the tub was showing surface rust and he got nervous, so the owner, not SVE, sanded the rust, primed it and slapped on the only paint he had around, the green, �to keep the rust at bay. �

The guy ended up never going forward with it and it sat and was sold a few times, till i got it and finished it. �Its too bad about the paint, because i like the tan, �and you can tell it was a nice job when it was done, but its beat now, and the green looks like it was put on with a brush.

Now this is what I'm talking about!! [smiley=thumbsup.gif] �The guy joins up and we don't even have to ask for a photo!!

That's a nice looking rig. �Very impressive. �Doesn't look like much would stop you. �Not even highway speeds

Tell us a little bit about your mods.
