well this is my first atempt at kustom work so be easy guys lol, this body started life off as the 2 in 1 amt willys gasser kit. so i built a gasser truck and saved the coupe body. i was looking at randfinks 36 ford and i thought why cant i do that with this extra willys body. i had a junk 40 ford to get the front clip and rear fenders. i had to move the roof back so it would line up with the front clip. it will probably get a flattie but im not sure yet. well here are the pics hope you guys like it here is what it looked like with just the front clip it didnt flow so i put the 40 ford rear fenders and running boards

That ought to have a cool profile. Thought for a sec, as I read your description, that I was gonna see a Willys gasser with a flathead.
