Wowee! That's a nice one. I don't think that I've ever seen a Willys sedan as a gasser. It's interesting to see a super build like this that is of a slightly different subject.

Nice change of pace! Color and gold lettering look excellent. Now you need the Hurst Gasser Passer to be with it. Paul

I remember seeing Willys sedans at the drags, they seem to hook up a bit differently than the coupes and pick ups do. The longer wheelbase has a great effect on the handling I guess. I remember reading an article somewhere about the Willys sedans that said all the sedan bodies started out as four door bodies that they leaded the rear doors shut!
Mike, I really like this one too, it's different enough that it just stands out on it's own. Then you consider the paint, cool color, lettering, tasty engine, wheels and window treatment, it screams winner! Like I said above, I remember seeing Willys sedans run at the drags so yours brings back a flood of cool memories. Thanks for sharing!

This is killer! I know there’s been several sedan bodies offered in the aftermarket but they’re seldom seen. I can’t imagine a nicer build up of one. Awesome color choice and I love the blue windows.
Does the body come with an extended interior of sorts?

Skip, I checked and they did in fact lead in the rear doors to create 2 door sedans. Willys-Overland was running on a tight budget and often used what they had. Gary

Great color, and nice to see an alternative body style.
I got a sedan body from R+R Vacuum Craft ages ago. Really wanted to use it, but the proportions were waaay off. Perhaps my skill levels have progressed enough that I could tackle it now. I should dig it out and take another look. Thanks for the inspiration.
