For starts,I KNOW Willy's coupe bodies come up on EBAY once every often,but I cannot seem to get my hands on one that is an actual 1940.Most I am seeing are 1941 Willy's,like a Du-Bro Willy's P/N #24-34 (The 1940 Willy's has a split,two piece grille ,41's had the longer,one piece.)I really do not want to put a hard body on this chassis. I would like to get a Butyrate or a lexan plastic body if possible?
I am wanting a 1940 but might have to settle for a 1941 if that is all that is available?? I need to finish a chassis project I started years ago. This is a tribute to my long past friend Melvin's 1940 Willy's coupe.(Cancer sucks A__!!! ) I used to help out with this car a tiny bit back in the 90's when I finally convinced him to stick another engine in it and make a few runs. It was one of my FAVORITE drag cars of all time !(427 CI BBChev 6-71 Littlefield blower Pretty much early 70's period correct. )
If I cannot locate a 1940 body,does anyone know of a RED 1941 Du-Bro body I could get my hands on???
