ERIC CLAPTON - 1941 WILLYS COUPE

While visiting the in-laws in Ohio, Eric took in a Goodguys Show. One particular car that caught his eye was a 41 Willys. Wanting to have one, he wondered should it be wild or mild. Roy showed him a couple of Willys the Brizio team had built. The decision was made, leaning more towards a stock looking ride. To begin, a Morrison chassis was ordered with just the front and rear cross members. Dan Hall, one of the team members, took over from there and finished the frame with motor mounts, trans mount and center supports. An LS motor with a Tremec 5 speed will power the Willys. As you can see from what the body was like to start with, major sheet metal work transformed it to like new. Keep your eye on this one as the project moves on.
