Shodog's '41 Willy's Pro Mod Dragster

Post by shodog »

Here is a custom built dragster based on a Parma '41 Willy's body. I can take any credit for the construction just the deep pockets it took to buy it. I purchased it off of eBay last year some time and it just sat in the box since. It was partially disassembled for shipment so I had to build it back up to take pics of it.

The main tube chassis is constructed of brazed steel tubing then it was chrome plated. The wing is aluminum and all the mounts and wheelie bar are made of bent and brazed piano wire. The wheels appear up be plastic. On a car of this caliber of a build it would sure be nice to hang a set of Aluminum wheels on it.

Awesome looking car.

Just throwing this out there. Is the wheelie bar mounted correctly? Looks like its upside down.

Someone took the time to build that just right! Looks awesome! You could take it to the next level by adding an interior to it. :wink:

I really like the wheels that are currently on it.


Yep, I think the wheelie bar is upside down as well. The C brace is facing down.

that thing is awesome. I'm liking the looks of the wheels but agree that it would look pretty awesome with some polished alloy wheels on it...just because.
