a guy with a wrecking yard, and a lot of skill with customizing, went all out on making a better looking Willys by adding some Mercury

built as a fill in project from several cars at his local auto wreckers. 

For the complete driveline, chassis and suspension they used a 1940 Willys. It was because of this base that it maintained its Willys ownership and licensing tag as well as the W insignias on the hubcaps, header etc. 

The most important body item was the cowl, dash, firewall, a-pilliars and the windshield and all trim items for this major portion of the project taken from a 1940 Mercury 4 door convertible. This donor Merc also supplied the hood and doors. 

The sides of the hood were trimmed and the doors were cut and mounted in a suicide enter position.

The front fenders and the header panel where donated from a 1940 Hudson. The rear 1/4's behind the doors and the rear fenders back too and including the taillamps were from a 1951 Chevrolet 2 door.
