Very interesting. I'd like to know more about it. John Meredith would be all over the abundant use of copper tubing. The pitman arm looks a bit light to me but I live in the dirt. All in all a neat looking car.

I found THIS on the HAMB. It seems to have gotten the Latham supercharger from the 235 in the '56 four door.

Yes and thank you Beater for the info...The fact that a 1937 Willys chassis went 125 mph is impressive. Never heard of a
Hickey cylinder head...

I had not heard of it either.
Hickey Head
ANOTHER

I bought quite a bit of stuff for my '70 Blazer from Vic Hickey but had no idea about this.
