New Conv. J-body member in NC here
Monday, July 13, 2009 9:32 PM



Here is play toy its a 1996 Cavalier with a few odd and ends done to it. I am really enjoying it and still have a long way to go to make it the ride I have pictured in my head. I am not lucking to build a trailer queen but a fun sunday cruiser and small show play toy for me and my kids to enjoy. I am here to shop and meet other people with the same intrest and maybe find out about in local shows.

I wondered if you would join up here. You're the third .org member to own the car. Josh has been working on the Willys you traded him for it.

Here's a few more pics Josh had of it from the few months he had the car lol.





and some pics from when the other Josh "Topsub" had it. He was the one who did majority of the work on the car, and the one you can thank for all the stuff that needs fixing on it lol.

Yeah I hope Josh likes the Willys it was a fun little toy while I had it (about 6 months). I did 90% of the work to it. It just got old not being able to take the whole family out in my play toy (Willys). The Cavalier is not that bad off just some more body work and a lot rewiring then on to the top and interior. So maybe a few months from now it will be good to go. I would bet, I have allready pulled out a couple hundred feet of unneeded wiring and bad splicing. Allso as I brung it home the dash FELL OFF so that was a big surprise which made me begin to look things over in a hurry.

Here is the Willys for all to see, I also have another rat rod that is a 51 ford.

You should have seen the Cavalier when Josh first bought it. We had to put a subframe underneath it, and some wheels on it just to get it on the trailer. The interior was a mess. Josh put most of the interior in it out of a parts car he had. The body kit was cracked bad from the bags laying it on the ground. We had a lot of work in it.

The Willys has already seen a lot of change since you guys traded lol.
