trying again.... Sure hope the build doesn't go like this!

Hi folks! Just bought my first car project, a '41 Willys Coupe. Don't have any experience with car building, so it should be an interesting experience. But I have time now and lots of patience.....

Looks like I will have a fair amount of fit and finish to work on, but the basics are there - an S10 chassis, cut in the rear for a 4 link Ford rear end, radiator, brakes all discs in (no juice), dash w/gages (no wiring), steering in (unk) and a newer Chevy 5.3L with tranny in incl the ECU and wiring harness. You can see where the seller cut the hood instead of keeping it stock - will be looking for ideas on how best to put it back to the normal hood....

Will appreciate any help to my newbie questions as I try to get this finished!

Mike
