Is That A Willys Wagon?? 1956 Willys Project

[jbrewington]

I absolutely love the custom shifter knobs. On the hood wing ornament, did you use the Willys medallion that is offered here?

Just curious since there is a size difference on the ornaments as far as the medallions used.

Yes sir on medallion. Ordered from same site, for 1956 model(mine)

Love the knobs jb! Whats the red button? Line brake, Nitrous Oxide perhaps?

Yes, red button will be wired to a brake solenoid(line lock) in the intrest to hold vehivle on a slope as clutch transitions. :-)

Can't you tell - it's the firing teat for the 25mm cannon he has hidden in there. He didn't show us the GUNS - ROCKETS - BOMBS ordinance selector knob.

maybe??????

In regards to LarrBeard's comment towards the 25mm cannon switch;

Just a little bit of worthless knowledge I can share. Military weapons systems are evolving with the times. We are going away from the aircraft style of joystick controllers with the gun selector and trigger, and are now using an Xbox video game controller to aid in the familiarity for the younger soldiers.

I like the line lock trigger button, and the location you have it. Well thought out in my opinion.

That is going to be a nice ride with all that insulation and padding inside.
