Hello,

From the early history in 1963-64, K.S. Pittman began his lightweight Willys Coupe portion of the drag racing career. Some of the big names had yet to move to the 33 Willys Coupe body styles. So, this was a first at the time during the 1963 early 1964 time period.

In early drags, there were a couple of 33 Willys coupes, one in So Cal at the Santa Ana Drags and the other in 1958-59 in Ohio. We all know the history of that 33 Willys Coupe in the A/Gas classes. Both class record holders at one time or another.

But, as everything move into the future, as Gas Coupes moved to the next level of competition, too. The individual racers with their street driven hot rods no longer were competitive and the classe began to move to the full race build. So, specific modifications were beginning to show up and get passed on by the tech committees.
The last K.S. Pittman race car...

The 1941 Willys Red Coupe weighed approximately 2400 lbs. The 33 Willys Coupe weighed 2200 lbs on the average. With lightweight fiberglass parts, the weight savings was tremendous with the given power, now a 671 Hemi motor. Now, with the chopped top and more weight savings in the build, what is left? The whole body/fenders as a one piece fiberglass concoction?

A mean attitude and approach always gives a chill to opponents and the spectators… yikes!

 

Good to all !

 

Some times, its fun to just use an old junk piece of white butcher paper to draw on. As you can see, this was a piece of paper I had used to draw the outline of an old license plate, and you can see the holes punched in it.

 

Work in progress for our Wisconsin Hot Rod Hundred awards drawn by Alan Childers. The hole in the artwork in the middle is where I need to mount the cross still…

 

Happy FAS guys & gals.
Some more stuff from the days before I needed "elastic waistbands".

HOT ROD!

 

I'm digging on that wax job you got there.

Nothing says truckin' like a 'big' block.

Old door from the vintage car club for 10 bucks as a canvas and a bit of garden art, eyes light up with little solar lights at night.

 

I haven't posted in a while, was meaning to this morning but forget, so here is my late contribution.

These are all sketches I've done at recent cruise nights.
