a red willy sitting in someone's driveway look at this thing it's a beaut 1941 was a big year for
the willis company it was the year the now famous 4x4 willis was chosen by the war department as its
light utility vehicle of choice but the willis is an iconic car rooted deep in american history
so john is there any other parts to it or anything i mean if you look in here there's a radiator in
here and some blankets but other than that it's just a basic rolling chassis you'll throw in the
blankets they're going to have the blankets there's even a water bottle in there you can
have if you want so what do you want for this um i was thinking i could probably let it go for
like 42 comfortably i might have overheard a different number he's making numbers up

time we'll get you a limo to go to lunch please do make ryan drive i'm not driving him you know
when ryan purchased that 1941 willys fiberglass shell man it left me scratching my head but after
chatting with him and hearing about his vision on it got a little bit inspired so ryan and mike they
got down to business cutting this car in two and once the bodies were mounted and framed up and all
the bodywork was done they went crazy on the paint the mission here was to honor our vets with two
beautiful unique pieces of artwork now right now mona from the wounded warriors project she's here
to check him out and we're going to present her with these two gorgeous pops of cars i'm danny hi
danny very very very nice to meet you wonderful to meet you this is ryan hey ryan it's wonderful to
meet you you didn't introduce me you don't count oh my gosh mike that wasn't by accident either man
now we're honored to be included in this this is something that we truly believe in
i myself understand what you do but i don't really think i know to what magnitude at wounded warrior
project we provide over 20 programs and services to injured service members and their family
these programs help engage warriors they help nurture their minds and their bodies and they
also help to encourage economic empowerment we are looking to help adjust them back to civilian life
that's awesome i really want to show this off to you now i want you to see this i'm excited
i really think you're going to dig in are you ready to see this you're ready to see this all
right i think it's time for mike mike do you know how to drive man stop peeking through the windows
there you go are you ready very excited all right here you go bam oh my gosh wow that's amazing
they are cool are they not transforming this willy's replica into art worthy of wounded
warriors was a challenge i knew my guys were up for inspired by the fighter planes of world war
ii mike airbrush snarling tiger's teeth much like the style that appeared on the bomber planes of
that era his rendition of the old red white and blue looks like she's flying at mach 10
all while honoring every department of the military meanwhile ryan's creation has you
wanting to stand up and salute blanketed and metal flaked american flag with a screaming eagle with
detailed images jump right out at you but it's the gold leafing and pinstriping from bumper
defender that makes you proud to be an american so we all of us collectively here at counts customs
and ryan and mike really specifically put a ton of work into this we want you
guys to take them and do whatever you feel is proper to get the most out of it that you can
and help some folks out thank you guys so much just oh my god thank you thank
you for what you do you don't have to thank us we thank the wounded warriors project we thank
our service men and women coming back home so thank you for allowing us to be a part
