What the heck?
It’s Phantom Green Now! A twist to the plot. There can be only one Chilly W***ys! The original! An executive decision was made!
So, let me introduce you to the Green Hornet, raced in southern Ontario in the glorious gasser days. Howard Brown was the owner out of Cambridge Ontario for this mean machine. Recreating this car has always been on my mind. My brother owned it when I thought W***y’s were not cool. Just old junk….
My how times change.
A rich history not forgotten with more to follow.
Getting this far, I’d like to thank the Famous Drag racing Hishon Boys & incredibly successful businessman John Waldi for their interest, support and assistance as they were very close friends to Howard. Also June Brown, for her blessings to recreate her husbands W***y’s.
Nothin like a prewar W***ys, rides up like a cutter through ice!
Oh & yes, I do have those original Magnesium “Wells Foundry Wheels”too. Just in case some of you were wondering….

Update on the crash victim. This blue car is now called “Chillin W***ys” and will come out much the same battle paint scheme. The change happened because restoration of the Original “Chilly W***ys” car is underway & there will be only one.
Thanking W***y at Portugal Autobody for the amazing job on the metal.
When the steel shell went in the shop, many said it couldn’t be fixed. But, here it is. Just like I hoped it would be!
Next in line is the suspension & then cage.
Who knows when we will ground pound again. But bet your ass, we are comin!

Soon she will be back boiling the hides & swapping gears!!!! Hell ya!!!

Famous W***y standing beside Chillin W***y’s. This man has incredible talent in the resurrection of this Canadian drag car. Many many thanks to you for your efforts W***y & the crew.
Some people seemed to think I’d forgot about this old hot rod.
I’m alive after flipping 100 mph & it saved my life.
Here’s a good example of brotherly love.
It will ground pound & boil the hides once again!
