Wakefield Willy Update 1.2


Drew & I set aside today to make some forward progress on the Willys Project, and we got a lot done.

Engine
Nothing, all parts are at a engine shop in downtown Nashua. We have put a lot of work in that arena already and did not really have anything to do in this department.

Frame / Body
We got a lot done here thanks to my newest power tool, an angle grinder. Boy did this save a lot of work! Rusty bolts are so annoying, until you slice them in half with this. A must when working with rusty parts.

We basically started stripping the 1959 Willys. Removed the Hood, Windshield, and other assorted parts. The last major hurtle is to remove the "tub" or "bucket" if you prefer. For that, we will either need to cut it up, or have a number of men help us lift it off the frame. We will see.

Drew did a lot of sanding, and removing bolts. Between the 2 of us, we got a lot done.
