Wakefield Willys Update 4.5

 As I have said before, it has been a slow summer.  Not much work on the Willys Jeep.

Today I put the final touches on the Passenger Side Windshield Hinge Fix.  With some welding and grinding we are almost ready to paint.

Now it is time to start repairing the Jeep Tub on the Passenger Side.  The funny thing is when you start to take away the paint the Jeep looks like it was shot at with either a shotgun or rifle.  Those are rust holes that the grinder exposes.

Some of the holes were hidden by and old Pennsylvania Inspection trick.  In Pennsylvania, like NH, they look for "holes" in the body.  If your car looks like Swiss cheese, it does not pass inspection.

So if it is a small hole, like some of these on the side of the jeep, they would simply put a screw there bolted from inside.  All those holes you see where former screws.  Funny solution, and clever at the same time.
