Today it is pushing 90 degrees, which is crazy. And the activity with the Willys Project has heated up as well. Here is what has happened this Spring so far:
Cargo Trailer equipped to haul a "Willys"
The "Bondo Jeep" was stripped, and it's chassis was sent to the scrap yard.
As mentioned, a 1960 Willys CJ5 purchased.
Now the 1960 Willys runs, but it needs the following changes:
Master Cylinder ( no brakes at the present moment)
Rebuild the Carburetor
Gasket for Manifold Exhaust
If we get these done, we will be in excellent shape. Drew is looking forward to take it out and have some fun with it.
Other items on the immediate list to do are to take the L-Head Engine out of the 1957 Willys, remove it's top and begin stripping it for teardown. Sell some parts that we will not be using, and make plans to remove the 1960 Willys Tub. It is a very exciting time, and we hope to make a lot of progress as the temps heat up.

New Addition: 1960 Cj-5 Willys
Yep, with Spring here we decided to get moving on the project. Pictures will follow, but here are the basic details.
Picked it up just south of Binghamton, NY in PA. Good frame, running F-Head and a so-so body. Had it running, but it needs some TLC. Plus a few gaskets and a master cylinder. A good start to getting it on the road.
