It has been a busy time with the project. Here is a brief update.
Body
Firewall has been cleaned up and painted on the driver side. Still need to clean up the other side, but we have made quite a bit of a difference. Looking forward to finishing the firewall.
Electrical
This is a new area, and frankly I stumbled into it by accident. This needs some explanation.
Some Willys either have a 6V or 12 V system, and there is no way to know by year or serial number if your Jeep has which type of electrical system. My battery died this week, and I figured out that the generator is not working. We confirmed it today, it is doing nothing. We think it is a 12V generator given the voltage regulator. But the preferred upgrade is to install an alternator. Which is what we are going to do. Was not planning on getting into this, but we do plan to replace the belt, and it will be a good time to switch this engine component given all the body parts will be off.
Busy time but good, and I like the idea of upgrades and finishing off certain parts of the project. Starting to feel like a restoration, and less like a rusty old Willys.
