Last update in 2010Body Work
Since it is cold outside, work on the project has slowed down considerably. It usually does this time of year. However, I am trying to keep myself busy with a few small winter projects.
My current focus is the tub, specifically the 2 front corners where the windshield hinges attach. Like many Willys, rust has eaten away at the corners and metal behind the hinges looks like Swiss cheese.
So I have cut away all of the bad steel, and am preparing to weld in some new bolts as well as new steel plates to "rebuild" the front corners. It won't be pretty, but it will be strong, I can promise you that.
The pretty part is not so important, as most of the welding will be covered up. The picture is of the driver side front corner, and I am read to start the rebuild.
My only hold up is that air tools don't work well in the cold. The next few days the temps are above the freezing mark so I thought I would take advantage of the mild weather and get a little work done.
