Wakefield Willys Update 4.3

I have not been busy with the jeep this summer. I need to be as it will not fix itself. Over the last few weeks, things have picked up.

As mentioned in a previously post, the windshield corners were rusted out and need to be cut out, and new sheet metal welded in place.

Well as you can see, we finally have started replacing the sheet metal. Started with welding the bolts in that will be used to screws the windshield bracket itself. Then the first piece of steel, and after the primer dries, the second piece that goes on top of it. Once welded, and primed, we will be done! At least with this one corner, the other corner is still waiting.

Oil Bath Replacement on a Willys

The Old Willys Jeeps use an Oil Bath Air Filter Setup. Very common, most guys like it and stay with it. I for some reason am not a fan. But the alternatives have not been great.

I stumbled across this recently, and may give it a try.

WW2 Air Filter Conversion

I like the fact that it keeps the original look, while switching to a dry filter system. I may give this a shot.
