Wakefield Willys Update 5.1

 Happy New Year!

Yep it is 2012 & the CJ5 is still not done.  I still have a lot of work this year and I suspect 2013 will start the same way.

Yet progress is at hand.  I had salvaged the dashboard, rear valience and a corner piece from the 1957 Willys.

Salvage work is not just ripping stuff out to save, it takes a lot of work.

The dashboard is a great example.  So many wires, switches and I am going to need to know how to reassemble it with new parts.  It is important to make sure I catalog my work for future consideration.

The end product is in the final picture.  A few more things need to be taken off, and it will be ready to be restored.  Most likely sometime in the Spring.

My hope in 2012 is to have the majority of body work completed.  We will see.
