Willys Wakefield Update 5.9

Still working on the Right Rear.

This was not on the list of fixing up the rear.  But as I was working back there I found holes that were not easily repairable.

So in the picture you can see what I have done.  Cut the bad steel out and plan to weld in a new piece.

The new pieces are fabricated, just waiting for another day to get the new pieces in.

I was able to work on the rear bumper, the rear left and clean up some parts.

A lot of work, but not much to show for it.  Hoping that will change before the snow flies. 

Wakefield Willys Update 5.8

The work continues..... slowly.

Yes, recently weeks have not been good for the willys project.  Got a few hours in today however.

What takes so much time are little projects like this. 

Drilling holes for the lights and hooks.  Sounds simple, but it takes precision, careful planning and then finally execution.

What was important in this step was the scrap bucket pictured towards the right of the 2 rear panels.  In there are the scrap parts that let me know where to drill.  I could have easily thrown them away but I didn't.  And boy, I am glad I didn't, made this job easier.

At the end of the day, I drilled a few hole and cleaned some parts up.  But it took hours, not minutes.  And that is why sometimes it feels like it is going so slow.
