Progress, and new challenges.
The frame is painted, the rear of the willys is painted. It is time to assemble the 3 remaining pieces of the jeep. 2 rear panels, and the rear valence with the tailgate. I wish it was as easy as bolting them to the rear bumper, but it is not.
If you look closely at the rear panel attached and the rear corner they don't match up. Not surprising considering the age of the tub and it has probably been sagging for decades.
So what to do? See the engine crane lying there in the background. I think it maybe time to reassemble it and use it to lift of the rear corner. I might have to do it on both corners, I am fairly certain both sides will need some help.
So I am going to attach the other rear panel and see how bad it is, and then probably decide to erect the engine crane. Exciting times, glad the tools are here to work with.
