Willys long cab

If this is your last build you have finished on a high note[cl
Travel safe and enjoy the road

Looks fantastic POPS. A travel thread would certainly be welcome as well...

WOW [dr

Looks great!

Great vehicle to tow behind your RV.
I had planned on traveling more at this point in life.I do, but it's only travel to and from the bathroom. [cl

Yes it would. There will probably be LOTS of people slowing down to check of the Willys. I know I sure would. Plenty of healthy pride in that build! Hats off to you sir! [cl[cl[cl

Every build for the last 10 years has been my “last” build.
As evidenced by the Dodge in the shop and the ratty caddy in the drive.
Travel will be great but i will be watching for a new build thread.[P[P

Thanks Soltz.
The price of every thing has gotten so out of hand that I just can't justify it on my limited income.

Maybe a bare bones Rat of some kind but no more Restomods.

Sadly I can relate to those trips all too well.

I never say never but if I build some thing else it will be really LOW BUDGET
and for sale! I have no more room to store any more vehicles and I'm too old to build more garage space.

I may just sit back and watch you!!![cl[cl

I've put 248 miles on this thing the last couple of days.[ddd
The only real issues have been a ATF leak on the shift contol pressure switches for the overdrive and torque converter lock up and I didn't get the adjustment on the brake master cylinder/brake booster rod right. Nothing too serious tho.

And then there's the learning curve of tuning the FiTech EFI system. I'm getting close. This tuning by poking around on a hand held computerized thingamajig is way out of my wheel house.[S[S

Next on the list is Title transfer and registration.[cl

A few out side shots.....

Lookin' good. Pops.

Looks like it is out in it's own elements, perfect job!!!!!!!!!!!!

That truck blends in well without being camo...excellent!

Alaska, hey? Let us Western Canadians know if you end up making the trip, maybe you can meet a few of us along your journey.

The truck looks awesome!
