We got the cab and front end back off and doing the dreaded body work again.

It's been real nice following along, Popses.
When a friend showed up at our old combine day with this beauty, I thought you should see it. I think it's a '47 Willis, with a four cylinder overhead valve engine.

Twice Pipes and a New Mexico Route 66 front plate. What more could you ask for? It's probably a '50-'52 . They put the 5 cross bars on front grill in 1950 plus the pointed front fenders instead of the flat tops.

Thanks for posting it. [cl[cl[cl[cl

Todays progress.....

We got a little more painting done today. We will let it set and get good and dry so we can mask it off for the Potomac gray with out the tape pulling paint.
It's not a show truck by any means but my Bride is happy with it.

It's a truck to be proud of. Well done Mr. & Mrs. Pops

Thanks Bob. We're still having fun and she hasn't ran out of money [dddyet.

Front fenders, valve covers and the must have semi modern stereo.

I've got to take my grandson on a once in a lifetime Oryx hunt tomorrow on the White Sands Missile Range. It's gonna be fun!

This project will still be here when I get back I'm pretty sure.

The two tone paint scheme looks better all the time. [cl

Are Oryx open season game, or controlled/restricted?

yes the paint is growing on me too.

The Oryx hunting is very controlled especially since it's on a military base. You have to put up with the Game Department and the U.S. Army.
I've been putting in for that hunt since 1974 when I got out of the Army. 45 years is a is a lot of rejection.

Damn! You two get more done in six months than I do in twelve years.[cl[cl[cl

We're on a mission, I need to get this thing finished before I get old and she runs out of money. Don't know if we'll make either one or not. [ddd[S

The Oryx hunt was a success and we had a blast. I was going to photo shop some of the blood out but I didn't. Hope no body is squeamish or gets offended. A really nice Game Warden came along and offered to take a 3 generation pic of Me, my youngest Son and my Grand Son.
Meat in the freezer!

Got a little rest Sunday and back on the Willys today for some more sanding, some masking and some more paint. I pulled the tape and plastic sheeting and My Bride is all smiles again.

 

[Burgerman]

Successful hunt, family time together, meat in freezer. [cl [cl
