Willys long cab

[bob w]

Ok, my very unofficial selection of top cool builds: (drum roll) 1st Place, Willys extra cab. The other first place, Torchie's Dodge.

I'm not seeing overkill, I'm seeing well built

I haven't checked in on this build in awhile. It's really looking good. I especially like the suicide rear door idea.

Cooool![cl[cl[P[P

Thanks guys

I think I've got a plan that will work. If I can pull it off.
We will see how it turns out .
Thanks for egging me on.

It got to the point of tripping over crap so I spent all day getting the shop
cleaned up and stuff put up so I can find things again. Some times I get tunnel vision and for get to to that often enough. Now if I can find my right hand glove I'd be good. I think that dang dog carried it off. He's been known to do that.

Thanks Old Iron
I can't ever remember regretting putting in a little extra effort into a build.

How's the Knee? I hope it's all going well for you.

Yea, I've never had issues with well built either.
Gees, what an ordeal on the knee. Had the second knee scheduled for March 2nd and canceled it indefinitely or if ever.

Been there and done that.
A knee replacement recovery is not easy.
Hang in there and do the therapy!!!!!!

But.......
Pain is a heck of a motivator.
If you are like me, the memory of the it fades and the other knee keeps getting worse and you get it done too.

Then if you are unlucky like me you can get a new hip to go with the knees.
The hip was a piece of cake compared to the knees tho.

Hope you recover quickly!!

Still cuttin on it.....

I think I've got the opening for the third door as big a possible today. Needs a little beatin where I broke the spot welds all out. That's easier and faster than drilling them out tho.

Then I can start building it back for hinges, striker plate, and a door that needs to be modified to fit the hole.

I also got the cover made over the hole I cut for the fuel tank. I was able to use the piece that I cut out of the side of the cab for the top. A little recycling.

I was glad to see all solid metal when I got it opened up. I hate finding swiss cheese cause I don't have the patience that Torchie does.

I've got nothing but time and it keeps me out of trouble. Mostly.

Insulation....

Any body know what kind of insulation this might be? Just got to wondering if it is Asbestos.
It's really fine hair like strands.

Looks to be same as the crew says but, use a respirator anyway.

Soak it with water before removing it, helps a lot to keep it from flying around in air and into your lungs and on your clothes to take into the house.

 

[I-R-POPS]

What a mess! I went with the theory it is rock wool. Pulled it all out and who ever put it in sprayed the old tar undercoating on and stuck the insulation to it before it dried. I'm just going to sand blast it and be done with it.

I worked on the door jamb some.

 

[Old Iron]

Look like a good profile on the jamb.
Did you bend that up?

 

[kenny c]

Looks nice. [P[P
