| JIM'S WILLYS PROJECT |
 |
| This is Willy the day I brought it home from San Jose. Looks good, but the engine is frozen, numerous leaks and welds and some missing parts. |

| This is the ongoing story about my adventures with my Willys.When I first bought it, I assumed a little work and I would have a neat old truck to beat around in. Little did I know the extent of things to come. One thing leads to another and eventually it's torn down to the bare frame and every little detail has to be attended to. There are a few mods along the way but this remains basically stock. Check out the one piece door glass page as an example. The paint job page shows the extent of a little engine swap project. The same thing happened a few years ago when I was looking for a Willys but ended up with a 55 Chevy big window. As you can see on my 55 Chevy page, this turned out to be a big project too. |
