1951 Willys wagon - Dads toy It Runs and Drives now !!!

Very, very nice work. :waytogo:

You should be proud of the work that you have done, for your Dad. :bow:
 
Thank you :bow: :D

Im really happy with how its coming together!!!! Im honestly amazed that everything actually fit and lined up as well as it did....the doors are from a 53 and a 62, the hood and grill are 62 parts also and the fact that I replaced all the rockers/ floors /cab supports etc and the tail pan which was completely gone when I started (the tailgate and hatch had me worried)....so everything fitting is big relief !!!!!:D

Hope to get the this thing in primer and paint asap.....then wire it and finish plumbing.
 
Sooo.....

One other "update"......those will be the last pictures of the Willys at that shop...........

We moved :woot::woot:.....:D my new shop is over twice the size, only 15 minutes from my house, has heat and AC.....and is cheaper rent !!!!!

I haven't gotten too much more done, moving kind of kept me busy and in the process I managed to smoke the clutch in my 11 Cummins :doah: ...but all is good now and I'm hoping to make some big progress very soon!!

Here's a pic of the new place....my buddies truck with my 20' work trailer for size reference
