1951 WILLY'S JEEPSTER RESTO.....

[CUSHE63]

Shop : A 1951 Willy's. I don't know too much about it though. Other than I will be kept very busy again. Yeah !!!!!! We have some really differentthings going on in the coming months. Check out the pics. I will update any new info I can get from the Boss. If any of you out there know any info about thisbaby, please post it up !!!

Paint is shot. It doesn't look too bad rust wise. Except for the rockers and drivers floor area.

Enjoy, Steve

It's a Willys JEEPSTER. Hit it on google.

My dad had one with a 455 Buick in it. It was a rocket.

It's been awhile since I posted anything on this project. But it is the reason I haven't done much on my bug.

Here is the chassis already blasted and powdercoated:

Here I was a busy little beaver :
new floors:

Middle frame mounts:




Rear seat frame mounts:




New left rocker and inner rocker and front 1/4 panel :







The rocker was a bought part, I had to make modifications to it. I fabbed a inner rocker and lower outer flange. Here are some pics of the front 1/4 panel thatI cut from a flat piece of metal, then rolled it to the shape of the Jeep, then cut it to fit the opening I made:









The old stuff:




There you go. That should hold you for awhile.

Enjoy, Steve

This is beyond fascinating to me. It's craft. It's art.

I don't know what else to say.
