It may be hard to get an accurate measurement...

Glad to add a little Wobble to the fun!  ;)

Jenn was a lucky woman last evening... when she got home from "boot camp" there were 3 Willys waiting for her!

She got a lot of nice spare parts for her CJ2A including a radiator support rod. She even allowed me to have 4 screws that I have been wanting for several years. Flatties take a special screw with wings for each of the oil bath brackets. Jenn already had the correct screws for her Willys and really made my day by giving me what I needed! (Y'all can get your dirty little minds out of the gutter now!) ;)

ROFLMAO!!!!!


I wont even comment on that :-X


Yea I gave Mike 4 screws for payment of helping work on the CJ2 sometime. Funny how he took them and left though, something about getting home before dark.... :P

Hey I got the body off today.I should say Dave unbolted everything then we lifted it off. Then took the air hose and blew (oh this is just so bad) the willys off. I have pictures of all the dirt and rust that came off of it. Clumps of mud and grime caked all behind the tranny.
I will be posting picts soon, it is hard because I grab the laptop and sit in the living room and my program for my camera is on the regular computer. Guess I should install it on my laptop as well.

 I've got a few extra parts and some hard to find reference books for our Willys from working on my 46 CJ2A.  If you need anything, let me know.

ok I got my pictures on the computer now. Here is what we got.


first time starting in 3 years. 8/31/09

 

First time Willys has been drove in 3 years. Kids first ride8/31/09


took body off 8/7/09


the swept up pile of dirt that came off the frame.


this is the right side floor where the tool box was


this is the left side floor where the gas tank was


this is the whole inside of the back of the floor

the floors don't look to bad but the under side of the body was completely gone. I need to get picts of bottom side of the tub.

Man, it was really foggy that day!...or not.  ;)
Nothing a little Bondo can't fix, right, Jenn?  :)

It smoked for a good 5 mins.

And I don't think they make enough bondo for all the holes this thing has.

That's one smokin' Willys!

I know someone that once welded all the pin holes in an MB - he counted something like 10,000 before he was finished.  I don't think he'll tackle that floor pan though.  I'm surprised there was still some wood left under it.

Herculiner + tin and pop rivets + some diamond plate = body on life support.   Rusty does have a nice cj5 roll bar that should bolt right on there,  I think it was $25 or so.

A classic like that deserves complete metal replacement...NO BONDO OR RIVETS...I'm sure Jenn will agree.

Jenn:
Your photos are bringing back so many fond... and not so fond memories!  >:(
I think my thirst for beer increased significantly during the restoration process! Maybe that's why I keep tinkering with Ol' Yeller... so I can justify my thirst for beer. (Hey, it sounds good! Besides, I know a guy with a blue CJ5 that will probably cover my 6 on this claim!)  ;)

BTW: Aren't you glad I warned you about the smoke? :o

You know, you might have a rare mosquito control CJ.  They were an adaptation of the WWII smoke-screen concept.   :D
