    Here are pic's of the chassis now done. All brake lines are installed. Rear end is set ready to go. The front axel is done except for the shocks. Looking good. Now I can concentrate on the body and paint.:D

    Yes Alaska53 I have OCD. I have had it all my life. All things must be in order. I love perfection. But it is not achievable. I do cars as a stress outlet. I love detail in the things I do. Just look past my compulsiveness and enjoy my build. Thank all you guys for your interest.

    Sorry I didn't mean you being compulsive I meant myself. But nothing wrong with it either way.

    Well I'm giving this a try. Hope the uploads work. The frame is ready for the body to be refit. So far all is going as planned. Check out the front wheels. I love the finish. Exhaust system is next. All body work is done. Just to sand and start painting.

    Some times I get tired of working on the large parts of the Willys. So I love the small detail items that add to the cars personality. Here in the Pacific NW it does get cool at night in the summer. So this little Montgomery Ward heater will the job.
