With everything you do to the frame, it looks better and better !!

Surprisingly, there are only three fairly minor issues I’ve found so far. Not bad for a nearly 80 year old vehicle! Thanks for watching!

With out a doubt the most painful part of many of the Willys Overland rebuilds I have done involves the frame. Many hours spent with a side wheel grinder tenderly removing gomby gobs of welded reinforcement glued on to support snowplows and Saganaw steering boxes.. Using a cut-off wheel like a surgeon is an art developed over time and sadly error. I'll be following your adventure cheering you on. I bought my first Jeep in 1975. It was a CJ3-B sand dragster with a Holman and Moody Ford 289. I traded it for a 1958 Willys Station Wagon (also with Ford 289). Many Jeeps later I still have that '58. It's much happier with the original L6-226 flathead 6 I reinstalled. I'm wandering now. I just want to share some of my mistakes and hopefully save you some grief in your noble effort. Paul at Willys America and Carl at Walck's 4 Wheel Drive have shared in my many adventures. Reprinted Service Manuals and Parts Catalogs can save your bacon too.

pretty sure I've swept up 50Lbs of rust from my shop floor from working on my 47" :)

I can believe that! This was only the pile from this “session”. I’ve cleaned up underneath it several time before. Thanks for watching!
