Willys Jeep Rescue: SEEMS A HAMMER IS THE CURE!! Removing the body!!

[@lyndelbeckwith1706]

PB Blaster is THE best for removing rusted, stuck bolts...PERIOD! Bar none! It's the only reason I got the heads off my 78 impala intact. A life saver!

[@russb3816]

Josh, I just love watching your videos especially the willysjeep ones. I am disabled and spend a lot of time in bed so I really look forward to your post. It really helps get me through my days. Thanks for all the entertainment that you provide. I appreciate it very much.

[@_Blackout6vi6]

I'm enjoying the progress you are making so far. It is finally starting to warm up here in Michigan so I can start working on my 56 Willys again. Looking forward to the video tomorrow!!

[@kellyandaprilline3305]

Thanks for the Dewalt tip. I’m working on my Mom’s brakes and I had left my battery plugged into my impact with adapter. Keep breaking her down so you can build her back up

[@RoadhogRNA]

Real mechanizing right there!!!! Nice work Josh!!!!! Buy an acetylene torch you’ll be glad you did!!!!!

[@waynebaird3539]

Josh, I sure wish you had some friends to help you with projects. Of course with your videos, you're not entirely alone. I always try to be with my sons and their friends while they work on projects if only to be a mechanic's helper and to supply moral support. I do know you are a fully able person but it's always handy to have more hands. :) Good Luck ! I have a 1974 jeep in that condition waiting for a full rebuild also. Share the fun. hahaha :)

[@andrewkiwi1]

Having done this sort of thing before DON'T THROW THE OLD PARTS OUT UNTIL THE JOB IS FINISHED. NOTE THE WORD FINISHED. Sometimes There are the parts that aren't obtainable having been made from unobtainium. LOL Then you end up having to make them from scratch. It then becomes a real advantage having something to work from. For cutting through the welds between the fenders and radiator support panel you may have to sacrifice one or the other to get it apart. Which is the easiest to repair later on or what price is the replacement part. Always assume the parts are unobtainable and be surprised at to what is available. The most common methods, angle grinder with thin cutoff wheels, drill and chisel, or gas set. Which ever does the least damage to the parts and or cost the least to replace. Also a set of reverse twist drills help remove broken bolts, as you drill them they unwind the bolt hopefully after you have broken the head off.. I know you have another body but i would have centre punched and drilled the head of that bolt out that you went to chisel off saving the panel beneath. It all saves money as more parts you damage getting it apart the more it costs to put back together and less you have to spend on the better quality parts that do cost. Some people like to use original parts that you can sell to save some money and keep them original even if they have to rebuild them.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

You are absolutely right!! Nothing is going anywhere until the job is finished...thank goodness I have all these videos to look back on if I get "hung up" on something and can't figure out what goes where

[@darylcampbell3244]

I’m going to have to come up from Florida and see the Jeep. You’re killing me with the to be continued stuff!!!!!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Man...I just couldnt bring myself to post a 35 min video.....just too darn long....you'll enjoy tomorrow!!!

[@donlatimer5114]

Jack the jeep up and put some jackstands under the frame and put your runaround carts under the jackstands, that way you can remove the wheels and get them out of your way

[@allanperry6507]

Keep your dad's Willys. Too me it will have more sentimental value and the hours of past and future fun are worth it. Huntsville Ontario Canada 🍁 OlllllllO

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

You'll understand where it's going soon....then you'll see why...the guy I'm selling it to is just like family...and this actually gives ol popcorn the opportunity to be in magazine shoots, calender's...all sorts of fun stuff....It's a well thought out sale that's for sure

[@peterwill3699]

What was it worth to sell it.

[@jportale]

Go get it Josh! Great project.

[@grandmasfavorites]

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow.

[@pjwancafarms-landonwanca3907]

plz keep the willys for yourself it came from your childhood and shldnt be given away that guy can find a different one this one is special i think u shld keep it for your fam

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

It's ok to share my old jeep....the guy that I'm selling it to is as close as family. He knows me and may dad very well. I'm super happy that he want's to buy it....and that he's gonna use it. What I havn't told you yet is that the jeep will be in magazine shoots, calender's and will live a life of usefulness and glamour, the ranch that it's going to is used for the firearms industry to test and showcase new product. Can you imagine....my dad's old turd jeep...fixed up and a feature on the cover of a magazine! Wow....this is more of an opportunity for the jeep to live another life...not just used on our farm....but shipped to Wyoming to a "retirement village"....you'll appreciate where it's going when I show ya!

[@peterwill3699]

Must be getting a lot of money to sell it.

[@joeking2961]

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer sounds cool and all but can see it sitting around gathering dust,etc all over again or worse in its future...i hope you get first dibs to buy it back again should your friend ever tire of it...kind of disappointed that your getting rid of it at all BUT your gonna do what your gonna do

[@todhollandsworth4371]

Keep them springs inside them radiator hoses if it's like the 4.0 inline 6 jeeps they put the springs in the hose to keep the radiator hoses from collapsing and causing the engine to overheat on the 4.0 jeeps on the bottom hose

[@doomman700]

Exactly

[@laohantun7404]

Willy jeep is so cool....world wide popular....even Asia....

[@loadedzune]

Way digging your project Josh! Those old jeeps are super fun! And the frame will be solid as can be. That's my prayer of will power for ya!

[@MrPaveles]

Finally!! Some action on the channel

[@benjaminstockton3917]

Doing a good job Josh keep it up buddy

[@jeep146]

I think Corporal O' Reilly sent a Jeep home to Iowa from Korea piece by piece in the mail in one episode of MASH. Kinda reminds me of this .

[@87nissanz24]

I also live in NC I’d love to visit the farm and help you work on the Jeep

[@williamglade6975]

Thank you for posting. This is an exciting project and I can't wait to see the finished product!

[@scottsmith4111]

Hey there Josh another good video it's nice to see you working on that jeep there I enjoy this kind of things good video thanks a lot

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Yessir thanks for the positive attitude Scott..puts a smile on my face...I guess you can tell I just love doing stuff like this!

[@scottsmith4111]

Stoney Ridge Farmer hey Josh you're quite welcome and I enjoy those kind of things myself to

[@r.seaboats6666]

Gonna watch the video tonight !! Awesome

[@renegade83j]

This is Great info! My brother and I just pulled a 46 Willys out of the woods in Southern Pines.

[@lyndelbeckwith1706]

You need a 4 1/2 inch angle grinder and a few packs of cutting wheels.

[@jannerkev]

Looks like your having fun mate

[@HomesteadJay]

I have the same tool kit!!!! I love it but dammit Ive spent soooooooo much time putting all the sockets back in when I open it the wrong way! Good idea to label!!!! WOOOOO!!! PB blaster is a killer too! I used to restore old rusted motorcycles before the homestead and I swear by it! Frozen cylinders, frozen calipers, rusted bolts, seat hinges, etc... I love that stuff! Need to try that grease! Have you used it yet?

[@captndavie]

I’ve opened socket sets upside down too many times. Why can’t they make them actually hold the stuff in place?

[@dillionmorvel8141]

Hey man next time you could use the air chisel to cut those welds. We used them to cut people out of cars on my fire department. But anyways love watching the videos. Can’t wait to see the end.

[@goldwingman1500]

The American Srew Driver a big hammer cheers from down under Mr Stoney Ridge Farmer . we call it shassis

[@JohnyTopaz]

Josh - just a note to say that some of the stuff you consider garbage, other people consider parts for their original or “rat rod-type” build - and they will pay for them! In other words - consider offering the parts you don’t want to people who might want them, rather than throwing them out. Like others here have said: “it’s only original once!”

[@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY]

fun project, better you then me whooo hooooo! =)

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Yessir...little hard work....for recreation..I've been good with wood...now learning a little metal 😁

[@MalloryBlack]

Good work there

[@stevenburge4288]

its going to be a very nice jeep good job

[@Harley365]

Keep the jeep in the family brother. If you get rid of it you will regret it and by then it will be too late. Oh yea and tractor supply sells 60 gallon dewalt compressors for 500 Bucks Just gor one myself. Run some good power to the shop and you will be set

[@subixbarbarasson2544]

Something I learned while working on my dual sport. "If you kan't fix it with a hammer, It's probably elektrikal"...... ;)

[@steveouellette518]

sounds to me like you need another 24×36 steel barn for vehicle storage only. Insulated and heated

[@wilbertbirdner1303]

doesn't everybody?

[@TacticalTomCat260]

I'd take that over South Dakota any day lol all this flooding

[@brianstewart3918]

You need to get some cut off wheels (death wheels) for your angle grinder. They work good on cutting welds.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

I agree! I have a air cuttoff saw...but as you can see...my compressor isn't gonna cut it

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

FOLKS....I HATED TO SPLIT THIS INTO TWO VIDEOS....BUT AFTER HOURS OF EDITING...THE VIDEO WAS STILL 35 MINS LONG....SO NOW AT LEAST YA HAVE SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TOO TOMORROW!! THIS WAS SO FUN!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR ENJOYING THIS WITH ME!! JOSH

[@Thegpguy]

Stoney Ridge Farmer sell the old parts that you don't need on eBay

[@briankshaw8755]

You need a huge new barn.😎

[@centaur1a]

You should get those car lifter installed in your garage so you don’t have to crawl under the vehicles that you work on. The problem would be you need to raise the roof on your garage, or build a totally new garage.

[@briantinner3147]

Wyoming? As in Guy in WY?? I think Blake could use a Willys in his life 😎

[@quinceyfoose4276]

Man the keep looks good way re go an restor a pice of history bro it's a shame ya can't save the body but the new one looks grate are ya going od green or no

Ohhhhh yeah you can’t thank pb-blaster enough....there is a lot of rust.... you should always have a box of fluids like pb-blaster...

I have worked for remodeling company. You can possibly start a fire if you leave a Dewalt Battery on the charger. I have heard of manufacturing company's Dewalt's doing the same, so whatch it.

[@cadillacroy]

I's a mystery to me !! If your buddy wants a "new" Jeep why not just buy ALL the parts and build him one ?? This way you are just sacrificing an old one just for the sake of it after all you are buying nearly a whole Jeep anyway !!! I know you can buy a chassis and engine !

[@jerrypushaw]

I'm sorry but you lost me on this when you said you are selling it. Pretty disappointing.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

I have a FAVOR TO ASK everyone that sees this video...if ya like this kinda content..PLEASE SHARE IT ON YOUR FACEBOOK!! IT HELPS THE CHANNEL SO SO VERY MUCH!! IF YOU EVER WANT TO GIVE BACK....PLEASE SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS!! THANKS SO MUCH!! Can't wait to show ya tomorrow's video!!! JOSH

Shared! I got a friend who has a Willy. He never got his running I don't think.

Josh needs more money to throw at the Jeep....

[@idahofabricator8710]

Hey Josh pay special attention to where the spring shackle mounts on the frame, that’s where I had lots of cracking on my jeep frame. I had a box in the frame on those four spots easy Peezy.

[@garyallsebrook3493]

Idaho Fabricator Yep. I had to install scab plates on every hanger for the shackle mounts.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Cool....I'll be sure and check and double check...thanks man!

[@polycat7670]

How in the world did you make yourself stop working on it?!? Usually the wife has to come ask me to go to bed.....

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

LOL.....wanted to show you the body coming off the frame in the sunshine...believe me I didn't wanna stop...but filming it all made me do it lol

[@adrockey]

If you don't use the old grill hang it on the wall in the garage. Its good wall hanger.

[@Jacksonransom]

Would have been cool to see a minimalist restore rather than just shotgun mechanics and blasting a bunch of new parts it for no good reason. Anyway thanks for the upload.

[@wilbertbirdner1303]

i think josh is right that this one is too far gone for that type of approch.

[@Jacksonransom]

@@wilbertbirdner1303 getting the engine purring before replacing cosmetic items would have been a start.

[@lancehenthorn17]

I had to take break and pause the video. Before I got back to watching I was thinking I'm glad Stoney Ridge is restoring the Willys. Well just after I started watching again. You tell us you're not keeping the Willys. Wow that really sucks! From the first time I saw that awesome Willys I wanted it. That said I knew I was not able to restore it even if I had it. Lack of funds. I was glad to see you were going to keep it and restore it. Glad you're fixing it up bummed you're not keeping it for the farm. Well can't wait for more videos of the restoration. If I lived closer I sure would be bugging you to let help work on it! Ok I'll stop whining now!

Hey Stoney. I've been watching your jeep series since the 1st video. Do you think you could send some viewers my way ? I've been working on a 1942 Ford GPW with the willys engine. Thanks buddy. Respect.

[@GrandsonofKong]

Sorry if I missed something earlier, but did you ever resolve the missing VIN Plate? Just wondering...…..

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

I had to order a new VIN plate...request my paperwork back from DMV and once the jeep is restored I'll re-install the VIN plate with correct numbers. Not much on these jeeps for identification

[@GrandsonofKong]

Oh yeah, simpler documentation and much simpler operation too.

[@thomasarussellsr]

Try to keep the old parts as usable as possible. Even if you don't use them yourself, someone might ask about the parts and you can sell them at a good deal for them and they lay the shipping or come get the parts. This could mean more money for the rebuild fund. And use, this appears to be a rebuild, not a remodel or restoration, in the typical verbiage use in automotive restoration circles. Going to look nice, wish you could keep it or that I had pit the first and best bid in for it myself. I love the old Willys jeeps. I learned to drive in on with my grandpa. The recipient is going to be one lucky fella.
