Dash fit looks a whole lot better Steve, nice work!!!! Fiberglass is easy to work with, sometimes I think I prefer a 'glass body to a steel body just because it's so much less labor intensive when things are modified or repaired.....

You got that right,Dave..

Thanks Dave, I think you have to look at it from 2 different ways, Yes its easy to repair but when your building a glass body you have no returns or things like window channels etc etc, all this has to be made and glassed in place which is often a chore. In my opinion building a steel car is a fair bit easier but they both have disadvantages

I had a pm from someone asking for my address as they had something that would look nice on my Willys

Anyway a box turned up with a Moon half sweep tach in it so i just wanted to say a huge thankyou to this guy, he wouldn't accept payment either but said i could help him out at a later date.



Anyway i got it fitted, It was a column mount but i didn't want to look down so i modified the mount to bolt to the top of the dash where i can see it easily.

The tach is an awsome touch and I like the mount

Nice gift. Looks great there on the dash.

Super nice gift, Steve. Are you at liberty to tell us who your benefactor is, or do you want to keep that between the two of you?

Don

To be honest Don i don't know his name even, He just pm'd me on the HAMB to say he was enjoying the build and that he had something i might like, next thing it came in the post, I replied thanking him for such a nice gift and havn't heard from him since. A very nice gesture i thought. I guess he prefers to stay in the background.

Very nice gift Steve and certainly looks good on top of that dash exactly where the Rev counter should be if not in the dash beside the speedo. Off topic now, the hospital phoned and my second knee replacement has been brought forward to the 8/8/2011 so heck I be out in that garage before I know it eh.

I hope so mate, best of luck with it.

You've got a secret admirer. Must have been the legs.

Whip, good luck with the surgery. Bet you are looking forward to getting it over with.

What a deal, Steve!!!! The tach is absolutely perfect for Willy, I'll betcha he likes it too! Another of those touches that go so far towards making the car "right" and further evidence that the only thing better then building your own Willy's Gasser is watching a real Craftsman build his!!!! Going to be a really first rate ride, Steve!

Thanks Dave, I was knocked out by the generosity shown by this guy, He contacted me by email last night and said he had it sitting on the shelf not doing anything and thought it would look cool in the Willys so donated it.
