Steve,
Love to watch your fab process and welding skills. What's the function of the round projection from the ends of the square tube crossmember at the rear?

On the stance, I always thought Mazmanian's gasser looked tough with the extra couple of inches of height in the front, but the SWC coupe would offer a bit better aerodynamics for cruising and one can't criticize their stance, either. Your Willys is going to be very cool!
