Thread: 41 Willys Gasser project

Tweet

Well got a few hours in last night and started to make up the firewall, Its made in 3/4" x 3/4" x 1/16 wall box, It all bolts in and the box was free has it had a bit of rust on it so will get media blasted and powder coated, It will get skinned in polished stainless sheet as i already have some, It will be held in place with rivets for an old timey look.



The frame will be tied into the door hinges, one thing i picked up talking to willys owners at Bakersfield was that on all the willys when you open the doors they drop, This obviously is because when the firewall gets shoved back the A post loses all its strength, gonna make sure the strength is put back in this one.

Looking good,Steve,,wouldnt even know you had a pommy taxi frame under there now,would ya??What?did I say something wrong??

Hi guys,I'm back as that bloke said in some movie. Heck the pain but as everybody knows "No pain,no gain" so all is good. Thanks to all for your comments.
Steve, with the work you have done with the frame to reinforce the firewall,the doors certainly won't have that old age droop. I'm impressed young man. Oh a belated "Happy Birthday" to you sir.
I also have to agree with you about the balancing act life is between work,leisure and one's love life. If she indoors is being loved then there is always time to play with your own toys in the sandpit.

Cheers Whip, glad your back and sorted.
