Thread: Oh no not another Willys Gasser build, this time a Willys shop truck

Well finished the fence first thing so got plenty of brownie points then more or less spent the rest of the day measuring, then measuring and then measuring again !!!
Decided where the join will be between the 2 halves and laid a plan out for the recess in the firewall. It was really a 2 man job but no one was around today, will have to get Gomez back to lend a hand

Also a few bits & pieces arrived, door locks, handles hood hooks & willys side trim, the eagle eyed amongst you will have noticed the cab is a 40 with the wipers above the screen, the coupe front is a 41 with wipers below the screen and has an extra swage line the 40 doesn't have plus I like the wipers above the screen, hence my cut line is below the 41 wipers, the side trim is the correct half round 40 pickup deluxe trim, the coupe trim is peaked.










These fenders caused me quite a bit of head scratching as I couldn't get them to fit right at first, until I realised they were the ones Mr Noble had used for mocking up his body and he had cut a bit off them sussed it in the end though








Door hinges are polished stainless steel, these were not available when I did my Coupe so they were chromed, these are much nicer and not much more money.







Door locks are Bearjaw type, I don't usually use bearjaw preferring an older style latch but these were cheap !!!








Willy Reproduction Parts chrome door handles







32 Ford hood hooks, probably only need 2 as I intend to hinge the hood








40 pickup deluxe side trim
