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

Steve,
Just curious, and it's of no concern at all but wondering why you cut away material to radius the corner, which increased the size of the "infill panel" significantly. More strength to the nicely curved hood line to infill panel, or something else. Again, just curious and always looking to learn.

Steve,
Like I said, I totally misinterpreted how your filler panel was going to be done, and was visualizing an extension of the hood side to fill the gap vs a body panel to mate up with the hood edge, but that wouldn't allow the hood to swing, so it was a "DUH" moment for me, an I apologize for the interruption. I totally enjoy your innovative approach, and appreciate that you take time to show us your steps.
