    New here From Illinois

     



    Just getting my car to where I can drive it down the road. Scratch built in my garage exclusively. Still a lot of details to work on, especially the interior. Just got the tires and shocks done last weekend. Tie rods, brake bias, and windshield - I should be on the road soon anyway.

    Welcome aboard; Looks like one nice ride.
    To bad you live so far away I would come over and help test drive it.
    But I bet non of your friends said that to get a ride before.
    Nice Job.

    Yes, Cat is a big fixture here. Komatsu also does wheel loaders and mining trucks in town. Mitsubishi has a Plant nearby building Eclipse's & whatever. Not exactly beautiful scenery (FLAT open fields forever), but economy hasn't busted quite as bad as some areas.

    Welcome to the Club, awesome site and really neat helpful people here. Awesome little car. Questions... Is it a steel Willys body? Does the doors open and if do can you take a photo of the hinges etc.? Is that an aftermarket windscreen frame and posts? and finally love those flames and the different colour scheme.

    Yep, it's steel. The windshield frame is original, there is a structure under the cowl to support it. The doors do open, I put bearclaw latches in them. This is the best picture I have of the hinges, they are original also. They have a spring system in them to hold them open.
