My new project Willys

[Ed Lapadura]

Thanks Woody and yes Flanigan's sounds great

I took apart the rear to replace the bearings and fount the ring gear and spider gears were bad so an 800.00 dollar set back was the rule of the day. I made up all the brake lines last night so as so as I get the rear put back together I'll be able to bleed them and move on to rebuilding the little Go Devil engine

Today I got a lesson in brake shoes. I had them in backwards. I also finished the front end.

Funny thing. If I turn the phone sideways to take the picture it comes out right side up.

My last iPhone did the same thing, no worries. I was just having a little fun with it. It is a sweet build and will happily follow along to watch the progress. :beer:

Rolling steering and stopping In 6 weeks. Headed to a military vehicle show this weekend! I hear tell they have a big swap meet so it will be a good time to look for the little things I need. Here's a picture of the finished chassis.

They are just uploaded sideways. I did fix them so they appear instead of the small image.
