This is my latest project... The grandfather of all SUV's... 1951 Willys Wagon...

Started as this...

This is where I am at currently:

FYI:Reason for the oil spot - I overfilled the differential

The motor a L-161 Flat head (161 cubic inch straight six) is currently in the machine shop getting reworked... Hope to have the motor next weekend to put together over the three day weekend...

More photos to follow...

Wes,

The motor... $1200 for parts so far (Pistons, Ringsm Valves, guides, and bearings)... Still got tot get the machine shop bill...

Tires are $120 each for the proper tires from Coker...

Taking my time and budgeting the funds...

I used some electronic packing foam to protect the paint on the hubs...
