[SEL] OT Willys Overland project.

[Curt]

Several on the list know engines are on hold for a while in our house as 
a new project is underway. Son Devin will be driving in a couple of 
years and we picked out a vehicle to restore for him. Something 
requiring sweat equity, something kewl, and something not very fast....a 
61' Willys Overland wagon. My granddad had one in the groves in Florida 
and I've always had a soft spot for them. Devin fell head over heals for 
them. He really liked the pickup version but was too tall to fit in it.

The factory did little for rust prevention and this makes for a lot of 
work nearly 50 years later. Here are the back cab repairs.

And the tailgate repairs.

A LONG way to go yet, but making progress. We redid the brakes, got it 
running, and drive it around a little. Thought you might enjoy the update.
