[SEL] OT: Jeep gas tank

[curt at rustyiron.com]

Ron,
In your neck of the woods is Willys America in Casadera (sp?) They have
many old parts and just might have a screen door version of gas tank the
neck can be robbed off of. <http://www.willysamerica.com/>
You working on a military version or a domestic wagon? We have been
working on this one for a year and a half. Restoration photos are here:
<http://www.oldengine.org/members/holland/images/WillyOverlandRestoration/Thumbnails.html>

and photos from the day we picked it up:
<http://www.oldengine.org/members/holland/images/Willys%20Overland/Thumbnails.html>

Here is the inspiration photo we are working towards:
<http://www.willysamerica.com/museum_vehicles/1960maverickwagon.jpg>

Where you see the white, ours will be a sea foam green. Real nice contrast
to the dark metallic green.

Have any photos of your project?
