Nicolson
Sharpest Tool
Hello I am new to the Old Willys Forum. My name is Keith Nicolson. I have always been intrigued with Jeeps. One of my first sand box toys when I was young was a Jeep fire truck. While I was in high school during the 70’s CJs seemed to be very popular. Recently I bought a 1961 Willys Wagon. I have been reading post by members on the forum and have found them to be friendly and informative. Now that I am starting to plan the course of my project I figured that now would be a good time to introduce myself and enjoy the company of other Jeep enthusiast. I found my Willys on Craig’s list. It had been sitting for 21 years. It looks to have a rattle can paint job Ford Blue engine enamel maybe? I figure it has about a 6” lift kit and 35” tall tires. At no extra cost I have also inherited quite the collection of Pack Rat nest. It no longer has its original drive train but instead a Chevy 283 mated to a TH 400. It is rough to say the least or to sum it up in my wife’s words. “Did you really want to buy that?” I am looking forward to sharing my thoughts and experience with The Old Willys Forum.[attachment=0:1s9ky9vx]5V35U35P43kd3pb3obbbe02f44e7813791082[1].jpg[/attachment:1s9ky9vx]
