Looks like you got it figured out, looking forward to your updates. :cheers:

Rubber coated

Since it's down to the frame, we applied a rubber coating to the frame (and pretty much everything else that isn't supposed to rotate).

Now I'm gonna have to pick colors... I can get a good deal on some tan Rhino Lining for the top, but what color will go with that? Thinking maybe Dodge's "Patriot Blue" or a nice Candy Apple Green. Suggestions, anyone?

Willy Wiring, old and new

Some of the wiring is 70 years old. Until this rebuild/upgrade. Here's a shot of the old wiring and the new replacement stuff. I hope it looks more professional when everything gets connected and terminated.

Karl, what's happening with Willy? Is he going to be roadworthy by the Moab Willys Rally in a few weeks? Inquiring minds would like to know... :)
