90ACCORDLXGUY : 1967 Willys Jeepster

[Hondapawa]

Wow your jeep is really nice. the body is in very nice shape for the year . Its getting real nice.

[90ACCORDLXGUY]

Drill has been purchased. If the weather gets a little warmer by next week I
will start working on finishing the mounts. Hoping also to get a new job soon
so I will have a better schedule to work on this and other projects on top of
having more money to finish.

[90ACCORDLXGUY]

Cleared the Jeepster out today. Got the other side of the frame drilled out for
the mount, just need to bolt up the mount plate and weld the actual mount
to it. Almost got the first mount I built awhile ago drilled out so I could put it
in for good. Just need to re-sharpen the drill bit.

Hoping tomorrow I can work on it some more when I wake up, lol.

What an exciting build!

Id love to restore a classic vehicle, anyone doesn't matter.

It has to be so awesome to see it go from scraps of metal to a finished project!

Coming along nicely!

I say if you don't paint it Army green, then paint it the RED on the other page.

Thanks man! I like seeing that as well!

I think it will be getting painted a orange/copper color when I paint it.


Update

The motor is finally in for good! Getting the passenger side header to fit
hopefully this weekend, started working on it monday. Got a radiator that
should work also so I will working on that too. After those two things are
done I will start on the firewall and the grill. Should be able to do the wiring
after that!

Man, that's so much tire.

I think you've managed to make that thing mid-engined! I'm not a huge Jeep guy, but I'm liking that!

I know, lol. Yeah I had to take the back spark plug out on the driver's side from inside the jeepster.

[90ACCORDLXGUY]

Have the radiator mount almost done. I'll take pictures soon. Need to get
metal to build the firewall and side panels still. Can't wait to work on this again.

oh wow! I agree with Mike, I'm not a Jeep guy either, but this one here looks nice..I like it! Keep up the good work man

Thanks Ronald!

Pictures of radiator mount 90% complete, just have to put straps on the
back for extra sturdiness. Once I'm done I won't even have to bolt it to the
grill and could drive it without the front end!

looks like a good project man, really good, does it have dana 44's set under it?

[90ACCORDLXGUY]

Yeah the rear is. The front is a dana 30 widetrac though and I'm not sure if I will switch
it out or not. The gears are 3.73s if I remember right.

[90ACCORDLXGUY]

Not much of an update but bought a Dana 30 widetrac front differential
today, this one is complete and ready to use unlike the one I currently have.

I will be putting it in the week of the 19th as I'm on vacation!
