The project is almost complete. I have been looking for a quality 6 volt horn without success. Finally I decided to clean up the original horn and install it until I could find a replacement. I hooked up the old horn and much to my surprise it worked. Recently I received a "Willys" stencil from Beachwood Canvas so I could paint the logos on the hood, windshield, and tailgate. You can see the results in this photo.
We are almost done with our project. I am waiting for the new glass to arrive for the windshield. Classic Flat Glass should be shipping it today. I just came back from a test drive and everything is working well. The new wiring harness from Walck's is performing flawlessly. More videos are on the way. How about this scene from Green Acres!!!
Everman Paint and Body has finished the paint work. Wow, it's fantastic. Now I have to get to work on the electrical system and final assembly.
I completed the installation of the steering box today. The front end is aligned, steering gear adjusted, and all the fitting have been greased. If only the body was in place I could take it for a ride. It won't be long.
The new seat covers have arrived from Beachwood Canvas Works. These folks know what they are doing when it comes to vintage jeep tops and seat covers. I restored the seat frames myself. It took quite sometime before I was satisfied with the finish. The frames were initially prepared by Metal Rehab with the rest of the body parts. I had to primer and sand the bare seat frames about four times. After four more coats of paint, more sanding, and hand polishing they look real good. The final product is HOT! Can't wait to take the jeep for a ride.
