They do look good! When you get a chance, touch a small flame to the cut frayed ends to solidify them and reduce further fraying.

Good job on the welding there Mr. Haines. That is as good as it gets. Now you need a WW2 first aid kit bracket and kit to mount behind the tag you just installed. Look up WW2 Jeep first aid kit. I anxious to take you up red cut and break in that Willys or Willis!  Did I just say that? |

It looks very nice. What's left? Time to make a list...then knock it out.
Did you ever get the gas tank worked out?

I have been diligently working on all the small items that need to be finished . Still much to be done. I have been frustrated by things like crimp style electric fasteners on my turn signal switch. Those things SUCK!! Before you pass judgment, go to any auto parts store. Ask them for soldierable connectors. You will get the Deer in the headlights look. Yeah just when you think you are done. I talked with Ron Fitzpatrick today, and put together what I believe should be my final order for a while. Always nice to talk with him. He is a pleasant and down to earth guy. He is including in my order, a one of a kind ....that's right , only one exists, item. Don't be Jelloness.....   One of the items is a new gas tank sending unit. I need that before the seats go in. Always something... My wife just commented to me....She sees me typing.. "I'm glad your so important!" I am not, but the Willys is... Time to check out.......  |

Has been a busy day today. Restored an original drivers side seat mount and welded it in place .   The paint is still wet in this pic. Installed the fuel sending unit and installed the gas tank.  Installed the front seats...   It has been a long time since I sat in Grandpas Jeep. |

The filler tube for the gas tank should work out nicely.  And sitting in the saddle again!!  |

Two checks: make sure the filler neck surface the gas capseals on is nice and flat so the cap seals or you'll have a wet left side. Secondly, you need a ground wire from a sender screw to a good ground point like the tank or seat holding bolt in the floor. The sender needs a ground. Paint doesn't ground well. Your fuel line may be doing all the grounding. That said, the plastic float most likely will be back to haunt you. Oh, my hearing aid works well. Pascal said Willys the correct way!  |

Hey...numbnutz...here is what you are looking for: lift the dotThese are your WWII style. You can probably find cheaper versions somewhere else that would be perfect for you. You might even be able to find them in brass. windshield studsYou will need something like these for your canvas top... washers and eyelets |
