"Original"-- Technical Questions, Answers, Observations / Repro body

« on: July 19, 2013, 12:36:09 PM »

hello
I brought a repro. body for willy overland in ohio about 3 years ago , they put the body on there jeep. there they cut the holes for the pedals and fix the tran-mission hole. I fill around the plate with weld and ground it down.as the frame is half cj2a/ cj5a I had to fix it for the fenders and grill to fit. the tub fit great. there will be some holes that you will have to drill to make it your own.
Rommel told me that he fix a lot of the thing on the new tubs.
I say try it, I think that you will be happy with the new body kit.

when i work in the blacksmith back in 1965 we build trailer axle by buying a set of front spindles out of a truck or a car. you press the hub out of the brake drum and then cut the spindle out the mass that is left. you cut about a 1/4 inch biger then grease seal area. you can weld the spindle into a pipe or tube.we set the spindle in the pipe ont the lathes.

[size=12]I don't wish to sound like an old codger with nothing better to do than discuss his medical problems, but. If I am slow to respond here's why. Yesterday I had cataract removal surgery on my left eye. It was an all-day affair. Down for at least a week. No lifting over five pounds and no bending below my considerable waistline. I'm back down there next week for the other eye. While painless, it is temporarily debilitating. My left pupil has yet to close from full open. No carb work for about two weeks. Little, if any driving. Full recovery should be quick. Let's hope what's left of my mind can hold out against the coming boredom. And the ever watchful eagle eye of my long-suffering wife. I sneaked in here to the computer to catch up.[/size][/b]

how the eyes doing?
