So ironic that you mention fenders.  ;D    Mine have been hanging on the garage wall,  and last week I thought I would fool with them a little to at least make SOME progress on Hoover.

Your fenders look great!

Love the photos of Fall Colors Tour!!   I was really hoping to make 2015,  but it is looking doubtful now.   Hoover will almost certainly not be running.  I could bring my '2A,  but Colorado is SO far away,  it would be no small undertaking.

Thanks for sharing photos.   They are a great inspiration.

Well, keep the FCT in your bucket list.  For any of you Easterners that ever have a chance to come, the beers and cigars are on me. Still haven't gotten anyone to smoke a cigar.  Heck, I don't smoke cigars either, but for some reason, a cigar on a Willys trip just seems "right" to me. 

I know it's a huge undertaking to make a trip like that. It always amazes me the distances people travel to come to that event.

The cigars I bring are a bit better than a Swisher, but not much better. Your typical $3 to $4 dollar stick.  They are chubs, so we can have the General Patton sort of look and feel. ;D

Thanks Kirkski,

Decisions to eliminate a Leaky OD Willys have chewed up a good portion of my spring and summer Willys workshop time.� This and an exhausting work schedule has put a real damper on "Project Whitey".

Now, I'm very close to paint stage...right when the cool winter season has arrived.� I'm not a huge fan of painting during the cold months, but I may still give it a try.� We'll see.

Thanks for looking in.�

Tim

Dang Tim - I got all excited when I saw activity on your build thread - I don't think it gets any easier around this time of year either! We will all look forward to seeing your handy work.

The colder it gets, and the longer the drying times for the paint, the finer the bristles on the brush will be needed.! 8-)

Tim,

I can't get the video to play....can you just copy and paste the address while it's playing? Or, tell us the title and we can search for it..
