Wow. That's a heck of a sight seeing Odie and Whitey side-by-side. Really sharp. So good, in fact, it makes me want to burn down my garage and find a new hobby.� ;D

Woe!� Now that's too extreme.� You have wicked skills that I'm just trying to keep up with.

Okay Bretto, I have to admit I don't know what Brown Badge refers to.� I Googled "Brown Badge".� The description on the� Urban Dictionary site is...well...Let's just say...I don't think this is what you're referring to. ;D

LOL ;D

I meant the Brown badge on the windshield vent cover in the before pics.  At least I think it reads Brown.

Laughed out Loud ;D.  Okay, I get it now.

I still have that door and the 'Brown' lettering.  That may have had some meaning for a previous owner, but that is in the past now. 

That said, if anyone wants that Brown lettering, you can have it. ;)

Maybe a retired UPS driver?

Possibly.  Because of title issues, I have tracked down the last actual title holder.  He is not a UPS guy, but someone in its deeper past might have had UPS ties.

Some of you guys are lucky to know your Willys' history.  I'm not so lucky, but I do enjoy speculating...imaginary or not. ;)

I worked on the vacuum wiper motor.� I cleaned it, polished the vacuum chamber and lubed it with lithium grease.� I made sure all the channels were clear. I was able to save the gaskets.�

I reassembled it and it now works very well.� Maybe too well.� The wiper function is almost...violent! :)� I think I'm going to have to fix up the motor on my green Willys now.�

So when I get my tubing section made I'll have to take the wiper motor apart.....Mine works but needs encouragement!

Now, about that "Brown" logo..I know I've seen it on heavy trucks..

Is it like this?

Here is some stuff I've wrapped up.







And finally, the finishing touch that makes this Rachel's Willys.� She wanted a "Happy Willys".� I think we pulled that off.

The lettering is perfect...as we have come to expect....

Do you have a Boston Terrier?...at least that looks like one to me....

A happy jeep for sure.

Thanks Randy.  I cheated.  I used a Willys stencil and an air brush. :)

Yes, we have four Boston Terriers.  Rachel got involved with a rescue group a while back.  I've always been a big dog guy, but it's hard not to fall in love with a Boston.  They are the 'clowns' of the canine world.  Lots of personality.
