I forgot how cool your tub is.  Seeing it upright brought it all back.  [smiley=thumbsup.gif] [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

I'm lovin the color!� Show us more. 8-)

Edit...  I know what you've been doing.  You've just been sitting out there, for hours on end, staring at it.  Right? 

Be honest.  Your excitement won't let you break free. ;D

Well I think it looks great.....that body is really interesting....I think you said it came from an orchard or nursery? Gotta wonder if it wasn't a special order....

Thanks Dave that is one thing I agonized over, I knew I wanted a grey, but what shade...? Once I picked the wheel color, this grey seemed right.

Still a ways to go...

I'm really glad you opted to keep the "addition". Normally I'd encourage eliminating anything that wasn't stock but the extras on that tub are so old and well done that they really are a unique part of that Willys' history.
