1949 Willys Overland When I started by stripping the car down to bare metal. I was surprised to find that under the cars yellow paint was an original olive drab paint job. As I sanded off the paint It read "property of U.S. Marine Corp." Turns out it was an old Marine vehicle. The body needed a little rust repair in the driver door, but that was the only place. It seems the Marines did a good job of weatherproofing and undercoating so the body was really solid. All paint was done by myself and wild man Plynn Doss. I was lucky enough to find an original NOS basket weave headliner from Ratner the Jeepsterman. Seats were done by Martha Wheat/Christensen of Pro Prep interiors. The car still has it's original wood slats inside. I just refinished them and they look good as new. I recently found and installed an original radio and front grill trim. All chrome was done by Faith Bumper Service of Santa Clara. Future projects include replacing the windshields, rebuilding the front end, and adding wide whitewalls. back to Willys home... back to Willys Engine...
