    I like the chrome fenderwelt also for the guards Steve and as for the badges, I will wait and see where you end up putting them as I think they will add to the whole finish look of the car.
    I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

    I'll go with Uncle Bob on this one and the difference in the style of scrip just adds a little flavor or in your case flavour.

    How about one under the trunk Script below the license plate, and one on the firewall behind the engine, or welded to those custom valvecovers, or on the dash inside?

    Picked up a rather unusual line lock off Ebay (thanks to Rockit for spotting it} Its a MIco lever lock, basically a mechanical valve, they were first made in 1957 and used thoughout the 60's i'm told so ideal for my project.

    They were made by Minnesota Automotive Inc, I remember seeing some of them fitted to muscle cars in the early 70's but havn't seen one since.








    This one has sat around for years and was seized solid so I soaked it in plus gas for a few days and finally managed to get it apart, the main body is aluminium and has a steel sliding valve with an o ring seal, The bore was pretty corroded but cleaned up well after honing it clean. The valve was polished up and a new O ring fitted, bit of brake fluid and it was sliding nicely. The 5/8" UNF thread had been damaged but running a die down it restored it enough for the handle to screw back in place.












    The tag plate has unfortunately been butchered at some point but the details are all there and the Bigbossman has come to the rescue yet again and is going to print off a new tag face.












    The lever was chrome and it was unusable so I made a new one in stainless round bar.









    The original supplied bracket was for fitting underneath the dashboard but was no good for my use as I need it mounted between the seats, I was going to make a box for it but I kinda like the open bare look so I made a new mounting bracket in stainless that will bolt to the floor.

    I think I was pretty lucky to find it guys, I've been thinking though about converting it to electric as it is around 50 years old and possibly unreliable ???
    My idea is to keep the look but hide a small microswitch inside to work a hidden modern roll control.

    It stopped raining for a while last evening which gave me a chance to weld in my remote oil filter mount. They show just enough to be noticed.

    That's going to be a very cool addition to the Willys.
