Thanks mate, It would of been just as much work in steel or aluminium so i figured stainless would look the best and it didn't cost anything as it all came from my offcut bin.

I can see myself............. Firewall looks super. I didn't realize how tall those were at the firewall. Frame work doesn't look too shabby either. Can't wait to see what goodies you will create for this one.

Yes very nice mirror you have installed up front .

Willys look so tight in the engine compartment when all buttoned up, but they really do have quite a tall and wide firewall area, don't they? That ss firewall looks superb, Steve. What kind of rivets are you going to use? Do they make them in stainless and if so, how hard are they to buck?

Don

Remember Don my motor is mounted lower, but yes they are a tall firewall.
Yep the rivets will be stainless, they are hard to buck and i want them polished so if it turns out to be to hard to do i will weld them in from the inside.

Any news on your projects ???

Thanks mate, not too many hand made bits for this one but a few might pop up no and then

Not your fault Steve, sometimes the car just demands some of those goodies!!!! Heck, my '57 is always telling me what I have to build for it!

Absolutely Dave, i think hand built bits sometimes just don't look right on a car your trying to make look old like they were back in the day.

I think the stainless theme is a secret ploy to blind the unknowing fellow racer who takes the bait, then the hydrolics come to life exposing the bright firewall and chasis parts, blinding the competition....ah the ultimate sleeper!
