Stitch Welding

• CATEGORIES: How To This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Someday, I look forward to learning how to weld better; I’d especially like to work with MIG and work on my TIG (I actually have a rudimentary setup, but haven’t done much with it yet).  So, I’d hardly classify myself as a welding expert (though with two pieces of clean metal I can make a pretty nice stick bead).

Until, if ever, I master welding, here are a couple threads that discuss welding sheet metal together for body repair. If you have any other great, helpful threads, let me know and I’ll add them here.

1949 CJ-3A (Lefty?) Richfield, Mn $1200

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Brett spotted this potential deal. If this runs, it’s a steal.  This could be a 1947 Lefty CJ-2A that was accidentally titled as a CJ-3A (the CJ-2A page forums mention this happening a few times).  That said, just to confuse us a little more,  it almost looks like a front bow holder sits just above the gas inlet.

Some T-Shirt Ideas

• CATEGORIES: News This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I have some t-shirt ideas and thought I’d see what you all thought about them.  I’m trying to create a different kind of willys t-shirt.    The “Africa” shirt would be one of a series of “WWII” vehicles.
