Paul really seems serious about finishing his jeep! Below he shares photos and updates:
All sidewall and top upholstery panels have been installed so I began cutting foam for the front seats.
Still waiting on the carpet for the rear wheel well tops, the rear floor and the front seat footwell areas.
Here you’re looking at the rear window panel and the left rear wheel well. I think the gray fabric and the stainless steel look pretty good together.
I’m looking forward to getting the seats upholstered. The gray and blue seat colors should add a bit of color to the interior.
Front seats reinstalled, the foam is rough cut and the combination of thick foam for the bottom and thin foam for the back will allow enough room for me to reach all of the controls and still see out the windshield. The side windows are another matter. I should have Sumo-sized my Willys.
I don’t remember ever publishing these two ads.

Last year one of these was sold in segments. I bought one of those segments and I’ve seen some of the others. It’s a rare, pretty interesting book.

I Noticed a Few Sections Missing ,,IE Wrecker , PTO Equipment , Sprayers ,Maybe Those Sections Went To Different Dealers.”
Here’s a neat vintage pin. No idea how old it is. Anyone know?
Naturally she’s driving a GPW. While Willys produced their jeeps in Toledo, Ford produced there jeeps at multiple locations, including Richmond, California.
