You can get USA made panels from me anytime that are about the same cost as the overseas junk that all dealers are selling. I am working on a CJ3A right now so keep watching as I make some panels to fix it.

I have built many complete tubs over the past 30 years, for customers who wanted a quality built vehicle. I have had many hundreds of Willys pass thru my doors for simple work or complete restorations.

Tai-Chong Honokaupu It depends on the original vehicle condition. I always start with a donor vehicle when building a new tub and reuse as much as I can during the rebuild. As you will see in the later videos I always try to save original cowl and firewall. Every vehicle restoration has a different price based on many factors.

I put gauge holes in with chassis punches and then carefully file in the notch in the bottom of each hole. I lay the cluster out carefully first based on the original dimensions and then punch the holes.

ok.I live in hawaii and everything rusts even humans lol

Do you own a Willys jeep at this time? All that salt air must be a real problem on anything made of metal.
