1955 Willys CJ3b

The body is a 1955 OEM Willys replacement body--not a reproduction. When I purchased the body the previous owner made a cut out in the dash and then welded it back in--see the pics. The gas fill hole has been filled in similarly (I have the insert). There a couple of other places were small cuts were made and then the original sheet metal was welded back in. All of these 'repairs' are minor and cosmetic only. I expect it will take minimal body work to finish. The body has never seen pavement--several of the mounting points have yet to be drilled. No rust whatsoever. The frame is brand new by Matkis: fully boxed 2"x5" 3/16 with 1/4 plating in places and 3/8" front bumper (allpowder coated). Winch mount built into frame. Custom leaf springs 18" longer than stock for soft ride and flex.
