Well, there is a pretty sweet V8 Willys donor with mint panels ready to go as a donar Jeep, right?... lol

Many thanks guys.
Going to be similar in build to the truck but with a 300c for the donor. No roof chop or body extension needed this time but will have to wide bodied it 3-4" to get the interior room and fit the HEMI and suspension etc.
I do have the door skins but will be converting it to a coach model.

It should be a pretty sweet ride when you're finished. Widening the body should look pretty good with the current windscreen height.

Will this be a slightly faster build?

Well I hope so but there is no time pressure. I learnt so much with the truck and gained more tools as well as I went along, so all that will add up to time savings.

Comparison between the original photoshop I did back in 2010 verses the final outcome. A useful tool for sure to workout proportions.
Cab B pillar 2.5" wider, doors 4.5" longer, 2" cab chop, 2" pancake of the roof, 3" longer bonnet, 4" longer rear guards, etc.
The olive truck was not mine and just modified a photo found on the internet. Current photo taken by Grant Anthony Findlay of RoadRageMedia.

Love to have some input on passive airflow for the bed of the Truck to vent the fridge. https://youtu.be/Kofxc4w3IZs
