I need to make a criticism. Your workshop is too beautiful and clean, and the Jeep memorabilia is way too cool.

My motto has always been: To try where there is little hope is to risk failure, not the try at all is the guarantee it.

Did a bit of a video update.

Had to do a quick test fit to check proportions. I have made the top roll 51mm, 2", which is bigger than stock but think the same as when this style is used on Dodge and Chevy pickups. At the moment it looks too slab sided and the roll top heavy.


With the stock Willys rear guard in place it looks much better. The roll suddenly looks in proportion to the sides of the guards which is what I was hoping for.


By the time the stake pockets are made and fitted front and rear, and maybe in the middle as well like the stock Willys, it will take away the slab sided look even more. Also the skirts which step out from the bottom and go to the bottom level of the cab will improve it.

Was actually wondering how it would look with the flat sides, but once the guard is in place it looks good.

Was going to run a stepped bead around the perimeter first until I actually saw it done and didn't think it needs to be that busy.
