Made a hitch cover from the stainless sheet that I cut strips from and tig welded together. I made it smaller so I could add rubber strips to stop it rattling once in place.


I first tried one of the body tags that I had that were on some of the early models like mine.


Looks alright but the brass didn't fit in with anything else.


Think is a bit more low key and celebrates the 75 years of Jeep from 1941-2016. Goes with the theme of the old and new Jeep heritage that makes up my project.


Stands out less which I like and may even paint the stainless body colour when the time comes to tone it down some more.

Got to start somewhere. I didn't have most either when I started this and learnt and slowly got the tools I needed as I went along. Just hoped it would all work out!

That is something I always had, or OCD and stubbornness.

Have the original 1948 Willys Truck tailgate mocked into position. Not sure now if to modify this to suit or build something simpler? With all the details in the lower panels its looking a bit busy? I still want it set inwards with a roll top and bottom, but then maybe with just a simple step like around the taillights and doors etc in from the edge? Or one without the I pressings each side would tone it down and just have the WO?


Maybe a plain tailgate skin between the top and bottom rolls and the pre-war type pressing with the smaller WO and the three beads each side like in the middle of my sign?


When I mean step around the edge, I mean like this but not flush to the front.
