3/2012 Been driving for several years now.. Decided it's time to get the old tub fixed. Took it off the pallet and removed all the little crap that was left on it when I shelved it. Heading to the sandblaster soon. Starting to get enthusiastic about redoing this tub. Looking forward to replacing the MDJuan body with the original Willys Body again.
