    47 Willys Body on a 67 Commando frame with a 225 ci V6.

    Well I would upload more pics but says my quota full..

    I got the 225 painted today went with GM Red/Orange only thing LPS had in stock. painted tranny and T-case the same color. found a replacement G2 Rochester carb for it ordered rebuild kit for tommorow will fire it up in the morning. Will be painting frame with a rattle can frame Black that I found for $1.25 a can might take 4 - 5 cans. Then will be ready to put on the body.

    will add pics when I can!

    Really like to see that. Are you going to shorten the Jeepster frame or stretch the body?

    The Jeepster frame I am useing is a 104 wheelbase Commando. the exact frame that was used on the 47 -49 Willys only the body mounts and engine setup is different. and sorry about the scare I will never own any auto that is Electric.... That even scars me... pull into a gas stations and ask for a plug????? a plug for what!...???
