    Looking good! With this progress, there isn't any reason that you wouldn't be out and about by fall.

    The tank looks great Mike! I was wondering how your shop would do. The patina is just right for your project. Don't forget there's rubber cushions under the tank.

    Thanks gents! And yes, I ordered the felt strip kits and the rubber seals as well. TBH until I watched a G503 tank install video I had no idea there were rubber seals too! Thank goodness for the internet, ha!

    You might come close, but GMWillys' "Heep" is the standard for patina.

    Here's his Album https://willysjeepforum.kaiserwillys.com/album.php?u=3486

    Here's his post on the "Heep" https://willysjeepforum.kaiserwillys...-Runner/page15

    I think his "Heep" is completely void of any paint whatsoever! It is plain steel, like a Delorian. gm will get a picture of it in here soon. There are some shots of it somewhere.

    Oh, Bmorgil, you got me thinking with that DeLorean reference.

    A willys with gull-wing doors!!! The only problem is getting it to 88 mph!

    In gm's "DeLorean Willys" you only need to sit in it to go back in time!

    "DeLorean Willys" Ha ha ha, 44 mph instead of 88 mph for time travel... Thank you all for the kind words.
