Colin’s friend Al has got a nice collection of Willys.  Colin forwarded a few pics of Al’s jeeps with some notes. Nice looking vehicles Al!

Colin writes, “I attached a photo of a CJ2A [al toy] that I did for a buddy of mine sitting on the hood of his August-built 1945 CJ2A with column shift, rebuilt with a lot of the leftover MB stuff that Willys used to get the first CJs on the road.

Al also has a 47 2WD wagon, a 49 Willys truck and a 49 Jeepster that is undergoing a repowering with a 55 Chrysler 331 Hemi, 727 trans, Mustang II front suspension and 56 Corvette rear end.  Aside from body work and paint, Al does all the work himself and does an excellent job.  The shot of the wagon with whitewall tires is the same wagon.  Amazing what a set of wide whites will do for a car.”
