Firewall Progress

• CATEGORIES: Features • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

The warming weather has got me busy, but I was still able to get some progress on the firewall covers. Between a small sledge hammer and my big vice, I was able to bend the steel into shape.

Here are my templates.

Here’s an example of the steel. I was able to cut this out using my plasma cutter (Yeswelder 55DS). It was my first attempt at using it, but it worked pretty well.

Here’s it after bending.

The tabs need some adjusting.  Otherwise ,these two covers should work fine.

This article popped up in a Fall 1942 issue of College Humor. I was able to find a copy on eBAY. As you can see, this features a Ford GP.  We’ve seen a few of these pics in other magazines.

“This 1967 Jeep CJ-5 is finished in white over black vinyl upholstery and powered by a 225ci Dauntless V6 mated to a three-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. It is equipped with a black soft top and doors, along with a roll bar, a Badlands winch, a spare tire carrier, a Hi-Lift jack, 16″ steel wheels, Warn manually locking front hubs, and a K&N air filter. The truck was acquired by the seller in November 2021, and subsequent work reportedly included rebuilding the cylinders heads and a valve job in addition to a refresh of the steering system and replacement of the water pump, fuel pump, and carburetor. This CJ-5 is now offered at no reserve with owner’s and service manuals, partial service records, and a clean Oregon title in the seller’s name.”

“This is a 1956 willys Jeep. Civilian variant of the M38A1 military Jeep. It’s a southern Jeep with a TN title. No mileage on the title because it’s exempt. The cluster has 8k on it. Car starts up runs and drives. Just tuned up with a new carburetor. Tub is steel and is mint with no rust. Frame is also immaculate and had been completely under coated. We have been using it as a beach cruiser. Car has a little Bimini top for the summer. Powered by the original 4cyl. 134cid/70hp 1bbl. Front axle is a Dana 25 and the rear axle is a Dana 44. Tranny is a T90 3 speed. Not trying to field a million questions come look at it. Cash in hand for a ride. Needs some love but not much”

“Not a wrangler but I had to pick something Two(2) Willys 1st is a 1956 with title. Runs and drives 4×4 works. I bought it with a 1952 motor in it. Put a new clutch in it and have drove it around the farm. Have the motor that came out of it on an engine stand just the way I bought it. He said it ran but was making noise so he swapped it for the 52. 2nd Willys I believe is a 1953. Motor was set up . I tore it apart to rebuild but the block had been cracked so I did not bother. Body is poor. No title. $4000 Take it all. I lost interest .”

“1948 willys cj2-a This is a fun jeep to drive, it runs and drives down the road great and has a clean title. The fourwheel drive works as it should and it has been converted to 12volt system. Had plans to restore this jeep but have too many projects and not enough time. Its a good jeep to drive around the way it is or do a full restore and take it to car shows and parades”
