Those are awesome! Nice work. We've had a Willys torn apart for about 10years now. someday.....

Those look great! I see you’ve done the front bumper differently than my original design and some have only 4 slots in the grills… can I ask why the changes?

You going to make some boys happy, nice job.
The guy across the street from me was redoing a 48 Willis Jeepster, he pasted before completing it. Now it just sitting in his shop going to pot sad.

I have always loved these things. Nice work and design. where do you source your roller blade wheels?

Nor sure why I changed the front bumper but I have 2 sizes of Jeep and the slots got a little to close together in the smaller one. The big one is 9 in.long and the small one is 85% of large.

Well Tom it's not only boys. We have a number of grands and each one gets to choose a size and color. Hence the smaller pink ones. The youngest grand daughter is 4 and had to have a pink one

I get the wheels from Amazon. I've mounted a router on my lathe and put a bunch of wheels on a mandrel to machine the wheels to size. It also gives them a wider flat more realistic tread.

They are pretty cool. Thinking of making one for a buddy who is general foreman at a large sheet metal shop here in town so that he can put his business cards on one for the front office

Those look very nice!!! They will make the little boys and girls smile that's for sure.

[bLouChipBlacksmith]

Outstanding work! Very well done! No weld, amazing.

[plasmanewbie]

Those look awesome. Well done, the kids will love them and they will last forever!

Allan - you've got a tremendous amount of patience to see that project thru! Lot's of tedious work, and your results turned out great.
Very impressive indeed.
