    Ahoy all, Steve Veltkamp from Port Angeles. Picked up 1963 Willys Wagon for a conversion project at the beginning of December - I'll update as there are things to tell. Right now just in rust control mode....

    :Welcome:to the forum. One thing most of us members ask for---demand--are pictures. By the way is there really a "rust control" mode? :49:

    Rust always a problem but replacement parts for the willys are avaiable . I have had my willys about 6 years and it still earns its keep and plows my driveway when it snows.

    Funny...I read that highligted part in the original post as "rust control module...."

    Wouldn't that be a kick....."Sir, would you like us to add a rust control module to your new car for only $1,295?"


    Anyways, Welcome, Steve!

    Damn...fell for it again...a 6 six year old thread revived. I was reading along and my stomach rolled when I saw Silverfox's post.
