The antique/classic car market prices have been taking off the past few years, those old wheels would be in demand.

Get well so you can get back working on that Jeep. I’m waiting for the weather to break to start working on mine again.

Right before the internal plumbing blowout, I was trying to line up some body parts for my Willys jeep.

It will be a long time before I can lift much of anything. The budget gets me with the bills and some supplies I buy.

My Willys number one problem is the body tub. It’s in at best fair condition. There would be a lot of welding and patchwork the powder coat crowd will have to do. I can live with a few flaws here and there.

Eventually, I’ll get them out to it for an estimate.

There are those aftermarket kits. I’ve seen one and they are cheap looking and feeling. Almost a Harbor Frieght type thing. Most take a fair amount of fixing.

There is the pricey option. A place in Ohio buys those bodies and gets them ready. Those are about double.

All of that is for some day.
