Hi Marcos - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

How is the Willys restoration going? We'd love to see some pics.

Not going very well Jon, actually I had to paralyze because I moved from city to an apartment, and the Jeep was in the old house . It is partially disassembled , and I intend to return to work next year , on weekends .
The Jeep is a CJ5 , made in Brazil by Willys Overland extinct (acquired by Ford) , differs little from CJ5 made at the time in the USA , the main difference is the engine, a 6-cylinder Hurricane ( BF 161).
I will look for an old photos and then put here ,

Regards,

Good to hear you'll be returning to the Jeep. It has made it 55 years since it was manufactured, so I'm sure it can sit another. Looking forward to the pics!
