I'm asking around $2,500 for it right now... it doesn't look all that bad, but fresh paint might help it go away. I won't need it any more as I expect the '58 Willys to haul my trailer because it has low gearing and most likely a 250 I-6 Chevy with a manual transmission... we'll see... I'm going to paint the Willys so it has that wood look to the sides, leaving it green. Will fix all surface rust and rust through (in a few places). Will detail it out nicely and then sell it once SuperDawg is done... who knows when that will happen... :) we're approaching the 4th anniversay of his dismantling... john ---- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** http://wagoneers.com ** ** http://freegift.net ** Snohomish, Washington USA - where Jeeps don't rust, they mold. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ End of fsj-digest V1 #2363 **************************
