1949 Willys Pickup Project Part 7

I clean up my frame by stripping the parts off, wire wheeling, rust treating and paint.

It's looking great!

Thanks! Cleaning up that frame kicked my butt. I didn't show all the crawling under and hours at the wire wheel. I'm glad it's done now.

Fantastic job Tim! 😁👍 I always enjoy the stop motion footage as well. I know that would take a while to film. Nice to see you give Chris at WD a shoutout! 🔧 I like his videos too 😁👍

Thanks Zane! Stop motion does slow down the work on a project, but it's fun to include the footage occasionally.

Thanks for the video's toolman. I'm gonna start tearing down my '49 truck this next winter. Nice seeing what I'm about to get into. Got linked to your videos through the old willy's forum. Pics are always nice but the videos are fantastic!
Interested to see on your next video if you are going with new brake lines are you going to bend them yourself? Stainless? I can't find anyone who sells pre-bent lines. Prebent lines make life much easier!

I knew this was going to be a big, long-term project, so I'm recording as much of the process as I can. I'm glad you're enjoying them.
My next video will actually be related to installing a new 12v alternator as part of my 6v to 12v conversion. When I get going on the brake lines I will be making my own. The prebent ones are pretty expensive, so I decided to take a crack at it myself. I'll be using copper nickle lines. You can buy it by the coil and it bends pretty easy. We'll see if that was a wise choice down the line.
