My job finally paid off....

[Darren]

Customers are always trying to give me stupid $#!&, hats, drinks, food, rabbit cages, cats, dogs, TVs, the list goes on and on. But someone finally give me something cool.

 

 

 

I don't really know what I'm going to do with it yet, but I like it. Maybe mount it on the wall and wire up the lights and signals, or maybe it'll just get in my way for a few months before I give it away, who knows?

 

What would you do with it?

[Sir Sam]

What would you do with it?

 

Sell it on craigslist.

[beepbeepmyredjeep]

:idea:

 

Looks to me like you've got a new vehicle to start working on.

 

That's your first part. Start building!!!!

[Automan2164]

Def wall art. Pick up a transformer to put out 12V, and wire up the lights. Maybe put some 110 lamp bulbs in the headlight housings...

 

Cool though.

Rob L. :D

[jpdriver1]

dibs --- that would look too cool on the front of my tractor

[deziped]

Theres gotta be away to shorten that down and widen it to work it into the face of an MJ/XJ.

[Pete M]

I almost had one like that... :(

 

I would have hung it up in the garage. :D

[500 MJ]

What is your job?

 

Me - I would give it to my Dad for his Wily's PU project. :D

 

Pete - FYI - Dad isn't going to go after those parts in Illinois, if you want the grille I am sure its still there...

[streetjeep2.5]

Oh! How could that be attached to a refrigerator about the size of a keg and have a tap coming out with speakers behind the grill and the lights hooked up to a synthesizer so they would .... Oh, forget it! Make it a wall hanging for the garage!

[kastein]

That is more OEM hardware than I've seen left on some buggy builds, I would build a buggy and attach that to the front

[MrFreeze5]

Id horde that b*@$£, but then again I have a 58 Willys Wagon, so it would be a perfectly acceptable part for me to be hording while not attributable to an addiction :D

 

But if you make it wall art, don't damage it!

[Darren]

I'm might be getting something to go with it............. 8)

 

Standby.

[CWLONGSHOT]

I'd put it on the wall as you where thinking.

 

NICE SCORE!!

[tazjeeper]

put it someplace safe. if you do mount it anywhere as mentioned above do not change or damage it. I just sold one from a 59 that was not even in that good of shape for $500.oo bucks....

[terrawombat]

Anyone want to shed some info on the piece? Looks to be from a pre-1950's Willy's Wagon?

Id guess mid to late 40s wagon or pickup. Early 40s had more slots, and the later ones had crossbars, some more some less.

 

Here's my 58 Wagon. This is my favorite grille style of all the Willys years.

I was planning on picking up a 53 Willys truck Monday, but that just fell through. Dammit.
