It does look trick. Seeing what you've done with yours makes me want to try my hand at an old Willy that I have a line on.

I totally agree with Willynilly. It could even become the theme of the machine. I was looking at an old Willy and you'res seems to have the round part of the gille on a little more of an ecentric. Tooooo coooool.

putting the shock mount on the steering arm isnt gonna cause irratic steering? Will be interesting to see when its all done. Definetly looking good.

I came up with the idea from others who are doing the same with no ill affects. I spent alot of time making sure the mounts are dead center over the king pin!
