Default What's your opinion of the world's first Jillys
Like to hear what you think. Once I saw the four door JK, I immediately saw the resemblance to a Willys Wagon. Had an idea and went for it.

Wow...That is really impressive! Nice work! Have you thought about lifting it or anything or sticking to the old fashioned look? Again, very nice!!

That thing looks great! How did you do the grill and the hood? Any close up shots?

I think it would be even better if the grill was a little pointier.

I rather like sticking to the old look so I think a lift might not fit, but when (and if) I ever get the funds I'd like to switch to steel wheels and better tires.

My brother and I cut the hood bump out of a Lincoln, the grill is made from 90 degree stock from Home Depot and the whole assembly was done by Western Paint and Body Works of Calgary Alberta, Canada. Don't know if anyone else in the province could have done such an awesome job.

Most of my pics are too large to post on the web. So I have to work at editing some of them.

The grill had to be the shape it was to help hide the original grill as the gaps needed to line up. If you look close, the original grill is still there just painted black. I wanted the grill to be more upright but again with the slope on the stock grill, having it vertical would give the impression of narrow at the bottom and wide at the top.
