        Mikey,I thought perhaps you gave him a ride down the 1/4 in ‘Pappa’s Toy’, and this is how he looked, after he got out of your Willys !!! 😮 😮 😮 🙄 🙄 🙄 😆

                                        I want to 2nd that motion Mikey said. I know we ‘busted’ you a bit ‘Mater’, however, we certainly appreciate all the ‘step by step’ proceedures,and photos you put on the forum for us to review,during the assembly. I used to look forward to both Tom’s 55 build,and of course,Mikey’s Willys, almost on a daily basis. To make a comparison,it’s like women who get hooked on those daily soap operas on t.v. ,that can’t wait to see what happens in tomorrow’s episode! Best of luck to you guys from this point on,and hey, enjoy the ‘fruits of your labor’!!!! P.S. The video was terrific, even V Bob would agree! Thanks a lot guys!!!! 😉 😀 Pete.
