    No I found some 3/16 thick steel replacement corners at 4wd. I believe they said they were from roughcountry. They were for a TJ, but they matched the corner nicely, all I have left to do is cut off the excess hanging down and finish off the wheel well curve, and the right side is done. Then just repeat on the driver side.

    But, the side body replacement panels, I did make those from scratch. the jig used is shown on my photobucket page. under 1965 willys rebuild

    I saw the plans listed on this site. and thought, well I've already got one stand I'll just get another. Right after I got the second one put together, I realized why they built one from scratch, engine stands aren't tall enough to allow the body to fully rotate. So after minor mods, you can see the results. nice thing is, when I'm done, both engine stand are left in original condition, and usable.
