Thanks Constantine and Bill for showing interest in my little models.
To the weekend I will make an ldraw picture explaining the fender mounting
(2x1 panel + 1x1 corner panel fixed to a 1x3 plate mounted on the side of a
1x2 technic brick with 2 holes)
Bill you liked the girl jeep with a larger engine under the hood. It is also
the favourite among the females at my work. Horse-power impress :-)
Otherwise the hood should be kept low and flat to be true to the original
Willys Jeep as Constantine mentions. I will test to add lamps, and try to
make some more colour schemes.

For some reason I was stuck on using the 1x2 brick with tilt top! Thanks for
the hint, but I find that placing the panels a plate lower brings them in line
with the headlights rather than above them and have found the effect congenial
while not deviating too far from the low, flat look. If you have the chance,
the new Orient Expedition sets offer parts to pursue the model in dark gray
(windshield base, plate with clip light, car body).

Hi
For those of you interested to build the Willys Jeep I have now put up Ldraw
instructions of the model on Bricklink
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=32210

Thank you for your effort, Mattias. Interesting that I have the same wheelbase
but that one extra plate of height, and one studs' worth less length at the
back, should make a difference.

Fine pictures Constantine
I like the shorter back. I think its more true to the original.
