Default Jeepney builder in Port Angeles, WA

Hi, Steve Veltkamp here from Port Angeles, WA. I purchased a 1963 Willys Wagon in December of 2011, and am in the process of converting it into a jeepney. For those not familiar, jeepneys were converted from WW2 military jeeps by Filipinos into wildly decorated people carriers. I fell in love with them when I was in the Navy going to the Philippines, and have always wanted one. Too hard and expensive to import, so I'm building one!

I've never done any metal work before, so this all a new experience for me!
