Looks like they fixed a previous hack by widening the rear fenders to sit over the tires properly then fixed the hacked opening.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Piano hinge the fenders, lol.
Sometimes it's form over function.

Changing to lug bolts from studs and lug nuts solves that issue.
- EM Pretty sure the rim overhangs the brakes by more than there is room between the tire and fender.

That would be a major pita to change the rear wheels on. Yeah, figure on putting it on a lift and dropping the rear axle. Could be worse, try pulling the wheels off the studs on my '50 Olds.

If I jack up my 67 by the rear I cannot get the 8" wheels off of it.. I have to lift it up by the frame....
Not as bad as that willys would be, but I have had to set it back down a couple of times ( when I first got it back on the road) and reset the jack from the rear end to the frame....

It reminds me of a Muscle Machines die-cast my wife has. I personally couldn't cut up a Willys. That's one of those car designs the car company got right the first time. I do salute him building something different.
