My 67 CJ5 build

Man I've been kicked to the basement

 

John, your cj5 is inspirational. I look forward to seeing what you do with the pickup too!

 

Just got my original CJ seats back from upholster. Nice job

 

Ooooooooohhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! Those look great

 

Wow nice build great looking jeep another wet windy afternoon spent reading 53 pages of a build .glad the pickup thread is not as long or I would have a permanent crick in my neck from being bent over reading.

 

That's some good work, right there.

I like this build.

Back in the sunshine with the original seats back in





Now what to do with my aftermarket seats hmmmm

 

Shmexy!!! Looks amazing

 

Wow that is nice!! Makes me want to recover my stock seats. Right now I have black Gorilla tape to cover the rips and blend in with the black seat

 

That's a classic look John, well done!

 

X2!! Hey John, what’s that little lever behind your gearshift between the tank and the toolbox compartment?

 

PTO for winch

 

Gotcha, should have known that. Looks great John!

 

Nice ride.

 

Soooo nice! Especially considering the condition it was in. Theres hope for mine yet!

 

John, I have a question for you.

I just got the original front seats from my '67 reupholstered, and I'm happy to say that they turned out very similarly to yours.

My question is about your back seat. Was it reupholstered to match its original pattern?

I don't have an original period rear seat for my '67. However, I do have a rear seat from a later CJ that I plan to have reupholstered to match the original late '60's rear seat pattern as closely as possible.

If the reupholstered patterning on yours is true to the original upholstery pattern, these photos of yours are probably the best example I have to work from.

Thanks very much, John!

Yes. He matched everything to my original seat upholstery. He even measured the width of the pleats to get it right
