1963 CJ5... in a million pieces.

Thanks, I have spent many an hour at college perfecting my skills.

Body is back on!!!! for the moment at least..


jayhawkclint-
Here is the shot you were looking for.


EDIT: My measurement from the other tub was off for the second mount on the passenger side by about 2in.. So ill have to add a little hat channel extention, no biggie.

 

You are doing a great job. I can only hope mine will be 1/4 as good as this.

 

Thank you sir, were workin with what we've got..

I make it down to Stillwater occasionally, my grandmother lives in Sapulpa and my grandfather graduated from OSU when he returned from the war. So I was raised a cowboy fan

 

Try to make it for the Little Sahara spring ride:

Thanks, Greg, that's going to help me out quite a bit.

 

No problem, just LMK if you need some more/diff angles.

Today I got the body positioned where I wanted it and reamed / redrilled some of the holes.
We got a poly bushing kit from Enegry Suspension and I picked up some 1/2" Grade 8's from the home depot.

Making sure the front end still fits like it should..


Tossed the windshield on for kicks, forgot how tall this this thing actually is.. its been disassembled since fall 07..



That's all for today.

 

You couldn't possibly tell me what type of suspension and tire size you are running could you? I love the stance of this jeep...
:v6:

Were more or less OK on parts right now, the list seems to be growing exponentially lately..

Sounds good, Ill give you a call in the next couple days.

Well I took that photo in panorama mode on my camera just messing around, I think it makes it look taller than it is. But to answer your question the tires are 31x10.50 and the lift I'm not sure of the height or brand because it was on the jeep when I got it.
Also their is no drivetrain in the jeep, so I'm guessing it will settle out 1.5-2"..

 

Brake lines are in, I need one more 3ft stick to finish the front.
But the back is done and the body is back on for the moment.

 

Getting the last brake line made today, also this came yesterday.


Fort Wayne Clutch and Driveline rocks! They even made a custom clutch alignment tool for me.

Drivetrain to be installed shortly..

 

Drive train is in!! mostly..

Tomorrow ill work on the over drive linkage and getting the x member in.
