Hey everyone,
I'm using a '66 CJ-5 that I had intended to flip as a base for an M38A1 "tribute", as a friend gave me an A1 grille for it. It'll be a wheeling rig for me, and if it gets smashed up, I't will just be a CJ in reality. That said, I'm doing almost everything I can to make it a faithful reproduction, but I think I will be keeping the tailgate and "Jeep" script on the sides. I'm planning on posting the things I do to convert it, all the military hardware, but none of the driveline, steering and brakes rebuilding unless people think I should, I know I'll be rebuilding the Dana 18. Here's what I'm starting with, hopefully it'll be entertaining for everyone!
