    1954 Willy's Jeep Restoration Planning

    Gentlemen,
    Around November/December I will be acquiring a 1954 CJ-3B Jeep Willy's to restore. I would like some recommendations. I intend to do a frame up restoration, but would love any advice or guidance as I go through this project. Attached are pics of the Jeep as is, the engine runs, but smokes badly, so will need to do an engine rebuild as it is the original engine. I also intend on removing the tub from the frame and need ideas of how to accomplish this and the difficulty level of removing it. I have already started a list of all rebuild kits I will need on Kaiser's website and have an approximate cost for all kits. There is no deep rust, only some minor surface rust, so body work should be minimal. I would also like suggestions on keeping it original, versus doing some mods, such as power steering pump, leaf over and anything like that.
