My first vehicle! 1956 CJ5

[56willys]

Wednesday I got u bolts, lower shock plates and new shocks installed. And finished installing the rear bumber.

Then today I got the brake pedal in place, I need another washer then the clutch can get assembled. Then i greased up the rear hubs and got them reassembled, and i asked dad about an adapter to use a ½" torque wrench, and he walks to the toolbox and hands me one! (You learn something new everday , i honestly didnt know we had and adapter)

And then this crazy thing happened, the tub got placed on the frame for the last time!!! I got some thick heavy duty rubber from a friend and cut some bushings, got it squared up and a couple bolts in place. So now starts the million little things that need buttoned up. I think driving to the car show on Sunday may be possible.

Get it to that car show 56", if its running take her out. It doesn't have to be finished that's for sure.

It sounds like someone might have slipped in a clutch shaft from another vehicle in there.
