You'd get way more thumbs up in the Jeep then Jungle Pam on the staging lane.

Spectacular work there. I can see why Jay Leno had them do work for him.

I wish I did get photos of the front frame graph on the Heep. It would have been good content, but that was long before I knew that there was a forum to share on. The first two photos are the...

That 47 was completely trashed. The middle section of the frame was rotten. I salvaged the front frame rails and welded them in to our Heep, plus a plethora of good parts, the best being the grill...

It definitely helps to pick up parts donors.

The goat story rides again! It's about time!

We do go to great lengths to find parts, that's for sure. Not all new parts are junk, but with Chrysler/Fiat owning the licensing for...

I installed some Crown brand of wheel cylinders and master cylinder on our 2A, and the only issue I had was that the wheel cylinder mount holes didn't come close to lining up with the backer plate. ...

Well, that's a pleasant surprise.... Hopefully it shows up then. I bought a rear seat from Dead Jeeps for the YJ, and the tracking provided kept saying it was to be delivered on such and such a day,...

I'm just lucky, the wife doesn't mind if I drag things home.

Like Bmorgil said, this seems to be a disturbing trend for brake systems. There are no American made brake manufactures left. ...

56Willys looks to be right on the money. With the marker lights it appears to be a '47 or '48 2A. The earlier '46s had inset bullet marker lamp assemblies versus the bulb socket and lens. One more...

As far as the windshield for a CJ5, there isn't too much issue with the windshield fitment, except maybe the cowl gasket may be a little too thick. Often times you may have to apply pressure with a...

My bride makes sure I can hear what she has to say regardless, especially during the weather forecast on the news. She does like the whine of the Heep I, and Heep III. She's never heard Heep II...

No radio needed with the whine of the 134.

Looking good!

I harp on using original steel where you can, and this is a prime example.

Looking great!

Looking good Catlewis. The Epoxy primer isn't as heat affected as other primers. A drill point just touching the steel underneath is enough to secure a good surface to weld to. I use weld through...

You'll have a an easier time of getting everything matched up.

It does look really good. I don't have a real good set of advice on the fading of the new paint to match the old. I've seen some do it on You Tube, and they made their tailgate match fairly well;
...

I've been experimenting with protective coats on our 2A, since it is bare metal. I've tried several items on the market recommended by the rat rod crowd, like Shark Hyde, but I believe I get better...

Well done Catlewis. She's coming along nicely.

Yep, don't waste to what you can use for sure!

The rear floor turned out pretty darn good. The donor vehicle must have been pretty nice. The quarter panel turned out great!

The rear drive shaft is a good idea, because you would be spinning the transmission in neutral, so all of the internals would not be getting adequate lubrication. On the newer YJ and up Jeep...

The aftermarket fenders are for a newer CJ5 with the marker light but will fit your application no problem. As some have said, I'm a stickler for fixing the originals. I do understand that you are...
