Hey everybody! I知 new to the forum and am excited about all things Jeep. I have wanted to restore an old willys Jeep for a long time. I cut my teeth restoring a 1968 Chevy short bed truck and found that I enjoyed the challenge. I recently bought a 1951 Cj3a with a frame of restoration in mind. It was a real basket case but the bones were there and I felt like it was a job I could handle. As of now I have the old girl torn down to the frame and have had it sand blasted and painted. The engine needed to be rebuilt so I found another engine already rebuilt and got it for a song. So far I have painted the engine and all of its add ons. I wanted to paint it the original Luzon red but could not find a paint specialist who cold match the old paint codes, so I matched it as best as I could but the engine came out as a pink plum color.it doesn稚 look bad it痴 just not what I wanted. So if anybody out there know the modern paint code to Luzon red or knows where I can find either the code or paint be sure to let know. Many thanks in advance. The next stage is the differential rebuilds. They are a little above my skill set so I will be sending them out to be to be worked on. In the mean time I have begun researching transfer cases and transmissions. Thanks averybody for the educational videos. I知 still learning but I think I can handle the rebuilds myself. We値l see. I知 also wrestling with the decision wether to add a overdrive or not. Does the benefits out way the cost? If anybody has any insights I would appreciate them.well that brings you up to speed on my project. Thanks again for any help you might provide. Good night from the river valley ( border between Arkansas and Oklahoma)
