    New guy with a '59 CJ5

    New guy to the forum. This is a great site. I've got a '59 CJ5 that's been in our family since my grandfather bought it new. It was his hunting rig and my mom drove it in high school. I learned to drive a stick in this jeep when I was a kid in the early 70's. It's been sitting in the barn for the past 20 yrs, rarely getting driven. I'm now it's caretaker. My plan is to bring it back to it's former glory. I'm currently getting it disassembled so I can remove the tub. It's got a few rust spots that need to be addressed. I just built a 30x40 shop so I now have a decent place to work. I'll try to update as I go. Here are a few pics. The first in from the late 70's and the second in it's current state. Not sure why the pic is sideways.
