    Hey Everyone, I'm Joe. I have a 59 CJ5 I'm starting to restore.

    Glad to be in this forum and looking forward to hearing from all of you.
    I'm a carpenter by trade and do some woodworking. I recently started using a CNC router, and a CNC laser engraver. Hoping to make some neat Willys/Jeep things.
    My project is a 1959 CJ5 that spent its life in Colorado until 2020 when I brought it home to Michigan.
    Previous owners swapped the engine to a Dauntless V6. I have to clean up a few loose ends to get it roadworthy, but as of a week ago, I got it far enough to drive it around my property.
    It's been about 25 or so years since I've owned a Jeep and I can't wait to get going on this one.
    So far it's been a pleasure to work on since for the first time in my life, I don't have to have it running and driving for work in the morning. I like being able to walk away from it for awhile when I start getting frustrated.
    Almost no rust on it, and what there is, is only surface rust. Looking forward to driving it to local car shows next spring and summer.
