My 67 CJ5 build

Can you give more detail on the side mounted tire? Assembly/parts used to make that happen?

 

You basically need one of these...

Spare Tire Carrier Generic CJ Models 1945-1971

There should be four threaded mounting holes in your tub where it mounts. There is also the elusive "mushroom bolt" that helps stabilize the tire, you can read about that a little further back in John's thread.

My 67 CJ5 build

 

Started some work on the original grill.. now I remember when this happened. My father was pulling out my brothers stuck van sooo he asked me to hook the chain on something solid lol needless to say he wasn't amused. I find it ironic I'm working on this 38 yrs later to fix it.



Some relief cuts and welding



I'll try to mold the shape with some glass

 

Good job that's a tuff spot to work in. Is the paint O.E.M. jeep color.Looks really nice.

 

Empire blue. It's the original color

 

One more thing to check off the list



Next week this hurdle. Fixing the windshield frame

 

I’m sure somebody on here has a frame that is rusted out on the left side.

 

Yup got it already

 

So this is what I'm dealing with



This is the donor pc I got here



After stripping off all the real bad spots on the donor pc this is what I'm left with





I think I need to re evaluate this. I would have to fabricate most of it. Any thoughts ?

Shelly has no opinion

 

I am with the dog, tough to find a good window.

 

The rectangle upright piece looks better on the donor. We’ve all watched how well you do with sheet metal.

 

I was afraid you were going to say that

 

All choked up

 

Where did find the mushroom bolt?
Fantastic build btw!

 

It just that the head is wider than a standard carriage bolt...

 

I had to pry it out of Fockers cold dead fingers
