1962 CJ5 Michaels Project

Now I do

 

thanks i dont know this new software but it is very basic

 

Just n update . I got the firewall painted and cowl support fitted . pictures to come

 

Nothing really happening . I had hand surgery on 12/2 . ordered brake hoses and diff cover gaskets . trying to get stuff under the tub taken care of so i can put it bake on the frame and put the hard top on for the winter .

 

no more birds nest

 

5:38 D 44 napa said this is not the stock rear end . It had a different cover gasket .The smaller one

 

Pic off rear diff.

 

Took the wrong diff. gasket back to napa . They had the right one in stock!!!!!!! I Am trying to get as much stuff done under the body as i can . Brake hose , diff. gasket , diff. oil, and wiring .

 

You are doing a great job. It is like a preview for me of what is to come on mine especially with the floor and front support. I recently had an MRI and the techician asked if I had ever done anything that might possibly have exposed my eyes to metal shavings. I had to answer "not today".

 

I know about the metal in my eyes to! I had to get a piece removed a couple months ago . not nice having a pair of tweezers going to your eyeball! thanks for the words fesser . It is far from perfect and stock ! But it is solid as a rock!!!!!!

 

Had a good day . I got rear diff cover back on, changed the rear brake hose ,fixed brakelines and ran the wire to the back. The 1 thing that went wrong is the diff cover bolt that snaped !!! Tap and die ! My son even helped bleed the brakes !!!! All i heard from him is when can we put the body On!!!

 

brake line and new wires

 

broken bolt !!!!!!

 

new brake hose

 

No shavings !!!!!

 

Just got back from Virginia . Hopefully start working on it tuesday.

 

You are doing a fine job rebuilding the Jeep. Keep it up. You are making me want to build another one.

 

Thanks Rusty

 

Got the broken bolt out ! Thank god easy out worked . Also ran some new wires for the tail lights . We put the body back on the frame today ! So far it looks to be good . Not hitting the master cylinder , looks to line up . We also put the top on . Now it looks like a DJ!!!!!!! hmmmmm Pics to come. I am tired ,my son tried to work me to death .
