1963 CJ5 build

I replaced floor, built tranny tunnel, and completed wheelhouse notch.

 

I also made some side panels.

 

Great looking progress David. What drivetrain do you plan to use?

 

I have swapped in an sm 420

 

Here is my tub after paint and an application of Raptor bedliner.

 

Looks good. This is gonna be a great post to go back to. I'm doing the same with mine. Are those 33" tires? Also I kinda question the angle of the front shackles. Is the angle just due to zero weight? Due you have more pics of the underside of the tub when you welded in the floor?

 

On page 1 the tires are 33's on page 2 they are 35" Baja Claws As for the shackles there is no weight on them in the photos. When I welded out the hangers, i set the Jeep up with all the weight where it belonged. That way I could get my angles where I wanted them.

 

I would like to add, that I used the Raptor Bedliner. I got it and the spray gun for $123 at Amazon.com It came out really nice and appears to be a nice product. Very easy to apply.

 

Ok. Maybe the 4" is more than I wanted. I can see an investment in levi's getting in and out now.

 

you have to consider that these springs have not settled yet, and there is no weight on them.
