My 67 CJ5 build

Just realized I can't apply filler until I weld in the tool box grrr guess I need to decide to fix mine or order a aftermarket

 

I decided on an aftermarket tool box, fitment wasn't too bad




I was going to pre paint inside the tool box area but remembered I had a quart of raptor bed liner left from the last project, so I taped off the flange areas for welding and sprayed that on. Not factory but I figured with the jack and some chains bouncing around in there it would hold up better.

 

This the first time I've seen bed liner applied to a jeep that I thought it was a good idea. The inside of my tool box is beat to hell, bed liner would be perfect.

 

X2 That was an excellent idea.

 

I got the tool box welded in



Also put the gas tank in for fitment. I forgot how little leg room these things have



I need to correct this somehow. The rubber grommet will never fit

 

Could that be a fuel tank intended for a flat fender? Other wise everything looks as great as always!

 

Got that tank from a member here said It was for cj5. Looks like correct tank

 

My replacement tank on my 67 didn't fit too well. IIRC I had to raise the far side to get the neck centered. My 65 had a 1x1 oak board which raised the far side. Don't know if this helps or not.

 

Cleaned up the back of the glove box lid. This is 51 year old empire blue




Looks like spruce tip green when I bring it indoors

 

Tail lights mounted. Getting close

 

Nothing looks better than correct tail lights on the back. It makes a truer picture of the project whether modified or stock.

 

Wanted to take my spot blaster and hit all my welds outside but with 26" of snow outside I made a mess of my shop instead

 

$ 500.00 dollers later but its getting close now



Empire blue ppg code 13205

 

i feel your pain,just ordered black poly for the next three jobs, 1k adios

 

Yeah, but the joy on your dog's face about your purchase is priceless.

 

Thank God she can't talk

 

I told the guy that sold me the paint my plan, another coat of epoxy primer on everything then the high build primer. He told me that the epoxy shouldn't be applied over bondo and to go with just primer.... you ever hear of that ??

 

Did some work on the hood today. All those Catskill NY deer draped over it did it's toll

 

Looks like that jeep fed you well.

 

yes i have. the order i use is starting with metal,epoxy primer,filler of choice,high quality 2k filler primer of choice ,block sand with 220 wet,more 2k primer and more blocking this time with 500wet if smooth 2k topcoat of choice,if mot more 2k primer and more sanding.A guide coat of a contrasting color will help with sanding. i use flat black spray paint for a a guide,a dust after priming shows sanding scratches and dents.
