1955 CJ5 Restoration

any recent progress? i want to see a finished running car

 

Update: The wiring Harness is going in.

 

I like it. The white is good for Florida.

 

any updates

 

Finally got her on the road a couple weeks ago. She is driving great. There has been a couple minor problems but other than that she is running as if new.
Im going to replace the tierod ends. The wheels were wobbling really bad but have since toned down a bit. We tightened the bell crank but it hasnt been solved completely.

The role bar is getting some metal welded on and then put in. Also the towbar is getting out back on.

i have been watching this build as it appeared that you were doing a good job and wanted to see the final result. i am doing a wagon 1951 and starting on a 61 cj-5 for one of my kids. when are we going to see the final completed project.

 

Are you going to keep the Aris Foglights on it?

This build is looking good!

 

Yes the foglights are staying. They are wired and i added an extra switch in the dash for them

 

Nice! I've never seen another pair of those Aris Flamethrowers before.

 

Update: I finally had the Jeep shipped up to Tallahassee. Jeep has been driving great. Ive been driving it short distances daily. It is definately a head turner.
I have a bikini top on but i like it better without the top.

 

It is pretty. Time to update your avatar photo with the "after" version.

 

nice........................

 

i have followed this build from the start. wow. what a result. was this your first? any plans do do another?

 

beautiful work you did there, just got done reading the whole build.

 

I love that color!

 

Nice!

 

Thanks for all the comments. The Willys has been driving great. It is very enjoyable to drive.

 

Have you done another one
