Yep, Bought A '68 Cj5(project)

#1 ?





or #2? Not sure if this will fit my rim, but it's flashy

 

I got my windshield an hour ago, It went in much easier than my brothers '62~

1968-1975 Jeep CJ5 CJ6 CJ Front Windshield Glass with Gasket Molding Kit | eBay

 

Got the wheels back from the sandblasters, I thought they were painted at first! After loading, he told me that they also do power coating. Figures, I didn't ask how much, but I'm set up to do what I'm going to do with them.
Perfect place to paint wheels, and they stands they're on spin easily epoxy, paint, the matte clear.
these are 9" wide



This one wheel is at least 1 or more inches narrower~ I don't know if I should use it, or use it as a spare? just with a smaller tire? 8" wide

 

^^Obviously it would work as a spare.... Although my OCD would kill me that I did not have 5 of the exact same spec.

 

my thoughts exactly!

 

Hi Dne'... looking at page 37 of your build (previous page) I notice your 7 or 8 bladed black fan...and I really like it... I would like to get rid of my stock 4 bladed one on my '69 Dauntless... I want one that moves MORE AIR.... where did you get it..? Real nice job you are doing... all your work is very well done... I am enjoying following your build postings.

 

I sent 1928 an email regarding the fan I used

Derale Performance Plain Stainless Flex Fan

Thank you for the wonderful compliments! As for the fan, check the link above~ as for the spacer, I'll have to recheck what I used, I bought a 1 1/2 first, then to a 1" bought from amazon. But if you're running the big HEI distributor, it won't clear the vacuum advance, unless it's clocked differently. I had the HEI, but didn't like it and went back to the stock distributor with the Pertronix upgrade.
I hope this helps!

 

geared up to paint epoxy Just can't make up my mind to do these in gloss or matte

the tops of the stands are ball bearing and spin easily, great for painting wheels

 

Thanks for the Likes!

Just waiting now for the rim decals, I went with the Matte finish~ Going to just clean shop for the rest of the day~ Wiring harness came in, perhaps Monday I'll start on that

 

X2!

 

You have all the best toys.... I'm gonna send my stuff over shortly

Well done with the wheels. They're black, but I dare say classy enough for this crew.

I like the matte that you chose over the gloss.

 

Nice work as usual.

 

While working on the wiring, I put the windshield/frame back on I really don't like wiring, at least it's nice and clean everywhere! Ok, back to LOST (3rd time around)





Darn, I was doing all that painting and forgot about the air cleaner

 

Dne'
If you are on the book of faces, reach out to michael. He has a bunch of the wheels you have. (For your spare)
If you are not on FB, PM me and I will give you his cell #. I have purchased several parts from him. Responsive and fast.

Eric

 

Thank you Eric! I think the wheels I have are 9"? and the ardvark wheel is 8". I'll recheck, but thank you so much for the contact info!!!

 

Those are not the same wheels she has. Hers are an aftermarket white spoke, those are later model factory CJ white spokes.
