76 Jeep CJ 5 Rebuild

[ITLLFLI]

By U Boy asked me to start a thread about my rebuild.

I found this thing wrecked near my house. I needed it like I needed a hole in the head so I low balled the guy. He took the offer! It sat for 9 months while I finished some other projects and I finally got around to working on it a month and a half ago.

Its a 76 CJ5 with all fiberglass tub, fenders and hood. The guy hit a telephone pole with the right front wheel. It destryoyed the frame, right fender, and cracked the front axle housing. Other than that I have redone and used all the parts that came on the thing. I bought a used frame, sand blasted it, reenforced it in critical areas then painted it with POR15. The project has been mainly labor and very little expense. I am not building it as a show jeep but rather a trail jeep that I wouldn't mind to take to the grocery.
