One of my favorites. My stepdaughter and her husband are currently building a CJ7 for her.
Originally the CJ7 wasn’t meant to be taken down as far it has.
The Adrain Monk mindset I have about rust, corrosion, and the like got to me.
When the powder coat guys came to pick up the chassis, I got them to look at the tub. They agreed with me that it was in overall very good condition. A few touch up welds and a couple patches would suit them and me. Budget willing maybe next month a blue powdered tub. Major body work is mostly complete.
I also have a pile of surplus I6 parts since I acquired a 304 that looks viable. A few nibbles on Craiglist. I’m tired of tripping over it and the transmission.
I’ve been touching the long languishing K5 since I’m on a hold pattern of sorts. Right now, preservation and powdercoating of some parts.
