fat50 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Hi Guys, Finished up my Jeep CJ-5 resto-mod. Bought a bag of jeep parts at one of the Detroit NNL's for a couple bucks. Almost enough pieces to put one Jeep together, the missing pieces came from the parts box. I put the axles under the springs and added dual shocks up front to get a little lift, tire/rims from the parts box (I think they are from the 1/24 Dodge Ramcharger?). This is Jeep 3 of 6 for a future diorama (I'll start a thread for the dio as I get Jeeps 4 through 6 closer to completion). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 That is one sweet CJ ! Nice job on resurrecting it from a pile of parts, love the color and the stance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Great looking CJ, I like the little details like the red tow hooks and the abbreviated top. Is it a curb side or did you also add an engine ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat50 Posted August 11, 2017 Author Share Posted August 11, 2017 It's the full kit, there's a 4 cylinder under the hood, I should snap some underside and under hood pics . Shot in Testors tangerine through a Paasche H airbrush.Thanks for the kind words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Very nice save! Just don't mention that spring-over lift in certain circles, believe it or not it's kind of a sore point among Jeep guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
