Saltie Olds Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 I was able to get more paint and finished painting it. Forgot about painting the dash, so I’m thinking I’ll leave it black, to match the seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m thinking about dirtying it up some, after I get it finished, like it’s been going for some weekend fun, or keeping looking clean and new.

stavanzer Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 The CJ-7 has more legroom, if you are tall. I had a CJ-5 and it was a tight fit. Your Colour choice is great! It looks very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stavanzer Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I'm 6'1" and I found the Shorter CJ-5 to be a squeeze. If I bought another CJ I'd get a '7 too. That extra few inches makes a difference. I bought the '5 because it was believed to be a better Rock Crawler because of the shorter wheelbase, and that was something that was very important to me at that time. I'd prefer the greater comfort of the CJ-7 now, that I'm almost 60. My advice. After you finish the Model, go buy a real one! More Fun (and expense) than a barrel of puppies! 30+ years after selling it, it is still my favorite car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m also going to do a model of another CJ-7, and build it as close to the way I’d want a real one. But that one won’t be lifted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saltie Olds Posted July 20, 2022 Author Share Posted July 20, 2022 When I was out clearing the body, it popped off the paint stand I was using twice. So I’m going to have to repaint the Jeep and start over, a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
