Jeep CJ-5 resto-mod

[fat50]

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).

That is one sweet CJ ! Nice job on resurrecting it from a pile of parts, love the color and the stance.

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 ?

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.

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.
