fat50 Posted August 11, 2017 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).
mikemodeler Posted August 11, 2017 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.
espo Posted August 11, 2017 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 ?
fat50 Posted August 11, 2017 Author 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.
Chuck Most Posted August 11, 2017 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.
kelson Posted August 13, 2017 Posted August 13, 2017 That's beautiful!,that color really grabs the eye!!
