Jeep CJ5 with chevy small block finished

[Mike C.]

Finally finished with my CJ5. I dichef the 4 banger for a Chevy small block I sourced from the '84 GMC pickup. I'm going to need to go back and fix that windshield that I got Glue all over. I'm definitely getting some of that clear window Glue in the future. I attempted to age the vintage surfboards by soaking them in Tea but I guess this plastic is less porous than I thought. Tried to at least add stringers to them. I put masking tape down the center and planed to use it a a guide but then my fine felt tipped pen dried up on me.

Oops. I need to go back and give it a top radiator hose. My days of doing the ignition wiring are over. I can barely pull it off on 1/18 any more. Some of the small parts That I left off are lost forever to the floor monster. ?

Looks nice Mike.? A master cylinder may be helpful in the Whoa department too.?

Its funny you say that. The tree that I took most of the engine parts from has a 2 piece power master cylinder still on it that I kept looking at. I'm also running open headers now. Maybe I'll give it some exhaust down the road.

Nice upgrade to the V8.  Kewl looking green.  Had a CJ5 1:1 back in the day.  Nice job.

I'm with you Mike on the floor monster. I have had parts disappearing in that black hole so many time. I do basic stuff on engines. Most of my models go on a shelve inside an enclosure. I build a few detailed engines but mostly they are just stock build. Regardless, you jeep is awesome in this light green. Great job.

During this build I lost 1 complete taillight, 1 mirror and both of those hood hold downs . Once I hear it hit that hardwood floor, I know its probably gone forever. ?

Nice Jeep. I had a '79 CJ5 with the 304 V-8 and a 3 speed. I still miss it.
