My 67 CJ5 build

Thanks!

 

Any updates john?

 

Depends if you use it straight or not. Cut in half with water , a day. Less if using less water.

One container is more than enough. I got it on ebay

 

Soon. Work got busy. Starting on the tub soon. I'll keep you updated as I do it.

 

Been a crazy busy 6 months but time for some therapy. Somehow I need to turn this 56 rusted tub into a factory fresh 67 tub.......should be fun

 

Looks to be a lot of therapy to work on . Great starting point !

 

Started digging a bit into it today, almost an inch of bondo :-( i might need the therapy

 

Trip to the sandblaster in the plan?

 

Finally got to do some therapy work, been awhile but I have to make the money to spend it
My original oil pan had a pin hole in it so I found another one from a member here



Got her sanded



Prepped with Por-15 metal prep





A little scotch bright sanding and primer



Back to Buick green. Hope to get the old one off and this one on this week and get her started again to fix a few drips and leaks

 

Your restoration of the 67 is looking great. looking forward to the tub restoration/repair. keep up the great work and the pics.

 

She's peaking out of her storage spot



She survived pretty well for being in a dark damp basement for over 8 months



So other than an oil leak from not having the speedometer cable attached it looks like my temp. Switch is leaking, probably cracked

 

Off with the old oil pan



On with the new

 

Since this is my first engine rebuild I keep waiting for the big kaboom. Still run perfect though

 

looking good john

 

I couldnt seem to keep where the speedometer cable attaches from dripping oil no matter how hard I tightened it




So I made a cork gasket for it, hopefully there will be no drips under it in the morning, thats my Jeep accomplishment of the day

 

That's a clever idea. Mine's leaking too.and I thought it must be something in the gear housing. Keep us posted on whether your fix worked.

 

Yes, it worked. Not a drip now
