    Hi. I was wondering about the featured jeep on the Home Page. I believe it belongs to Bill Livesay(?), at least that's what it looks like it says. It's a 1960 CJ5.

    What I'm wondering about is the paint job. I want to paint my CJ gunmetal gray, but am thinking about a semi-gloss, or a satin finish. Bills' jeep looks like it may have a similar paint job.

    Does anybody know about this? Thanks in advance!

    Rich.

    Its a full gloss PPG Omni. It looks a little dull cause T1 at Tellico was dusty : )

    hey, while we're asking about you jeep, what size and make tires are you running? And how much lift? You Jeep looks very proportional.

    If someone didn't ask about Billy's Jeep from time to time, what would he have to talk about

    Well, Bill...thanks for the dusty jeep picture. It gives me some idea of what a semi-gloss jeep would look like! It's a great looking jeep.

    Sorry about misspelling your last name...
