Body Damage is Cool

Howdy all, been a while.

Some might remember me and my CJ5 project. Well its come along way in the last year or so. Farther than I ever imagined it would.

Back in June I bought a 1973 CJ5 with a crumby frame, a boat anchor 304, and a nice glass body. I combined the body with my mint CJ5 frame from my 1972, and it all just recently came together with nothing but odds and ends to finish up before spring.

Here are some pics of the process.
