The above sounds like every Jeep build...but yours is far from the avergae build!

You raised the bar for a CJ resto/build!

That is definitely a jewel. I'm inspired. I will start restoration on my newly acquired '81 CJ7 within the next month - from the frame up. I hope to learn a lot along the way. Thanks for posting.
