Description:
On the
front end and rear end we had some Ford 9" rear end parts so cut up a
9" for the front with Dodge outer's welded to the ford 9" and cut up
one for
the rear and had disc brakes. Both were narrowed to fit in the frame.
The suspension is 3 link up front and 4 link in
the rear with coil's.
I got the coils from Art Morrison (Fife, Wa). I
did not have the tools to spline the axles, so I had Barley Machine Shop
(Bremerton,Wa) spline them for me. I had Bud Machine Shop (Tacoma, Wa)
build the 302 Motor.
I found a C-6 in the paper and I put a shift kit
in it. My uncle's junk yard had a NP-205 in a box all in pieces and
they gave it to me to see if I can get it be together; it worked.
The Fiberglass Body - I had some molds and I
picked the CJ-3B, it took only one weekend to build the whole body.
This was the first and only Jeep body I built off the molds a friend
gave
me, I still have them.
I picked up a pipe bender and bent all my pipe for
the roll bar.
The tools used were Sawzall, grinder, welder,
drill and I put it all together
in my small garage.
When I started this project I really did not know
if I would finish it or throw it all away; you can see I did not throw
it away. This is the first time I built something like this.
My wife at the time said it was a waste of money, and it will sit in
the garage and take up space for years and never be touched.
P.S.
The Blower is fit up on the motor (Test Fit) had to cut out
some of the fire wall.
I will have my motor out this weekend and I will start
getting
it ready for the
all new paint, (Frame, Body, Motor, Running gear) |
