Nice looking starter project.

May I suggest adding a name to your signature, so we know who we're talking to. This is a small forum and we like to know who were picking on.

Got er done.

Thanks, I have to do some suspention work and fix a small oil leak. Also have to fix a little rust on the frame, but for $1200 I can complain about the rig running under its own power and drives decent.

GOOD LUCK with those, welcome to owning a CJ.

Great to see another CJ around. We're getting few and far between.

I don't see many in Southern Maryland I can tell ya that. I'm thinking about doing a frame off restore. I need to fix the rear of the frame its got some rust eating through it.

Frame/Body off resto is easy with a Jeep. Just a few bolts, wires linkages, etc. You could pull the body off in a day.
It's putting it back that could become the problem.
Some of the mounting locations in the body have captive nuts that are usually frozen, broken, stripped, etc. So they must be rebuilt along with the other work.
But it's FUN!
