On his website about the CJ-5 he writes, “The restoration work was started in August 2005 and substantially completed nine-months later in May. During that period seven-months labor and about $4,500.00 in parts and material was devoted to this restoration. The job took longer than expected due to the deteriorated condition of the body, and me — relearning the restoration trade and techniques, and reading everything available dealing with old Jeeps and their restoration. This Jeep is a RESTO-MOD. It’s a stock chassis and drive-train with minor modifications in the electrical, brake system and body….”


very nice! I love early civie CJ5s, think they are some of the best early 4x4s ever, very drivable, very usable and because they haven’t really “caught on” yet with collectors outside the jeep world, can still be bought and built cheap. Nice work man, love the old school appeal!
Yep, Jim said it all ! Very Cool !!!
