    Thanks for helping me relive the excitement of finding my first Jeep. Mine is a 1969, and it has been taking up half of the space in my garage for the last two years. Every few months I open the hood and tinker a little. I’m sure I’ll have it running in another 20 years.

    I bought my 78 CJ5 last year after switching from motorcycles (leg amputation). I found a fairly decent body and great frame. Getting 258 / 6 and other parts from some off road murders. Hoping to get it on the road. This one is awesome. Looks to be great fodder for a rebuild. Please don't go EV. These old jeeps should chug along and barely hit 55.

    So this is the second Jeremy makes things video for me. I like the way you think! I also saw we are neighbors so to speak. (I spied the NH license plate on your truck) I am over in the Lake Sunapee area. Anyway the concept of an electric drive jeep sounds fun, after all electric mining trucks have been around for ages and nothing has better instant torque than a well designed electric drive system. Plus it's probably never going to make a numbers matching restoration, so why not? 😁 I am going to enjoy to see what you learn as you go along. I dare say I will learn a thing or two as well.

    Jeremy, this Jeep reminds me of _my_ '46 CJ-2A (early model). A previous "owner" built his own hard top for it, but welded it to the windshield frame solidly across the top and stitch welded the angle iron frame to the top edge of the body. All I had was hacksaw blades, so it took "a while" to cut it off. Hopefully, before I die, I'll either repair the windshield frame or replace it. ;) The floor is completely gone in the body that I have (due to leaves accumulating in it since it had no "solid" doors. The main cross-member under the front end of the engine in my Jeep is a steel tube welded between the main frame members, but one side has cracked at the weld. I _really_ look forward to what you do to get this Jeep back on the road! Also, being afraid of going over 55 MPH (~88.5 KPH) in the Jeep may not be a problem because my Jeep never could run that fast due to its gearing. I think the only way mine would go faster than 55 MPH would be to drive over a cliff tall enough for gravity to reach/approach "_terminal_ velocity" over 55! ;)

    I have a 1953 ex military M-38A1 like that CJ-5. It has that same hardtop on it. My top has a small brass plate on the right side that says Koenig Iron Works on it.
    Koenig was big back in the day making tops, snowplows, winches, etc.
    When I get around to restoring the Jeep I’ll probably just go with a repro military canvas top.
    Edit: I made my original comment about the hardtop when I was only a few minutes into the video. Now I see that top does have the Koenig plate on it.

    Swap to a better frame. Rebuild the engine. Paint EVERYTHING with POR-15 to prevent any more rust. And drive it like you stole it. But you'll only go 40MPH at best with the factory 5.38 differential gears. I did the same thing to my 1956 CJ5 but I installed a brand new body tub from the Philippines. Mine's good for another 66 years.

    Take a look at SGI, they’re in India and make reproduction jeep parts for these old willys. They literally just came out with an early cj5 reproduction tub. It’s been highly reviewed by jeep guys here in the states!
    You can also go that route for a frame, unless you find a good original frame. Which they do exist although you have to search for them.
    All in all there’s nothing like driving an old jeep. Open top, windshield down, no seatbelts. 55mph is like the max performance the F head engine will give you. Probably cruise more comfortably around 45.
    Good luck in your restoration of this beauty!

    Jeremy, it looked hopeful when camouflaged with half the rainforest growing on, under, in and beside it. Now that it's "cleaned up" I'm beginning, as I'm reasonably sure you are, question your sanity/insanity at attempting this "project"?
    My suggestion would be to contact Paul at Fabrats and see if he's aware of a frame for it. After that it basically new springs etc.
    The motor I'm sure you could find something that works. Electrifying it?? Like you said it has the aero of a fridge. But having seen what you can do with other "piles of excrement" I'm sure you'll figure something out.
    We'll be watching and waiting. Good luck from Canada's banana belt.

    Hi Jeremy, I've been watching your contributions for a while and have commented on some. This project is sure ambitious, but having already seen some of your episodes before finding this one, I can see you're determined. I got a kick out of the one guy lambasting you for wanting to put an electric motor in it and then saying he has one with a transplanted v6, chevy steering stereo, etc. What's original in his can o' worms?It'ss your scrap pile to do with as you pleas, and if you succeed in learning new skills along the wa, then it's obviously worth it to you. I'll be watching with interest. I recently watched an episode of jimsgarage where they overhauled a motor like the one you have there. Quite an interesting way of building a motor with half the valves in the block and half in the head. They were looking for a good crankshaft for the one they were doing. Maybe they might be interested in yours if you're going to junk it.

    This happens so often that somebody will purchase something tear it all apart and then lose interest or life gets in the way and a few years later tries to sell it, but can’t find half the stuff. Why not leave it all together until you’re ready to work on it I just don’t understand.
