I have one of those air Sanders and it makes a HUGE difference I think you'll be surprised at how well it works. I also just picked up a Jeep it's a 1978 Cj-5 and I will be doing the same things to it
I'm so excited to try it out! I got so burned out with hours of block sanding the same spot haha thanks for watching Alloid! Good luck with your CJ5 build! They are pretty straightforward to work on, not too bad
@@NickDowner I'll be starting with a few mechanical issues. One of the first things I'll need to do is replace the oil pump it doesn't work very well and then a few other things. The tub is pretty straight over all just a few little dings here and there. I'm only 13 which makes it 100 times harder because I can't drive to the parts place for parts you know? I have to have someone else pick them up for me and then there is the problem of work I don't have a steady job so it's hard to always have money for parts.
@@78_LS_swapped_cj Well it sounds like you have a good handle on moving forward with your build! Good luck! Take your time and I'm sure it will come out really great
Great job. I had a new 1983 CJ7 and they were never straight from factory. Save your energy for the inside/dash panel. CJs were a unique driving experience from the factory seating position, steering wheel to the dash levers/gauges. Recreate that factory look and it will take you back in time!!
Something to keep in mind, when you're done, and driving the jeep. When you close the hood, don't drop it on the front hood latch. Let it down, gently, and open the latch, to set the hood . Reason is, the radiator core support is easily bent. I had this problem with my cj7. The previous owner dropped the hood enough times that the front latch wouldn't lock into the hood. I had to use a crowbar under the hook part of the latch to gently pry the support back up. Also, the latch is adjustable, left and right. Just loosen the two bolts that hold the latch, and slide it, by hand. MOST of the time, the latch needs to be adjusted all the way to the passenger side, to make full contact with the opening in the hood.
Wow, thanks for the heads up! I appreciate it. I'll definitely keep that in mind. I can't believe this hood doesn't have more support in the middle haha seems a bit flimsy
Good video. Thanks. I think the most important thing I watch in your video is you are using a mask to avoid the dust wich is very dangerous. I am going to paint by myself my old 1977 Cj5

@@NickDowner Thanks! I'm pretty excited to get started on mine I've been looking at it and seems pretty simple
@@78_LS_swapped_cj what are you starting on first? Body stuff?

True that Juan! I plan to have a completely stock dash. I already bought a new dash cover. I love all the stock gauges and pulls! Thanks for watching!

You might want to mock up your lights and gas filler holes before painting! Looking good!
Great call! I still need to cut out the gas filler hole haha everytime I go out to work on it I forget! Thanks for watching!
This has been incredible to watch... Looking great Nick!
This is coming out great. What color you plan on painting the jeep? You gonna stick with the black?
Thanks! I'm leaning towards nardo grey right now but I haven't bought any base coat yet so I can switch last minute :). Thanks for watching!
@@NickDowner no camo body wrap?
