1958 Jeep CJ5 - Back on the road after 40 years!

My grandfather bought this Jeep in 1960. Eventually my father inherited it, but a few years later he was in a wreck and the car got put to the side. After sitting in disrepair for 40 years it's [almost] complete and back on the road!

Well done!! Great to see a family vehicle fixed up. We have a 58 CJ5 from our family. Been working on it like you for a few years. Nice top and doors! What did you get? Ours was down since 82'.
Ours will be enjoyed in the woods of northern Wisconsin.

Thank you! It's been fun working with my dad to get it back on the road. The top is a Bestop SuperTop Classic. Be sure to install it on a nice warm day if you get one. They're pretty tight when new.
