Well said, flatheads are really neat. But get an LS and cruise down the interstate like a brand new car.

Some would say it is. It's all a matter of opinion.

Awesome! Thanks for watching. The early cjs are super fun and great projects. I didn't know anything about them when I got mine, but they will teach you. Good luck with your project. Feel free to ask any questions that may arise, I'm happy to help.

Nothing can stop it now!😆

Thank you 👍

Thanks👍

It does have drain holes in the floor. Not nearly as many, but they are nice clean cut, factory style.

@ClassicChrome86 I appreciate you watching and commenting. Hopefully you can come, every trip to Carlisle is different. You never know what you'll find.

That's too bad about the flood damage, That would have been an awesome car!

Thanks! Keep at it and you'll get it done.

Haha!! I was wondering how long it would take for someone to notice.

Yep, haha! I'm already driving through the woods thinking that branch is 10 feet above me it'll clear. Then i hear the antenna hit it, Lol! I can tie it down for low clearance.

@chrishazleton2440 Oh yeah, it drives! Just drove it around town tonight. It always starts immediately. You just bumb the key it it runs. Shifts smoother than most modern cars, never even thinks of overheating. And gets 20 miles per gallon. For an almost 70 year old, never been rebuilt drivetrain, you couldn't ask for it to be better. Plus, it will crawl over just about anything!

@TrapperAaron Buying a tub probably would have been the better choice. But I really want to keep steel. (That's just my preference, I won't daily this. If I get a newer CJ, then I'll get fiberglass to last forever) And I don't have the money to buy a replacement steel tub. The good thing is I've already patched all the floors and made it good. There's just a couple of little holes left, and it will be perfect.

@jacobellis5999 I'll do something eventually, but for now, I'm undecided whether I should paint the whole thing or not. So for now, I'll just let it surface rust and blend in with the rest of the patina.

@johnbannister501 Thank you, sir!

Thanks👍

I honestly haven't heard of that, I would appreciate an explanation. I'm always wanting to learn something new.

@@JacobNovoselStudios theyre used on boats u take a wire wheel like youre trying to put a ground on on the metal then use a toggle bolt or something to keep the zinc on there the metal wont corrode until the anode is eaten away in an area

​@@112food okay, thanks. Very cool!

That's a good point. I put it on the side. That way, when I put a hardtop on, it won't hit the top. With it on the back and the top on, I couldn't bend it down for low clearance. Thanks for the suggestion.

I actually left it bare for now. I haven't decided if I'm keeping a patina look or painting the whole jeep. Previous owners have sprayed things with flat black, which I don't want to continue doing. So, for the time being, I'll just let it weather into the rest until I decide what I want.

So far, there has been no filler, fiberglass, etc. on this jeep. Only steel, and I'm keeping it that way.

My pleasure, once you get the hang of it, welding is easy.

Right on! With a little work here and there, it will probably out live me! P.S. anything happen with that willys you were looking at? Don't mean to be nosy. I just can't stop thinking of old Jeeps.

@@JacobNovoselStudios No, it's cool man. After looking closer, there were two many unknowns so I passed. Still looking...

@@BobbyOfEarth You'll find one soon enough. The right thing is always out there!

They were actually all made by the Franklin car company. They went out of business in 1934. Very rare and unique, something cool to see.

Thanks, these old Jeeps had push button start on the floor that you hit with your foot. Eliminating the need for a starter solenoid and making the key simpler. It's just hooked directly to the battery, so there's no fail points. I have since wired it to start with a key also, but in this case, the key wouldn't work.

@@JacobNovoselStudios oh ok, very cool!

Why? For a 2 cent piece of wire and a minute of time. Now it's good to go👍

Not Harbor freight, Autozone.

Why should you care? Leave the kid alone, if you don't think it's cool, then don't watch the videos. BTW, every time you comment it helps the algorithm!

​@@TheF100Dude gotta agree with @JohnWick-li2wz here , Im gay and that Jeep is too gay for me

​@The_Foxxo @JohnWick-li2wz The cool thing is that the lights are functional and have a usable purpose. If you've ever been offroading at night or working on the property (I doubt it or else you would understand) having white lights shining on the tires is super handy. Gives you the ability to see where your tires are and what obstacles you are about to go over. Also gives a nice working light for changing tires, repairing hubs, checking pressure, etc. They are really a useful thing when using a 4x4 to its full potential. Hence why most offroaders have rock lights. Being able to change colors is just a bonus feature.

@@JacobNovoselStudios Won't deny the practicality of them, the RGB part is what I believe is hella gay tbh especially on a Jeep

I have been off-roading 40 years. We didn't need those lights parade I think that you need those lights because you don't have skills

@jonallen1985 Actually, it does say willys, on the tailgate, and Vin plate. Oh, and the title as well, because that's all any willys ever had for identification. The only thing to say willys anywhere else is the modern 4 door hybrid things they make now. This jeep is from 1956 when willys was owned by kaiser motors, but they still marketed everything as a willys. They didn't officially get rid of the name until the mid 60s. It's just as much a willys as anything else. Fun fact, the original jeeps produced for WW2 didn't say willys anywhere because the government didn't allow it.

The one and only!

I appreciate that, it sure is!!

@@JacobNovoselStudios I grew up with a friend who had a 3 cylinder Willy's it would go anywhere in Alaska just about. It inspired me to get a Ford f-150 with the inline six300 with a 2 barrel holly and tall skinny tires put it in creeper gear and it was unstoppable . I still own a similar Ford f-150 it's a 1989 300 six FI it's not a four wheel drive but in first gear and years of experience off-roading it will go more places than I should take it easily it's torque is what drives the 300 six way more powerful than many can imagine

A 3 cylinder willys that would be a diesel if im not mistaken? If so, those are really hard to find. You can't beat the old 300, tons of torque, and they last forever. I really want to find an old Ford pickup with a 300, just simple yet effective machines.

@@JacobNovoselStudios simple rules they should have never changed the inline six lineup by Ford. 1960 Ford falcon ranchero 144 CI 42 mpg 2 speed sludge-o-matic best combination ever

@willsimpson7059 Exactly, yet 60 years later with all our technological advancements. A car with fuel injection, 9 gears, the ability to have nearly perfect aerodynamics, super light materials, and most still get maybe 20 mpg. My ancient Jeep with a horribly designed engine (to modern standards) no overdrive, 5.38-1 axle gears. And the worst aerodynamics ever. Pulling almost 3,000 rpm to go 50 mph still gets 20 mpg.

Thanks, man👍

It sure is👍 It's not what I was expecting to see at a state park.

@@JacobNovoselStudios yeah
