Increíble.....! Mi CJ7 necesita una restauración aunque es casi imposible por la situación del país. Pero me han devuelto el ánimo. Los felicito por compartir! 💪👏👏👏👍
Wonderfully done video, I really enjoyed it. Perfect job too. Don't ya just love after the dirty work is done assembling the newly painted parts... my favorite part for sure. THANK YOU.
I just don’t understand how some idiot would dislike this video enough to leave a thumbs down great work on your CJ one day I want to look as good as yours
When I restored my 74 CJ5 I did convert from the stock 2 barrel 304 to a performance built 4 barrel 360 and surprisingly the mileage is actually a bit better with the 360 . Not surprising is the performance difference. Wow is all I can say
Noticed a Utah plate, I'm in west valley, id love to see this in person. Fantastic and absolutely well done. I have a 77 cj7 golden eagle in need of a major tear down. This video is inspiring.
If you do that Golden Eagle, skip the AMC V8 and find a modern truck with a V8. Use the whole electrical, emission and exhaust systems from the truck so you will have a fuel injected engine. Those 70's AMC motors were junk. Just my 2cents.
+Philip Gibson Mike I looked it up and about all I have is that it is a General Motors color from 1999. We liked it because it was a great contrast to the interior and it had a nice peril in the paint. Hope that answers the question. Thanks for asking.
Ajay Kumar The total cost to finish, well let's just say it was a lot, but the experience was more than the money spent. I probably would not do it again because I could never get all my money back out. It will be a family airloom. In addition this jeep has an extensive store behind in. Thanks for the inquiry.
@@robertbrandywine The word "Store" should have been "Story". It is very hard to find older Jeeps that have not been demolished through wear and tear this Jeep was previously owned by an older man and it carried a great deal of sentimental value. That sentimental value was additionally elevated through this restoration process. The economic cost although high does not compare to the memories held by us during the restoration. We could have fixed it up but our goal was to make it better than the day it came from the dealer. Hope that gives a bit more information
Mike the total cost to completely resort this Jeep was around 64,000.00 but much of that cost was caused by a body shop that took me for a ride. There were several people who were taken and the shop is now closed with many law suites against the owner. If I applied a reasonable cost for the paint and body work I would say that the overall cost would have been closer to 35 or 40. What ever though it was an experience for my son and I that I will never forget and the Jeep will remain in the family for a long time.
...I just saw a 1979 quadra track completely restored by an owner of a body shop...(it looked brand new),he said his out of pocket cost was a llittle over $6,200...as in six thousand, Two hundred. In checking the prices for parts for ANY CJ7, you can just about buy everything you need to remake one for around $6,500, or less. With all do respect, on what planet did you have your Jeep restored?
The planet of body shop rip off. It's a long story of which I could write a best selling novel, but I can say that to do a complete frame off restoration with engine rebuild, Trans rebuild and all other chassis components either new or completely rebuilt you would be hard pressed to be under 15 to 20 thousand.
..just taking the Body alone, a damn good Paint job, ( with under coating).....$1,500 to $3000 tops. Man, if you paid a penny over that, I don't even want to know. We're talking "Jeep" here for heaven's sake. I've seen people rebuild them in their garage....and they look awesome!
Money aside, the time spent with your son is priceless. The fantastic results are just a bye product of that.
Getting my CJ5 rebuild started now! Thanks for the motivation. I just got my motor out this weekend.

I wish I could find a good CJ-5 to restore.. Great Job.. That is my favorite Jeep color, Forest Green/Pearl.
I just don’t understand how some idiot would dislike this video enough to leave a thumbs down great work on your CJ one day I want to look as good as yours
This is a labor of love!! Thanks
It's a beautiful Jeep!
Love the Jeep! Just beautiful.

Anytime we are in sandy so reasonably close. Let me know when you would like to check it out. Available most any day.
Philip Gibson I'm in Millcreek. Nice work. Beautiful.

The beginning Jeep looked pretty clean.
Yes, we learned that. But the Bones we solid
Outstanding! I have a very nice 1974 CJ5 that is stock paint Reef Green. what is the color of this rebuild. Its Beautiful!
Good looking Jeep. Should have put the logo'd Tailgate on it.
Any idea what exact GM color that is ? THAT LOOKS GREAT
looks like the forest green pearl introduced in 1997 ran to 2001.. PG8. Same color as my 2001 Wrangler.
You painted it the right color!
Love your dog... and your car too. How much cost all the project?.
Regards from Colombia
Saludos. Tremendo proyecto.
Q caja y motor tienen montado
Nice job
Whou 👏👏👏👏
What did you use to strip the frame and what paint did you go with? How is it holding up
That Darn Project we had to have some frame repair so it was sand blasted. Then we had it powder coated black. Holds up great. Hope that helps.
E to je restoracija!
Has the engine been powder coated or is that hi temp paint.
Not powder coated but yes high temp paint
What color is that, it looks great
it is a GM color

@@philipgibson98 What do you mean "extensive store behind it"? I bet you could sell this and get all your time and parts money back plus a profit.

@@rustylittleman5159 Thanks, as I said I had a 1980 that I purchased new. The CJ5 is the only jeep I would own.
@@robertbrandywine , you very rarely get your money invested in parts, accsorys and labor out of it upon sale.

Mike what can I say. Experience is the best teacher. Now I just enjoy it. If you are restoring one let me know when you are finished.
The parts have become outrageous its simply better to buy a newer jeep
Never will i own a jk. Anyone can buy a new jeep it takes a real enthusiast to fix the old ones.
Nothing like the iconic CJ5 though.
