Coming right along... getting in and out of that CJ is going to be a lot different once you get that steering wheel installed... I had a 78 CJ without power steering and that big old steering wheel and I would do battle every time I got in or tried to get out.
Yeah, I bet it would’ve been hard with one of those 16 inch steering wheels or whatever they were that’s why I’m going with a 14 inch high should have 8 inches between the seat in the steering wheel. I couldn’t imagine driving this without power steering.
Great job figuring the seats out I'm 6-4 and restoring a 49 willys and trying to figure out leg room! Thought about putting in racing seats! Any advice?
@@marklaracey6714 I looked at racing seats I didn’t like they had a side on them so you had to get up out of them. I even looked into boat seats. They were smaller. But as you see, I ended up cutting the wheel well doesn’t of 49 have more space behind the seat.
Your going full custom garage. Looking good man !
Full custom. Lol

You talk about me cutting up on molds ? You're cutting up a new body ! lol ..... I vote for a deep dish wood grain steering wheel .
I vote for a deep dish wood grain too. Lol
@@maxxbear5014 Truck bed liner coating on the floor boards might be a good idea too .
Great Video! How long are the CJ5 seats from the rear of the seats to the front of the bottom cushion?
They are 22”. Thanks for watching the video.
Good stuff, moving along!
Thanks getting there a little slower than I had hoped
Great Video. Will be doing this to the CJ3A. How much did you move it back? What was the total length of the original cut
I’ll get it for you the next time I’m in the garage. Thanks
