Where are you from ? I'm in Florida only thing that sux is it's been raining and I don't have a garage lol so doing it when it's not raining is a hassle so I gotta figure out something lol
Thanks for the idea! We just watched this video and my 17 year old son fabricated a new inner frame. It looks pretty good if you ask me. It’s been fun to watch your videos as we work on our 46 Jeep.
I got to tell you, I love hearing you are working on a project with your son. You won’t regret it that’s awesome. I did projects with my sons and they were great memories. I usually say to commenters thanks for being part of this project. But I’m honored to be part of yours
@@royworks28 Thanks for your reply! Keep the videos coming. Can't wait to see the tank and gas line go in. I would love to show you a pic of our new windshield based on your video. Not 100% certain on how to post one here.
@@tombourdaux5952 I’d really like to see it. I’m not sure if you’re on Instagram or Facebook but if you are on Facebook Jason Roy in Plaistow NH or @Roywworks on Instagram.
Seemed to turn out pretty darn good if you ask me. I like how you chose to attempt to fabricate rather than purchase. Might as well try and learn something...good practice. Well done!
Howdy, I was glad to see you butt weld the WILLYS plate into the larger flat plate. That is a much more professional way to do it. You mentioned blowing through in a few places. You can buy or build a copper or brass backing plate that will stop a lot of that burn through . I have built several of these backers for my own use as I do a lot of vintage body modifacation and or repair building Hot Rods. I have flat, mild radius, tight radius and material to build more if I need to. Your idea to use the angle and flat plate for the glass frame is really good, but I wonder how you will install the glass and rubber into the closed channels.
Thankyou for watching and the advice to use copper backing .I actually used some copper fittings I had and coat hanger material that I didn’t show in video. I made the frame so it detaches from top hinged rail with 3 screws how it was originally . So the glass can slide into u shaped frame then reattached to top rail.I hope I made sense.
@@royworks28 I understand, Thank you for the reply. I actually have several of the CJ's from 46 to 52 . The best one ( which is not saying much ) has a fresh rebuild on the "F" head engine. I got it in the engine bay and started building Hot Rods so the jeep went to the back of the line. I recently purchased a set of four mag wheels and 31" tires for the jeep so I want to get back on it. See ya on your next video. Chuck, in Geneseo, Ks.
I just spent over an hour searching for your videos on a Willys forum because I wasn't signed in when I watched it. I can appreciate when you said you like to fabricate because you always learn and improve. The easy way isn't always the best way! Keep up the good work!!
I used 3/4” steel pipe that you would use for gas piping.6 minutes into the video I install the Willys embossing. Or do you mean the frame for the split window?
First here!!!! 😁 Another great video!! And congrats your channel is growing nicely, and you deserve it! You put a lot of effort into what you do! I’ll say it again, your fabricating skills are great!!!
Enjoy watching your progress and I’m about to tackle a similar project on a ‘48 CJ2A. What type and diameter of pipe did you use for the lower part of the frame? Looks like black pipe?
You can use a damp rag in one hand to reduce warping and heat distortion, I do it all the time...works really well...trev’s blog has lots of explanations on it but the linked video is good...forward to 32 min in... ruclips.net/video/1tdAgTCghUk/видео.html Also you could maybe reduce wire size you are using (sorry if you mentioned already what you are using) but maybe reduce to 0.023 unless you are already using that? That might help with the blow out some...or at least help you fill in where you need to...looks amazing tho, turned out really really nice! You should be proud! And to get it done so cheaply AND get the schooling for free! Ha great job!
Thanks I will try that,I could definitely see how the smaller wire could help. The problem I was having was the old metal is ridiculously thin..I’m enjoying trying to figure out alternative ways of fixing this old guy other than just buying parts..I know you know how to do that
Nice job on the windshield coming along well, but you won't be able to put a weather seal on the outside of the frame, unless there is some way to glue it on, probably is idk If you care to redo it to accept a factory style weather seal there is a good writeup on the cj2a page here www.thecj2apage.com/forums/building-a-universal-modified_topic28473_page17.html You can buy all that metal at home depot. When you butt weld like that it is extremely beneficial to put a block of aluminum or copper behind the piece to control heat and help act as a backstop so the metal will fill instead of punch through.
Hey thanks for taking the time to give me the information, I’ll check it out. I’ll definitely try using the copper to prevent the blow out. When I’m done doing the bulk of the work I’m going to go back and fine tune everything.during the winter I limit the amount of welding I do because I have bad ventilation in my garage..Thanks for being here
Great job sir
Thanks man
Estou aprendendo muito com seus conhecimentos 👍👍🤝🤝🤝
Eu comprei um jeep willys 1957 para restaurar 👍👍👍
Thankyou I’m glad it can help. I really like hearing that
@@perfeicaodaantiguidade4710 those are really cool my fc150 in earlier videos has a 1957 Jeep chassis
Nice
Thankyou
I subscribed
Awesome thanks Matt, I hope you like the videos
@@royworks28 yes I'm still watching them as you post them awesome videos to teach a diy guy
@@mattrobertson8265 thanks for the encouragement
@@royworks28 keep on making them I enjoy watching them!

i would laugh at your welds but mine look the same sometimes . I am restoring a 46 cj2a myself love your videos .
Hey Thanks Dann, if you think my welding is funny on video. You should see it in person it’s hilarious. But they hold I guess that’s all that counts 😂
Seemed to turn out pretty darn good if you ask me. I like how you chose to attempt to fabricate rather than purchase. Might as well try and learn something...good practice. Well done!
Hey thanks Mike, I’m looking forward to seeing your videos. The podcast was awesome

I use copper and brass for backing welds works well, clean it up with brake cleaner helps as well
Great job on the windsheild . looks good.
Thankyou CMac . Moving onto shocks and brake system
I thank that looks nice!
Thankyou it’s not perfect but it’s going to be fun to drive around.
Awesome job, looks great!
Thankyou very much
Nice practical advice for those of us tinkering on “non-perfect” Jeep’s and not wanting to spend a ton....Thanks!
Thankyou Mike,for understanding what I’m trying to do .

Thanks a lot Paul, I really appreciate that you get what I’m doing . Thanks for taking interest in the project
I am in the predicament you were in. What size pipe did you use and you didnt show what you did for the middle piece. Nice job!
I used 3/4” steel pipe that you would use for gas piping.6 minutes into the video I install the Willys embossing. Or do you mean the frame for the split window?
@@royworks28 I mean the piece between the 2 pieces of glass.
I have the weld pro welder also how do you like it ?
I like it , it’s definitely better than the harborfreight one I was using
@@royworks28 I'm restoring a 62 cj5 right now
My neighbor just got one also. I think that has the same chassis as my fc150
I have made my own channel from square tube stock by cutting off one side. A quick pass through the band saw made it easy.
That’s a good way to do it.definitely strong
First here!!!! 😁 Another great video!! And congrats your channel is growing nicely, and you deserve it! You put a lot of effort into what you do! I’ll say it again, your fabricating skills are great!!!
Thankyou my friend, no matter what my view and sub count is ,my group of friends I’ve got from doing this has definitely made it worth while.

Thanks for watching. I used 3/4” steel pipe. I’m a plumber so I used what I had.it worked really well it was easy to weld
