Jeep CJ7

[Bando]

You've done a very good job on this jeep. I'm in the plans of building one myself, I have 1 1/2"x2" tubing for the frame. The print you have in the first part of your thread is not clear and so I looked it up, well it's not clear either; Some of the jeep sites also have prints as well and they are not clear. I'm having hard time finding a print that can be read clearly, I even got on E Bay and when I received it it wasn't a clear print; At the time I was looking for a Manuel that had all the specs, haven't located one yet.

You can not build the Jeep only with the internet. You need a real jeep to take all measures by yourself to avoid mistakes. I use internet photos for reference only and to see contour and shapes.

I got a sponsor for the body work and paint. The sponsor will choose the color. This week take him to the body shop.

Lookin' great. This is probably the one project I want to see completed more than any else. My only qualms here are the axle and rims. Maybe blast the axle then clear coat or oil it and then paint the rims, just my opinion.

Bando, you have color on the jeep?

 

[Bando]

The sponsor will choose the color.

After they choose their color, would you be able to repaint it later?
How did you go about getting a sponsor?

Someone on this forum built a scale replica of a military utility vehicle not long ago. He did an excellent job of it, and deserves all kinds of credit. However, I am a Jeep fanatic, so I am just amazed and thrilled by your Jeep! I envy your ability and patience.
