Thanks, I think you'd really like it. V8 under the hood of a super small and light CJ5 - sure makes for a fun ride :yup:

The Tedium is now made well worth the effort!!!
Wonderful job!..............Many Many years ago, I once completely stripped a 1954 Healey ........ even the dash and instrument panel as you have done!..............I remember getting more and more insecure the further I went!!..................But then!.................Just as you must feel...............She was restored and it was as if I had given Birth!!.................I feel, looking at that old beauty of yours that my 2013 JKU Sahara is far too luxurious and perhaps almost not deserving of the name Jeep!.....Ha! Ha!................Great Job you are doing there!!

Looks really good, I can't wait to see the finished product.
Dude, why so many periods? Makes it hard to follow along with what you're trying to say.

Wow Eddie, really coming along nicely. Love the color. And the gauge work certainly makes the dash come back to life.
LOL!! That's the idea. Fortunately, thanks to companies like Omix-ADA, it's a lot easier to do. :yup:
Thanks Rachel, we really appreciate it
It is funny how chrome can look so good on old iron :yup:
Us too. With Christmas coming up and the cold weather, it's been hard to get out and film and we can't move forward unless we film :rolleyes2:
Thanks! We're so glad that you're liking the videos :yup:
Thank you. We had seriously considered just buying new gauges but I'm glad that I decided to see if I could clean them up and restore them first.

Man that looks great! Love the color. I particularly love the dash with the way the gauges were back then. It would be cool if jeep did a special edition jeep with a throwback style dashboard

Looking really good. All that work you put into the gauges definitely paid off. Looks brand new!

Got a chance to spend a little more time on Jane today and got her seats with cleaned up and repainted seat brackets installed, hood reassembled and installed, windshield installed and even got all the dash lights working again. :yup:
Here's a shot of the seat brackets from the driver side. As you can see, Cindy and I cleaned them all up and hit them up with some new black paint.
Shot of the passenger side seat bracket.
Passenger side seat bracket folded and tumbled in the up position.
Here's a rear 3/4 shot of Jane with her windshield reinstalled.
Closer shot of the dash and windshield reinstalled.
This is a front shot of Jane with her windshield and hood on and all the hardware reinstalled.
Front 3/4 shot.
And finally, a shot of all her dash lights working.

So cool!!! A stupid question, the holes in the tub in front of the seat brackets. Are they so you can adjust the seats up or back?[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
