- The bottom of this Jeep CJ7's Tub needs a lot of Rust Repair. In this video, I cut out and replace several bad areas as well as fabricate some several new body mount captured nuts.
I have assembled a complete list of parts and many of the tools that I used during this rebuild in an Amazon Affiliate Store page which can be found at the following link: www.amazon.com...
All of this is being done to prepare this Tub to be reinstalled in my 1979 Jeep CJ7 which is slated to for an LS LM7 5.3L Engine swap.
Project Rowdy is a restoration on a 1979 Jeep CJ7 V8 Golden Eagle.

finally after waiting so long, welcome back🔥🔥🔥🔥
Even I cannot believe it has been this long.
Its a great day anytime Mike uploads a new video!
Thank you so much. Cheers to you! Mike
Yes, he gives me the confidence to do some of the same things on my Jeep. Thank you Mike!
Good to see you back. I've not progressed any on my 37 Chev PU but I'm determined to get back to it.
Great to hear from you again as well. Go put on your favorite music, clean up the area around the truck, organize all your tools and you will get the "Bug" again. That is what I plan to do today after lunch. Cheers! Mike
I owned an "80 CJ7, a '91 YJ, a '98 TJ now a '18 JLU. This brought back many memories. The '91 had many little improvements that Chrysler after buying Jeep had been factory installed. First was a seal on the firewall where you found the water leak from the missing seam seal. Also this gasket served two purposes, first it sealed the seam but also, as a cushion as the hinge pins for the hood would wear out causing the hood to be metal on metal contact. On old CJ's most people would place a split garden hose under the hinge at this area to stop the noise. (Cowl Seal, Hood to Cowl OE Reference: 55008119) The second item was an inner fender splash shield that was located at the rear of the inner fender to close the gap to the firewall (jeep yj fender splash shield 5501 0838) They also had Rear Corner Body Splash Guard to keep the road spray from going into the two rear corners. All these on my '80 jeep had been created out of aluminum and riveted into place by the previous owner. In the drivers rear corner was a check valve in the gas tank vent line to prevent leakage if you tipped over and the splash shields protected this area.
Can't wait to see the finished CJ!!! Thanks for the memories.
Thanks for sharing that information. I believe my drivers rear had a little shield that I took off and had no ideas what or why it was there. in that same area was the a Roll-over valve like you mentioned. These are really fun and somewhat simple vehicles. Love the fact that you have made all of the upgrades to new models. Cheers.... Mike
Nice work there, Mike!
Thank for your help moving that heavy thing around. Cheers!
Awesome to see a new video! Glad to see all is well Mike! Was started to get worried. Thanks again for all your knowledge n how to with your Video’s. Absolutely love them! 👍

I greatly appreciate you following along. Mike
Nice to see you back Mike! Nice job! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great to hear from you Jim and thanks for all of your support. Mike
Glad to see you're back. I just recently found your channel from your transmission videos. It was sad to see you stop posting for a while.
I think about / plan something for this Jeep about every day. I just can't seem to get into the shop to make it all happen. Mike
NICE!! Glad to see more content.
Thank you Sir! Hoping to be able to dedicate more time to it. I want to go for a ride!! Mike
Glad to see you still at it! I’m over in Gwinnett and doing the same to my 79.
Sweet! It will be a great day when we both get these ole Jeeps back on the road. Mike
Cool video. Starting my first project vehicle. Making one CJ-7 out of a 79 and an 84
@@Fred-rv2tu Sounds like you have a cool project starting. They are rather simple vehicles to work on. Enjoy your project. Mike.
Yes! My favorite channel is back! Looking forward to watching you progress on the CJ7.😀
Thank you Tom! I appreciate you following along. I'm looking forward to soon starting the re-assembly!!!!! Mike
Man, I’m glad to see you again bud, glad your back.
I was just checking out the channel yesterday. Welcome back!
Thank you Dan! Mike
Good to see you back on here. Was getting worried about you
Finally getting my ducks in a row. About time to reassemble!
Hey Mike, good to see ya back at it. If you recall my CJ7 project from a few years ago, I used UPOL bed liner under my tub after epoxy primer and it worked out really well.
Hey Bob... I do remember. I really liked the Cart you built to wheel your tub around. The land that I'm on is slanted, so that was not an option for me. I was jealous about that one. I am not looking forward to Raptor Lining this in my working space. Cheers! Mike
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Bobby! Mike
Finally!
Love it! Cheers to you Jake.
Yay glad you're back being waiting patiently on your project keep up the good work
Thank you John! Cheers… Mike
Happy to see new content! Enjoy watching your videos!
Thank you Jacob. I appreciate you following along. Mike
It's been a minute...but if you have a press (I thought you did) you could make a 2 part wood mold and press it so you don't get the dents from hammering it.
I do have a 12 ton press and that would have made a much better panel. You are spot on. I will try that next time.
Good point! When I needed to put a rib in a floor panel of an ‘81 Scrambler, I made the “negative” mold in a piece of 2x4, smoothed a piece of rebar the length I needed, and used a press to sandwich the patch panel between the rebar and wood. Worked like a charm!
I completely rebuilt the 5 cylinder diesel I put in mine. Then dropped it breaking the aluminum water line. I also rebuilt the turbo.. now I just need to put the new parts on. And try it
Sounds like the definition of 2 steps forward and 1 step back. Hope all works out for you! Mike
Question.. wouldn't you want to seal the body with epoxy primer then put your fiberglass/ body filler over that since it is porous? Then you would have to shoot over the filler with epoxy primer again to seal it in... otherwise it will allow water to move freely between the metal and the repair?
So, I’m not an expert, but from what I have gathered. Both short strand fiberglass and body filler can be applied direct to metal or after epoxy primer. For the perspective of porosity… odd filler is porous, but I believe that Fiberglass cures to more of plastic or non porous finish. I knew that I was going to be doing quite a bit of sanding to get the finish to where I wanted it and thought I would lay it down first. It will be top coated with Epoxy Primer to seal it prior to the finished top coat of bed liner. My next steps is to Epoxy Prime the bottom and when I do, I will hit this section as well. Mike.
💪👌✌️👍😁
Glad you enjoyed. Cheers... Mike
