i know, old video, but i still hope you read this, i've been going though a tough time recently, and discovered your videos and started bindge watching them, and its actaully made me laugh alot, and i'm learning alot about how to reuse old stuff at the same time. so thank you
My first vehicle was a 1956 CJ. All stock drive train but fully restored. Mustang bucket seats. Dark blue. White steel cab. Except for burning up the valves (twice) we had a lot of fun with it. Took a girl on our first date in it. We’ve now been married 51 years. Great memories. Great life.
Thanks! There were a few times where I had to walk away from it for a bit, but that's why I work on more than on car at a time. Just shift gears for a while and then you can get it back going again!
That makes sense! I had to go out and take a look, there's some remnants of old mounting brackets on the back of it, and it looks like it used to be wider and the outside edges were chopped off. I think you called that one!
This is an older video but I gotta say, I've been binging a lot of your stuff the last couple days and it's been very inspirational. I finally got off my ass and did a lot of projects that have been sitting around using your can-do attitude!
Very hard to get me to sit through 43 minutes of a TH-cam video. However watch this one through in one sitting :) Amazing the amount of punishment this CJ had been through. Loved your commentary and your adapt 'n overcome attitude. Look forward to more jeep videos, now subscribed. I have an M201 I brought back from France, learnt a lot more about it today.
Thanks, I really appreciate that! I've got updates in the works on that Jeep, and a new one coming up that I should finish building by the end of the summer.
Ah, the old "good enough is perfect". Enjoyed the video. Not nearly as ambitious but I've got a 40 year old riding mower that I've been using for 35 years, patching and keeping running. There's a certain satisfaction there.
That was a very cool video, and it was funny that at the very end I thought, "Hey, that desert looks familiar." And then I saw the mountains. We're basically neighbors. Cool!
@@LowBuckGarage No doubt! From your vids I can tell basically where you're centered and recognize that dirt. (Not to be divulged here in public, obviously) BUT, I can tell you that the chances of seeing you out in the dirt given our proximity and overlapping passion is almost a certainty. We probably will run into each other at some point. I too frequent that general area. Look for a red YJ with white doors and tall antennas on the back, lol.
This was very therapeutic to watch you at work. I especially liked your comment regarding the existence and use of small size wrenches, assuming anyone who hasn't worked on a car less than 50 yrs old would know! Real Jeeps truly are built. Not bought. Imagine going down the road in a '69 Corvette convertible on a beautiful sunny Southern California afternoon with the top down and the complete rear axle of your beloved '60 Willys Utility Wagon propped up in the passenger seat! Not exactly a leggy blonde or brunette, but I couldn't have been more proud or less in love!!
I remember that the old J.C.Whitney company used to sell complete fiberglass or steel tubs for these classics, made the job a bit easier to restore but there was not much of a cheap factor to the price of these items.
Nothing feels like having a sketchy motor you just put back together come to life. (4 a guy anyway) Love your attitude and skill set. I would definitely have gotten bogged down a few times (Fluids, brake, shock) but not sure I would have invested in the new antifreeze. Subscribed.
Thanks! Actually, I'm regretting the antifreeze, because I found out afterward that there's no thermostat. Now I can't bring myself to drain it down...
@@lancekreis3645 Those other two are going to be built separately, so I'm going to baseline those at $500 each also. Not really sure which one was the most (least) valuable, but splitting the cost evenly seemed like the most reasonable way to do it.
Should be called “MacGyver Garage.” This is also how I do things. Like you I get a lot of satisfaction from figuring stuff out for myself and just getting things to work. Loved the video and subscribed.
Interesting build:-) I worked on that stuff since I was a kid my first truck was a 1940 Ford pickup drove it home for 75 bucks from a 88 year-old polish farmer in Wisconsin to our farm about 5 miles away. I bought two Jeeps from an old man in the hills in Arkansas I built the homestead myself it was right in the mountains had no shop so I tied a nylon rope between two oak trees and went and spent my last dollars to get a come-along hand-cranked cable I just rebuilt my 79 CJ7 in bare feet out of the yard in southern Missouri now Ten Years Later with without a shop but it's looking good two coats of Dupli-Color bed line paint
Just discovered your channel. Thank you so much for this video. I love your philosophy. Because of watching this video I’ve learned to add timelines and channels to my own TH-cam channel. I also have the Jeep addiction, and in my low income retirement need to work on them the way you seem to work on yours. I am the proud owner of a 1951 Willys Overland pickup which somebody actually put on to a ‘78 K5 Blazer frame (running), as well as a 1951 Willys Wagon with an odd fire V6 from Buick and no brakes (running in a few months I hope), and then there is a 1975 AM General DJ5-D Postal Supervisor’s Jeep, left hand drive which most closely meets your philosophy of “should I fix it or should I play with it?” Sadly I sold off my 1955 CJ 5 which I had disassembled then left outside in the Pacific Northwest rain to rust. I miss it kind of sort of, but I have enough to work on. Now I have to watch a whole bunch more of your videos. Thanks again for the training.
Reminds me of my buddy who past away after smashing up a modified vw bug in California..that was Henry Rojle..helped me put the engine in my 61 MINI..1st class Machinery repairman USN
Used to use Devcon aboard ship in the Navy. Then they came out with Belzona, there are two grades one like the Devcon, and a second that is actually machinable. We would use the machinable grade to repair damaged gate valve gates. Great Stuff
I have a 47 CJ2A that my local high school was going to do in 2019, but Covid killed it... they painted it but that's it. Going to put a Ford 200 inline 6 in it. I'd like to visit with you if possible on the phone or zoom. Thank you! Coach Al...
I have seen a few inline 6 swaps, but they're hard to fit in the short engine bay. Most involve moving the firewall. You're looking at around 6-10" longer, and there's not a whole lot of extra room to spare. Unless you're set on that particular motor, I would consider a V-6 instead. The best way to get to me is email, james@stickshiftzj.com
My son is a year and a half away from his first vehicle and wants an older Jeep, probably gonna be a CJ5 but I think I need a CJ-2A. Subscribed, thanks for the inspiration.
We must be kindred spirits. I have a '73 CJ5 that I call Humpty Dumpty. It had a huge crack all the way across the side of the block that I stitch repaired. It is back in the jeep after a ring job and running. Im not doing a "frame off" either, but it will get paint. Less then $25.00 of tractor paint on clearance from Cal ranch. Your seat brackets have inspired me, mine are gone too. Thanks for the video and happy salvaging.
WOW!!! Now THAT was fun!!! I presume the gas tank leak repair was with a product we'll nick name JB. Since you used screen (a trick I gotta remember) shoulda worked great, except for the paint! I bet If you stripped the paint(say =, using a chemical I KNOW you have - think brakes!) will make that next fix permanent! Used "JB" on a crack on the ihoop section of a motorcycle tank once - Like A Charm!!! Another great, entertaining video!!!
I had a '71 Willys with an F-head 134 c.i. engine. The #4 cylinder (closest to the firewall) always burned hot, and was the source of MANY problems. Turned out to be an issue with the passageways for coolant in that area being an issue. Wound up getting in there with a Dremel on a long extension, and "ported" the passageways without compromising the wall thickness anywhere. Solved that problem, and from then on a PLEASURE to go off-roading with confidence. Good luck on your project. It's more that just fun in the dirt and turning wrenches, it's HISTORY.
New subscriber here. Great entertainment and tech tips. Brings back memories of when I had two CJ 2As in high school that became one runner and a lot of fun Keep on having fun
you had me at "well, the proper fix would be this, but I am not go do that" :-D like so many others, i loved this vid and your style. subscribed and will watch more. thanks!
I really like how this guy explains what he is doing and show&tell whats importent to look for on different parts. Thats exactly the stuff you wont read in Books . Also the willingly sharing what went wrong and why! Instead of just not talk about it... Lots to learn here. I really like his channel and Videos! Greetings from Germany
95% of us would get to dead end #37 (not to mention that not one of the aftermarket parts worked) and that would be IT!! The thing would set there in the barn for years to come.
Haha! Great video! I had a 55 CJ5. It was a years long learning experience. The fuel tanks on these things are a hoot. The bottom of mine wore from rust and rubbing on the floor. I discovered this one day as I was motoring and noticed that my feet were all slippery. Gas sloshing on the floor was responsible. Lucky for me the floors were full of rust holes. I got rid of my cigarette in a hurry when I figured out what was going on. That just one of a long list of fun that I had with that. I finally blew it up trying to pull a full sized Ford out of the mud. I miss it.
Neat mostly rebuilt or restored the old MB Willys and fords, and M38 and M38A1s yeah the last one took 3 jeeps to make one. was neat experience building/rebuilding their wish had done more videos while working on them but only took pictures to document the building work and show how far most of them were in restoration. I build fix so many but still not gotten one of my own to enjoy. Thanks for sharing the video this I enjoyed. Trouble getting one of these ends up bringing it back to near new condition but perfectionist is my fatal flaw
To fix a fuel tank, try using borax on a brazing rod. At the same time having a air hose blowing fresh air in the tank. No fumes in tank. Borax helps the brazing rod flow nicely on to the steel tank. Also many folks didn,t know there is a grease fitting on the inside of each rear wheel. I have a few C. J,s old kickstart
I know this video is old but it's the first time I've seen it. As far as the hole in the air filter housing goes I've had luck using a rivet or a nut and bolt and sealer. Great video's
Nice collection of jeeps. I sold my cj3a. And the two willys trucks I’m down to 2 cj jeeps. 77 cj5 and a 78 cj7 The cj7 is getting a diesel and is being turbo charged
There were two types of Jeep 4 cyl. head gaskets. One was essentially a piece of metal sandwiched between two pieces of asbestos, the other was a piece of asbestos sandwiched between to pieces of metal (such as you purchased). The gasket with the asbestos on the outside was the best because it allowed for some of the surface irregularities in the Jeep blocks and heads (especially when doing field repairs).
Truly low buck car fun! And even if you add a windscreen, left front shock and fix the 4wd you still have a driveable car to play with between the renching. Good prioritys!
Really enjoyed this video. Anytime you can make something fun out of nothing and have a good time doing.it then have fun using it , this is a good project. I have done this on many a derelict VW . Have always wanted a flat fender , maybe sometime.👍😄🎩
Thanks, I appreciate hearing that. I really debated if it was too long and considered chopping it up into multiple parts. Glad I went with it all in one shot!
You need to put together an engine swap kit for the little jeeps that uses a cheap motor like the Kia 2.7 v6. Every junk yard is litters with them and all they need is 2 valves and a timing belt. They are compact little v6 engines that put out really good power.
Hey you have done a great job with that old jeep it takes a lots of experience and know how I wish i got a person like you closed buy i have a 2001 wrangler in pretty decent shape..Hey nice video
a friend of mine uses one of those boat gastanks in an old black london cab that had a leaky fuel tank, they work great for pretty much everything, and they have a decent capacity
For modern cars the ignition wrenches are used for other areas where you need that size in the car. Yes they are still needed to get to some of the parts like the side interior panels off to get to the fuse boxes.

I hope things get better for you.
“There’s a crack in the block here, here, here, here, and here. I’m just gonna glue it!”
Sold! Liked and subscribed, Good Sir! 😂😂😂
Glad you liked it, thanks! And BTW, the motor's holding up fine, apparently the glue was the right fix...
I like a guy that paints first then does the rest of the build...shows confidence...
Either that, or "I should have looked under it first"! Once you paint it, you're committed...
Just different ways of looking at it. lol
"there are proper ways to fix it, im not going to do those" Epic🤣🤣🤣🤣

CJ-what?
CJ 5
Nice

I'm impressed the way you never got blocked, the way I would, encountering one project showstopper after another.
Thanks! There were a few times where I had to walk away from it for a bit, but that's why I work on more than on car at a time. Just shift gears for a while and then you can get it back going again!
I like your chill demeanor... Definitely how we all aspire to be when building a new toy
That front bumper looks like a factory rear tow bumper off an old Willys or International pickup. Pretty ingenious repurpose of old truck parts.
That makes sense! I had to go out and take a look, there's some remnants of old mounting brackets on the back of it, and it looks like it used to be wider and the outside edges were chopped off. I think you called that one!
I learned to drive in my grandfathers old flat fender out in the gullies and washes surrounding the Salton Sea in the SoCal desert. Great memories...
Same for me. A GPW around the mountains of SE Oklahoma.
You sir are a hero to us busted AZ no$ folks formerly called shade tree mechanics.

Problems? Nah! Just solutions. I feel there is a large amount of engineering genes in you. Great video.
Thanks!
This guy is living the dream
Maybe so but have a real hard time trying to watch his vids, between the way he babbles and he's pretty much a hack versus doing things the right way
This was great ! You are very funny and entertaining. Good old-school mechanic too 👍
Thanks, I sure appreciate hearing that!
Your methods are unorthodox and your approach is refreshing.
Very impressive!
Thanks, I really appreciate that!
There are proper ways to fix this, I'm not going to do those... LOLOL I love it! Subbed.

Absolutely, its better to keep things chugging along than let them sit waiting for perfection!
you old timers sure know how to keep the right mindset and not start throwing wrenches
That was a very cool video, and it was funny that at the very end I thought, "Hey, that desert looks familiar." And then I saw the mountains. We're basically neighbors. Cool!

Glad I could help, its good that you're keeping another one going!
When in doubt glue it! Just found this channel really like what you do.
Thanks, I sure appreciate that!
I would rather have this Jeep than any 20K UTV. Nice ride!!
I remember that the old J.C.Whitney company used to sell complete fiberglass or steel tubs for these classics, made the job a bit easier to restore but there was not much of a cheap factor to the price of these items.
I used to wear out those catalogs pouring over all that bolt-on goodness. Thanks for the flashback!
Sears also had a Jeep catalog
Roadkill!
Doin' the wrong thing, the right way. Every time.
Love that little Jeep. Nice video. Thanks for showing it to us. 👍
$949.02, that there is one nice budget build! Congratulations on getting that motor actually running 👍☮️
Thanks! The motor still starts right up and runs great to this day, kind of surprising!
Thanks for the humor in your video. I was laughing at all your comments which made for good entertainment.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
I think I just found a new TH-cam channel to watch. I love budget stuff like this & you've got a great attitude. Makes it really easy to watch

but not really a $950 jeep if you bought $1500 worth of jeeps to build it.
@@lancekreis3645 Those other two are going to be built separately, so I'm going to baseline those at $500 each also. Not really sure which one was the most (least) valuable, but splitting the cost evenly seemed like the most reasonable way to do it.
Definition of underrated channel
Thanks, glad you like it!
I think I know what I'm going to do do, is use some of that glue. Best line ever! I know have the confidence to work on an old jeep. Thank you!
The yellow wheels really make that project work.

good show lots of helpful info thanks john
Thanks!
That seat mount is too nice!!!!!!!!!!! Lol
repairs that would have been done back in the 40s, people didnt just throw something away. theyd fix whatever they could, however they could
Seat and brackets are very nice! See, you can do good work when you want to! 😆
That was a great video! Very entertaining!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just love your attitude and approach.
Thanks!
Nice collection of jeeps.
I sold my cj3a. And the two willys trucks
I’m down to 2 cj jeeps. 77 cj5 and a 78 cj7

There were two types of Jeep 4 cyl. head gaskets. One was essentially a piece of metal sandwiched between two pieces of asbestos, the other was a piece of asbestos sandwiched between to pieces of metal (such as you purchased). The gasket with the asbestos on the outside was the best because it allowed for some of the surface irregularities in the Jeep blocks and heads (especially when doing field repairs).
That's great info, I never know that! Is there any chance they still make those? I have 2 more L-heads to go...
Contact Peter DeBella Jeep Parts, or Army Jeep Parts. Be sure to specify which head gasket you are looking for.
@@LowBuckGarage Check Mullins Jeep Parts | eBay Store to see a picture of the head gasket I described.
Somebody didn't know Willis value.
I mean that's the cheapest jeep build ever. This guy knows his stuff.
You got more luck with glue I'm thinking u got a sponsor their
I'm in N Phoenix putting around in my CJ. Great for desert exploring!
I've watched this 100 times
Truly low buck car fun! And even if you add a windscreen, left front shock and fix the 4wd you still have a driveable car to play with between the renching. Good prioritys!
Thanks!
bodgers are us glad you ain't fixing my motor lol the only good bit was the seat bracket you made now that was a great bit of craftmanship.
Absolutely loving this stuff!!! Subbed.
Awesome, thank you!
Smiles per miles. Love it.
That seat frame is nice I know what I’m going to do on my build
God love this jeep. Old Red likes to be driven.
Nice job man!
incredible,love the jeep...
Brilliant work very impressive
Thanks!
Really enjoyed this video. Anytime you can make something fun out of nothing and have a good time doing.it then have fun using it , this is a good project. I have done this on many a derelict VW . Have always wanted a flat fender , maybe sometime.👍😄🎩
Absolutely! I used to spend a lot of time playing with leftover VW's, too...
My son and I are a lot like you! We make things work with what we got! Ha! Have fun and keep on with the videos!
That's the way to do it, and I'm glad you've got another generation working on stuff, too!
Nice video; I like your style. I love that at 29:42 it appears to show rust falling off the Jeep.
I enjoyed the hell out of this vid! I like your style!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
This makes me feel much better about the bo bo junk I work on. Nice job.
Thanks!
Great vid...you earned a new sub, looking forward to your future projects...Jeep’s rock, still own my bought new 1998 Wrangler SE.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! I've got a lot more Jeep stuff in the works, already started on a J-10 and one of the other 2A's, plus more to come...
Funny stuff man! Thanks for the long format, many channels would milk this out over several months!
Thanks, I appreciate hearing that. I really debated if it was too long and considered chopping it up into multiple parts. Glad I went with it all in one shot!
Best two part liquid epoxy I have used is called. Marine tex . Will even harden under water . Real good stuff
I'll have to try that, I've got more junk motors to put together!
Z spar is good too.
Tolles Video.... Danke dafür!!!
👍👏✌️
You're welcome!
Sophisticated steering column adjustment @36:20. Yikes, but I giggled.
You need to put together an engine swap kit for the little jeeps that uses a cheap motor like the Kia 2.7 v6. Every junk yard is litters with them and all they need is 2 valves and a timing belt. They are compact little v6 engines that put out really good power.
Thanks for the info, I've never looked into those motors. I'll check them out.
Hey you have done a great job with that old jeep it takes a lots of experience and know how I wish i got a person like you closed buy i have a 2001 wrangler in pretty decent shape..Hey nice video
Thanks 👍
Very good video, it was almost like a good news bad news story, amusing to..........
Thanks! I kinda felt the same way with the highs and lows as it came together...
a friend of mine uses one of those boat gastanks in an old black london cab that had a leaky fuel tank, they work great for pretty much everything, and they have a decent capacity
I really like it, I'm planning on keeping it in and using that old tank for a different project.
you work is amazing dude keep it up
Thanks a lot!
Awesome video
Thanks!
For modern cars the ignition wrenches are used for other areas where you need that size in the car. Yes they are still needed to get to some of the parts like the side interior panels off to get to the fuse boxes.
Yeah, but they're not metric. I haven't open my pouch of ignition wrenches since the '90s. Won't get rid of them, though!
