I was 7 years old and my daddy bought a project jeep for me to learn on. It was finished after my 9th birthday. We towed it to the deer club and daddy said I could drive it all I wanted on one condition.... I couldn't break it.... I was the luckiest boy in the world. I dreamed jeep dreams every night. This video brought it all back to me. Thank you so very much.
When I wore a younger mans clothes in 1976, many high school guys had Jeeps to offroad with. Big Tires , diamond plate and a great stereo. Those jeeps could go anywhere and they were great Vehicles. I wish I could go back.... Respects,
As a young man in 1979, my friend had one of the first Toyota Land Cruisers- kinda like a old jeep in my mind. I wish they built stuff that simple again so we Americans could afford it. Or like the old volkswagon beetle, the engine quit, you just ordered and dropped a new one into the car and kept going. Love the Videos. I am a hot car lover and have no interest in off road, but your videos are great for this Old Man. My Respects, RH DSD
Back in the 70s my dad use to get JC Whitney books. You could order them out of them. Every thing you needed to build a jeep. Was a big book of all kind of parts for cars and trucks.
@@brucedale4465 I dont know if JC Whitney catalog company still exists. In 1976, you could order fronts of cars in fiberglass, exhause cut outs, all kinds of things. I miss those old Catalog days and seeing parts in the back of Car and Engine mags. I miss My Youth.
I would much rather take the time to fit, drill, notch, & modify on that new tub and parts than deal with a rusty mess. That's looking sweet. Nice job.
Always wanted an old surplus Army jeep ever since I can remember. Used to see the ads for surplus jeeps in the old comic books, $500 jeep in a crate etc. Days long gone. I joined the Army in 89 and was lucky enough to drive an old jeep before we got our first Hummvees.
It was Jay who I worked with when I ordred an MRAP winch to M35A2 mounting brackets. He told me Clint was away that day, and he only had 1/2 inch steel to cut my mounts from, when it was usually 3/8 (or something like that). No extra charge for materials or shipping. That's one reason I'm still doing biz with C&C over 10 years later.
love the old jeeps! they are so customisable from original spec to insane 300BHP LSX V8 installation and rear wheel drive! (this is well documented this one lol) Thanks for something totally different to your normal and really looking forward to seeing how this one develops!
We had 2 jeeps at our ranch when I was a kid. A 42 Willy’s Jeep with the windshield the glass that lifts up or the entire windshield lays down. We also had aa 49 but the windshield only laid down. We would drive them up into the mountains, pull drags behind them to maintain our roads, hauls trailers full of sand for cement and much more. It’s were I learned to drive a standard and driving them on the mountain roads at 14 you learn the do’s and don’t real quick. They were fully restored to original condition with the exception of paint. They were painted a really cool metallic blue. We had them so long and got used and abused so much that we ended up needing to restore them a second time but it was more of a recondition and paint. We had a guy that lived here in my home town that went by the name of “Jeep a guy” as he ran a Jeep junk yard and it where we always found our parts and spare engines. Unfortunately we didn’t have someone like you around that would have made it much easier on us during restoration but we worked with what we had available to us. The 42 had the fully enclosed soft top with removable doors and hand powered windshield wipers “lol’’ while the 49 just had the soft top.
WOW ! Really enjoyed that. Didn't realize how much work it actually was to put one together. Thanks Fellas. Thank You Clint for taking the time to educate your viewers. 👍🇺🇲👏😊
We need Auto Manufacturing in the US to get back to the basics without all the whiz/bang add on gadgets that set a vehicle back $80,000. Just a simple turn key, no power nuthing except the brakes and steering, so Americans can afford and Work On their vehicles. Great to watch this build. Respects, Rh DSD
Now that is going to be a cracking little Jeep, can not wait to see it all done up painted and running like a good little Willy, thanks Clinton, Kevin, Uncle Scott, and CJ, nice to see you stand by what you sell.
That is awesome I have the same jeep that I learned to drive with. It has been sitting under a tarp since probably 1988. When I retire I'm going to restore it so I will be definitely talking to uncle Scott! Thanks again for the great content!
This was an awesome project. Something different. I found it funny that most everything on the Jeep you didn't need a crane or a forklift to get in and out like most of the big iron machines you usually work on. Must have been nice for all of you. Thanks for sharing.
1967🤔1968 I was a young pup, my dad bought a 1943 Willys Jeep with duals all the way around and posy rear. We were in Eureka, AK on the South side of Monument Mountain. Alaska 🤔 I'm almost sure it's the only place were there's a swamp on the side of a mountain.🤨😕. We were hunting caribou above the treeline and we got stuck💩 poo-buckets. My brother and I walked several miles back to get someone's dunnage. In the mean time my dad had made a five point 'deadman'. He hooked a cable between one set of front dues and strung it to the deadman and back to between the other set of front duels. We worked the dunnage under the Willys' tires. My dad put it in low low 4x4 and slowly drew up the extra cable evenly. My brother and I pushed as my dad let out the clutch the tires spun and the Jeep climbed the cable right out of the swamp. 🤟😁 Had to take off one outer duel to get the cable out but hey we were out.
Really enjoyed seeing this go together guys it sure made for great viewing bro. Be interesting to see what color it turns out to be, some kind of camo would be neat although with the black top it may not work well. Safe travels
Checked out your website. The kit is surprisingly cheap in my opinion. Expected at least double of what you charge. Definitely would be worth it if you have an old jeep that needs extensive body work. Probably be cheaper in the long run in time, money and labor to go with a kit like this than try to fix a body that needs tons of work.
Yes, the body from MD Juan may not be perfect showroom ready by todays standards but it’s not rusty. It’s always surprising to see how small they actually are.
Good to see the restoration of such a great little vehicle that was a real workhorse in a time of need. I had the great pleasure of working with my elder brother who had the Action Vehicles contract on the film The Eagles Have Landed filmed at Maple Durham on the river Thames. 13 Willies Jeeps some bought for the film others hired from collectors. A White halftrack and two UK Bedford I think QL trucks One was set on fire the other was the pretty one. A 1930s car I think it was a Vauxhall with MGB engine and box, as the car going to land in a lake and the owner didn't want a ceased engine. Each jeep played the part of many more and new had extra numbered bonnets that were quickly changed. These numbers were researched to a US army unit stationed in the UK at that time. The story line was of German paratroopers flown in to assonate Churchill, and a US patrol came upon them. Thanks for posting and stirring my brain way back to the 1970s.
Great video..! Clinton, I predict after this video series is complete, sales will increase, this video alone highlights the ease, and maybe some frustrations of doing a project like this. You pointing out the need for pre-assembly, and various inherent “tweeks” here and there are great. Thank you sir.
This was different…it looks like a matchbox toy compared to the dozers you normally work on! Yeah, let’s see Kevin paint something that small! He can do it in his sleep probably! 😂😂 Thanks Clinton!
Thanks Team Jeep… this is a lovely little project, a jump away from the usual great content, and it’s fascinating watching body language changing as progress is made… thanks for sharing. I’m looking forward to part 2 🤝🤝
I noticed that wimpy looking single sided front shackle. It looks weak but probably performed amazing back in “the day”. Cool to see you guys showing jeep body stuff. Thanks
Good documentary on the project, unique details, I even watch the commercials for Y'all. Showing how to do it better, kudos! I personally like the Spot welds, more industrial, more original. I find smoothed bodies look fake and even plast-icky with modern paint finishes. In rebuilds I try to smooth the flat areas and crisp edges, leave the creases and spot weld divots. Awesome project with the fam!
Like seeing the Jeep build. Really interesting to see how it looks with replacement parts. Looks like original steel tub. Remember when they had fiberglass replacement ❤
That’s going to be a sweet little CJ Jeep when it’s all said and done. Smart move getting everything fit before it goes to Kevin (Mr. paint) to slicker up. Again, quality by C&C, do it right, do it once, thanks for the ride along gentlemen.
I remember back in the 50's you could buy a surplus Army Jeep that came disassembled in a crate like that for $500.00. They had a running ad in Mechanics Illustrated magazine.
Thats cool, nice to have parts nearby too. Can't wait to see it done. You wouldn't happen to have 79 Ford inner box panels mixed in with those Jeep parts would ya? Wishful thinking... Keep smilin
I've got a 3a body kit project going on here. But I am converting the CJ to a DJ and that is a bunch of little changes to the tub. And of course, a few hundred holes to drill!
Cool y'all have parts to keep those old horses road worthy. I found this channel because Matt over @DieselCreek got a Hummer cover from you guys. But the dead dozer rehabs really set the hook.
I wonder how many bolts break before this projects done? Kevin will need to be fed to bring out his best work so Jay will have to open his 👛 👜 a few times don't forget snacks, an interesting project I'm looking forward to
Don't rush the assembly, take your time so you don't make wrong holes in wrong places. Wish I had a.nice jeep! My dad had a jeep! He made white side walls with house paint! Cool huh! That was back in the 40s. Before I come Along. I never even saw it. Not even a photo. Just dads description and an old hard rubber gearshift knob he kept in a Mason jar for30 or 40 years and.I discovered when I raided the nuts and.bolts collection in the garage as a child. Brings back memory's! HE was.in the Navy. Thanks guys! Hope ya git er all buttoned up! Nice ol rellick!
Great video, was wondering where you guys were, the Jeep body looks great, was surprised you didn't sell a frame, engine of some sort....notice how I typed engine and not motor....and a transmission. Ok old retired truck driver, and certified crazy gear-head here, the wife and I enjoy the videos. God Bless take care to all of you there...................see ya...........
If you paint it John Deere yellow it will be hard to loose in the woods. Kevin likes yellow paint. You guys remind me of the Ford Museum where the Visitors build a Model T every day. Great experience.
I love those old jeeps. I had a 1957 Willy's Pickup It had a Super Hurricane 6 cyl. I wish I would of never got rid of..The jeep is looking good. Great Video...
Willeys designed these, sold them to the military then got pretty much cut out of production because they didn't have the capacity to make them. Ford made most of them.
Willies did not design the jeep or (gp) Batam designed and was awarded but they did not get the contract to produce them. Everybody and there brother produced them. Batam being a smaller company made trailers for the gp during ww2
It is so refreshing to see someone with such integrity to see that a project is so done so correctly. Well done!!! I for one have subscribed & Liked so I can follow this to the of your project!!!!!
I had a 76 CJ5 and it was a rag top and rag doors also. Damn cold in the winter in Maine. Couldn't go over 50 mph or the heater couldn't keep up and you'd freeze your feet and butt off in that thing. Wake up in the morning and the damn thing would be full of snow. It would melt after driving some but then you had a floor pan full of sloshing water.
I bought a 47 CJ2A in 1973 when I was 14 years old. 4 cylinder, flat head. 3 speed on the floor. Top speed about 40 mph. The park brake on the drive shaft is usless.
Great video. A wartime MB is worth a fortune here in the UK and I did help a mate restore one about 20 years ago. I am surprised how similar the early CJ is and I really like the tailgate feature. If only I had a little more space at home.
Yeah Clint, been waiting for this! Old Jeeps are great! CJ stands for civilian jeep. ( yj yesterday j, tj today j, xj extrem j) My dad was a Jeepster, had 6 all yj's, 3 to plow, 1 parts, 1 for off-road, 1 Sunday driver ( very low miles, excellent shape added v8, lift kit, all ss lines...you name it) Very nice build guys, found memories helping my dad.... he would of been watching this, all except soft top, he hated them, HARD TOP....or no top! He would of for sure bought parts from Jeff. Anyway THANK YOU Mr. Clint appreciated and enjoyed this ONE, best regards from O hi Oooo.
I'll make you guys feel better about your "process". In the manufacture of the Fuselage for a C-130H Super Hercules (the kind that sometimes over fly your shop), it's the same process. Load up all the Ribs/Spars/Longerons into the main Jig, place all the skins over that assembly, drill and cleco all the holes ... then disassemble the entire structure so the skins and mating Ribs/Spars/Longerons can be "Dimpled" by hand. Then reassemble all of it and manually buck solid AD Rivets, bolts, etc. ... there are 72,000 fasteners in a Single Fuselage's Sides/Top. LOL So yeah, I enjoyed your video and approve of your process. Looking forward to the next 2 parts y'all.
I got the CJ2A frame and complete body kit from you and it has been great. I am so glad I didn’t try to rebuild the original frame and body. I don’t mind all the little spot, welds, and things like that. I’m just gonna dent it all up off roading anyway. The minor adjustments you have to make extremely offsets the amount of work I would’ve had in the old body and frame.
I was 7 years old and my daddy bought a project jeep for me to learn on. It was finished after my 9th birthday. We towed it to the deer club and daddy said I could drive it all I wanted on one condition.... I couldn't break it.... I was the luckiest boy in the world. I dreamed jeep dreams every night. This video brought it all back to me. Thank you so very much.

experience, attention to detail, refusal to allow mediocre work to pass through the shop. Clint, you always impress.

The Jeep build is a lot more interesting then I thought it would be. Can't hardly wait for the next video. Great job guys.😃😃😃🚙

Thanks for sharing this, Jeep assembly. I am glad you shared this for seeing whats to look forward to.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Miss C thinking about the cost of all this fun lol
It’s going to look awesome Clint but that’s a lot of work great video
Flat fender jeeps are stackable if you put the one on top backwards. That is the reason for the massive fender bracket.
I remember back in the 50's you could buy a surplus Army Jeep that came disassembled in a crate like that for $500.00. They had a running ad in Mechanics Illustrated magazine.
nice assemble line a lot of work fitting
Ohhhhhhh my God another C&C comedy hour 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 my side's are hurting.... great job guys we really love your channel 👍👍👍
great video just love to see you guys working no matter what the project 👏👏👏👍👍
Nice Jeep kit Clint, one item I would put into the jeep is a roll cage, my buddy rolled his now his left arm is 2 inches shorter than the other.
Awesome job. I worked on ol Jeep some years ago. Had v8 Buick engine I removed an reinstalled it.
Thats cool, nice to have parts nearby too. Can't wait to see it done. You wouldn't happen to have 79 Ford inner box panels mixed in with those Jeep parts would ya? Wishful thinking... Keep smilin

He would of for sure bought parts from Jeff. Anyway THANK YOU Mr. Clint appreciated and enjoyed this ONE, best regards from O hi Oooo.
I'll make you guys feel better about your "process". In the manufacture of the Fuselage for a C-130H Super Hercules (the kind that sometimes over fly your shop), it's the same process. Load up all the Ribs/Spars/Longerons into the main Jig, place all the skins over that assembly, drill and cleco all the holes ... then disassemble the entire structure so the skins and mating Ribs/Spars/Longerons can be "Dimpled" by hand. Then reassemble all of it and manually buck solid AD Rivets, bolts, etc. ... there are 72,000 fasteners in a Single Fuselage's Sides/Top. LOL So yeah, I enjoyed your video and approve of your process. Looking forward to the next 2 parts y'all.
I got the CJ2A frame and complete body kit from you and it has been great. I am so glad I didn’t try to rebuild the original frame and body. I don’t mind all the little spot, welds, and things like that. I’m just gonna dent it all up off roading anyway. The minor adjustments you have to make extremely offsets the amount of work I would’ve had in the old body and frame.
