Are you going all stock? That Jeep will look great with a period correct restoration.

My plan is to keep it 100% stock down to the steel wheels and the 6.00x16 tires. I also have the factory steel top and doors that will be going back on it when it's finished. It is going to be a slow project but that is fine since I have my 66 to drive around in.

I will be starting the tear down this weekend. I will be taking a few hundred pictures on this project as it looks like everything is original and I want to do this one over correctly.

The plan for today is drop the wife off at the airport and start the tear down. I want to get the front end off today as well as the wiring under the hood and under the dash I will post pictures tonight.
Wise move to get her out of the country beforehand. Most men dont think of this move until the damage is already done.
Looking forward to seeing this.

I never thought of it that way. Good point I had the complete garage all to myself.Wise move to get her out of the country beforehand. Most men dont think of this move until the damage is already done.

A very good question it's a good thing the small Ref in the garage is always kept full.

Update # 2 I got the tub off of the frame today and started to clean off 50 years of dirt and old grease. Next step is to pull the engine and Transmission then start to sand blast the frame.
