OK Folks I am two weeks in to my 1976 CJ7 Resto project. I am about two years behind on the start date, but my baby boy arrived in 2011 and I broke my leg in 2013, so the old saying of better late than never applies.
I would not say that this is a restoration, but more of a rebuild. It will be close to original, but not a true restoration. I plan to have it back on the road this year, but you know what they say about a plan.
The end product will be a 1976 CJ7 QT, 4" Sup Lift, 1" Body Lift, 33x13.50x18s, custom fabed dash, bumpers, and cage, new/rebuilt AMC 304 , GM Turbo 400 , Dana 30 (FR), Dana 44 (R) and all new sup and bushings.
I will keep you all up to date on the progress.
As of las tnight:
Stage 1 (Tairdown)
