Nice jeep. I just bought the the same year, with what looks like the same fiberglass body. I like the full rollbar- mine only has the rear portion- I want to look into tying it into the frame. I also have a friend custom making me two seat brackets out of aluminum. The way the PO installed the seats makes the bikini top hit my head while driving.
 
Like the roll bars! painting those up and slapping them back in are going to make it look almost like a new ride. Tires seems decent and the rims...well just paint them black and it would look awesome.

Thanks, im gonna get new tires tho want like 10.5's those are 12.5's. but yeah i wanna clean the rims up (dont know why just get full of mud ha) not gonna paint them tho just clean them up
 
Is the hood and fenders on hinges or does it just come off. Some pics of that would be neat.
 
I can take pictures of how its set up if you want that was just a picture of when i got it a few years ago i already had one here. Idk how it was done tho it was like that when i got it.

But as an update to this build, i just got my car outta the garage today so hopefully be doing some more work on the jeep soon

Colby - when you have time, some pictures of how the hood is hinged and how the radiator is mounted would be much appreciated. My 75 is set up the same way, but it was really hacked together. Yours looks much nicer.
Thanks - Bill
