Build Thread 83 CJ7 its time to get it done

[gert]

Just wondering for future reference. Replaced Windshield a long time ago. They reused old rubber seal and leaked. Took it back couple times but still leaked. Finally sealed it myself. I doubt it is reusable again

When I get this figured out and bought I will gladly share the gory details

Both times I've replaced windshield frames I've used new seals. I never heard of them being reusable. I've had a glass place install mine both times just cause I don't trust myself.

Yea that's what i was thinking. Probably 20-25 years ago I brought it to safelite with an aftermarket seal and they did not use it and I ask why. Guy said he couldn't get it to work. Well reusing the old not so well either. Brought it back and still leaked. Finally just sealed it myself

I have a YJ tub and W/S frame that have both been modded to accept a CJ dash and heater box. When I had new glass put in the frame, I had the glass shop do it, and he made it look simple - but I didn't wanna open that can of worms. And zero leaks...

I haven’t looked at his site/blog in awhile but a member here has http://www.certifiablejeep.com. And he has documented several YJ tub swaps, he goes all out welding up different mounting holes and everything I just created the holes for the CJ tailgate to work and the brackets for the cables and then cut the middle section of the cowl out and welded in a new piece to replicate the CJ cowl, I stopped there after that I started filling left over bolt holes with bolts lol

Don't know anything about that one. Watching a CJ8 / CJ10 mixture of pieces coming together. Double single roll bar 2 in the bed 1 in the cab

Here's a pic of the Cj truck he's working on. Haven't heard or seen anything on the Cuda. Can't see how he'd have time with this project going on.

I keep seeing these CJ trucks and am really liking them, I think I still wanna build an MB on full float D44s first

Playing with the side side side project a 1918 Ford Model T door hole, I got some POR 15 metal prep after it and it still works great

Apparently the patent office was busy in 1911 with some neat stuff

Today I found out that 102 year old wood smells the same as new wood when you burn a drill bit thru it..... I can’t believe the stuff hasn’t turned to dust over all these years
