- 1960 CJ5, Chevy 350, m-21 trans, Dana 20, Dana 44, and 30. Chevy power steering. 6 point roll cage, front receiver bumper.
I am about to paint my CJ5 . If I use acrylic emanel to spray it with I should get a decent paint job yes er no? The outside of the jeep's paint is in bad shape, I figured I could go fairly cheap with the enamel as compared to a laquer paint. and then get it good in a couple of years when the finances are looking better(I hope). I am fixing all the rusty spots, 90% surface rust. The only bondo is on the front fenders were they brazed metal to fix were the middle supports are, and where they replaced a panel on the passenger side but did not seal it very well.
I think I may even replace the front fenders when I repaint it in a few years.
Do the earlier straight fenders fit on a 1960, like the old military ones? I saw some on craiglist that had never been installed for $200 for the pair, still primed and rapped in plastic. And seeing what they cost on the web else where I know that is a steel now.
Like I said I have a tight budget now as the daughter is about to start college so I figure in 4-5 years she should be done with that, unless she really soes go to med school then all bets are off.
