Pics of my CJ 7.....Finally!

[MadMax]

Well, I finally got my wife to take some pics of the CJ (I would have done it myself, but her camera equipment is off limits ). She, the CJ that is, isnt much....but Im slowly getting there.

And, of course, she made me get in it to take a picture.

Oh yea that's a good looking Jeep ya got there, What is that color it looks kinda like candy apple red?....

 

[MadMax]

Yeah, its pretty much candy apple red. But, I think it was called burnt auburn.

Thats a clean looking 7 I know your pain, I'm not allowed to touch my wifes camera either

 

[Amatatomba]

Nice. The color looks great. What else do you have planned for it?

 

[MadMax]

First thing is to complete it and I still have alot of engine issues I am trying to weed through. I am missing alot of little parts here and there. Then, some body work. Followed by a new paint job, small lift, and the biggest tires that I can fit on there.

hey madmax,that's a very good lookin jeep you have,great color too.what i'm wonderin though is where you found those big lights' in front if the grill,i'd like to have a pair of them for mine.good luck with your build.

 

[MadMax]

Those lights are good old HiLo O'Riely specials.

Madmax did you do 350 swap? what running gear? come on specs

 

[MadMax]

Yeah, I have a SBC 355 backed by a T-176 Transmission , Dana 300 transfer, and stock axles with 3.07 gears/posi in the rear. My uncle did most of the work when he restored the jeep, so I am still doing alot of research on all the parts he used. The engine was straight out of the junk yard (we think it was out of a 1969 van), the heads are off of a 1970 Camaro(again, we think), and its got an Edelbrock Performer RPM cam, intake, and 600cfm 4bbl performer carb. That's about it for now.

Sweeeet.. any plans for a lift, bigger tires, living in Texas you may have a Jeep stomping ground or 2.

 

[MadMax]

I might do a small lift, just to sqeeze some 33s under there. Its my daily driver so im still slowly going through everything before I take it somewhere other than the beach.

 

[jeepzj]

very nice.

Looks great. I wish my '7 looked that good! One of these days I will get off my gluteus and start refinishing the exterior. The seats will take a little longer!
