My 49 Willys..
« on: November 20, 2008, 09:03:27 AM »
Redirected from the wanted section..

I would like to introduce my \"new\" 1949 CJ3a

Spents its whole life on a hunting camp in the southern tier so there is no rot on the frame or body.. just good old 59yr  rust..

Plans are..

1. get the stupid hilbilly half top off.
2. go through the drivetrain (that is still in good shape with 40K on it)  replace parts as needed..
3. New body and interior..
4. Saturn overdirve

I plan on a body off restoration... meaning just cosmetic..
of course I will prep and clean as I go.. but im not fixing what isnt broken after 59 years...
drivetain just needs tweeking a few new parts...

very nice.. I would love an overdrive for mine someday, then it would almost be driveable.
