I would like to provide an update on my Jeep and to thank everyone on this forum for your help with the details over the past year or so. I am now finished with the Jeep and it has received a Senior National First Place at the AACA National show in Hershey this fall. Attached is a picture.
Again, thanks for all of the assistance, I could not have done it without your help.
My son and I just bought a very rusted 1951 CJ-3A that we are planning to restore. My objective is to restore it to original and to show it in Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) national shows.
I have restored other cars but this is my first Jeep. My son is into off-roading and rock crawling with an old Toyota pick-up which is fully modified. This Jeep just sounded like a fun project.
I have the parts book and Westerman's excellent book but I will need a lot of help when it comes to the details of originality.
