Starting a  50' Cj3A restore. Engine is done. All torn down  to the frame finally. Hopefully by spring we will have a completed project.

Here is what we started with... the tub is a "bubba" fab from the firewall back.  This was all stripped off and dissembled down to the frame.

Looking good so far.  Looks like you have an early head on your engine.

Craig asked about the tire.  It is an old Goodyear  "SureTrac"  6:00x16.  directional.  I love the tread, but unfortunately they are not made anymore.
