1967 Jeep CJ5: Cleaning Up 25 Years Of Neglect! 

I have a 64 CJ5 with the same cracked up bondo mess like yours. Mine starts under Jeep script. I have good metal on inside of tub. Maybe people slapped Bondo on to cover spot welds. You have motivated me to grind mine off and soon as weather warms up. Keep up good wor

Great video! Keep ‘em coming.

Hey folks good job done 👍

There is a great product to remove rust, that will chemically change the rust. It's called Ospho. Available at Ace Hardware. I used it on my 1964 CJ5. Once the rust is converted, it is harmless and it can be safely sanded and painted. Awesome to recover the damage done to the "Jeep" logo. Covering that up was horrible. So: Ospho, Sand and paint. Looking forward to what you will do next. My glove box was gone, too, but I made one with wood.

Son...this is good stuff. I subscribed to you on both of my channels.

Well I thought you were fubared, but it worked great idea

Wow! I never expected the transfer case boots to stretch enough to go over the knobs. Good trick!

Suggestion. If the clanging around of that super retro cup holder bothers you, go to Lowe’s or Home Depot and grab a can (not the spray type, but the “dip” type) of plastidip and just dip the lower portion of your cool cup holder in some of that and let it dry. Do it a few times, build up a couple layers to deaden the sound and protect your dash! Win/win! Great project and I love following this!

Funny your working in the interior. I'm back at my 67 CJ5 fitting new hi-back seats. May have to mod rear fenders......now where did i see that video?, 🤣

Picklex20 for the win on bare metal. What are the plans for the Jeep? Just a beater, woods Jeep? That determines direction. I can’t help but fix, cut out, panel replace where there is rust. How you feel about Bondo is how I feel about rust. You are in TN and that is the Meca for auto restorations, etc in the East. Offer advertisement in an episode from a Chemical dipper and just kill all the birds in the corn field in one go around. Then, fix the rust, use 3-4 coats of VP2050 Epoxy Primer and paint it it back whatever color you want. Such a faster process and not that much $. Would be a great series.

Another Great segment!!! Loving the Jeep!!!

Same guy must have done my Jeep logo that did yours - seriously. I still don't know how to get my logos visible again either (mine are bondoed over on both sides). You're pretty good with a welder - they do sell replacement panels with the Jeep logo you might want to look into. Great video!

Grind the rest of the bondo out and paint it

Good fix on the glovebox, I used a piece of gal sheet with a 90 bend on the Power Wagon, it butted up against the firewall so the firewall became the back and top. CJ5 coming along OK, you had much better quality rubber boots than I did, mine spit first time I shifted the 4x4 lever.

Idea for glove box that worked great on my 55 cj5. I found Stainless food prep bin at the local Cash and carry fit right in, $6!

Looks great man! My vote is to simply clear / seal the rust and let the logo and patina shine! Interior cleaned up well too!

Nice job! I found placing those rubber parts in very hot water makes them more manageable to stretch over the nobs but I liked your idea with the bag and grease and I was hoping it didn't tear... nice clean up too.

Brilliant, greetings from eastern ontario

Weld the radio hole back in

Aftermarket trany shift knob

Spray the shift knob with polyurethane. I think it would look nice.

If that radio works I’ll buy it off you

hey Jacob! Your videos must be getting popular... I had like 4 pop-up ads during your video. The sign of success, I guess. If it were me, with the body filler situation, I'd try to grind off as much as i could from the area between the front fender and the door opening and feather it out under the door. it would be a much smaller transition area and be a lot less noticeable. then find a green that matches. advance auto has a paint match camera and can mix some that matches and even put it in a spray bomb for you! a large chunk of the putty with paint on it should be enough for them to match it. Just an option. BTW, I am going to sell my '67 V6 CJ. As you know its new from bumper to bumper and more perfect than when it was new. if you know someone looking, send em my way.

Stick those boots in hot water

I'd get a cut from a wrecked jeep and graft in the whole panel. Sooner or latter it will have to be delt with.

Remove the bondo and let the wave show or buy patch panels either way is better Than leaving the way it is

This is good stuff. Subscribed to you on both of my channels.

Transfercase knobs are screw on

That jeep wouldn't even came with a roll bar, they didn't come with roll bars tell 1976

Fix the fender right then paint the whole jeep, since the paint isn't original.

That wouldn't came with a radio

I'll be interested in how you go on the seat covers. I can't find a budget friendly option. My foam is usable but the covers are split open. I've Retro Manufacturing for an older looking radio. Some recommend marine radios for the weather but they don't right in a old Jeep.

Great video! Where did you get the roll cage? Thanks!

👌👍🇨🇴
