Willys Jeep CJ2a Body kit fitment install from 

I was 7 years old and my daddy bought a project jeep for me to learn on. It was finished after my 9th birthday. We towed it to the deer club and daddy said I could drive it all I wanted on one condition.... I couldn't break it.... I was the luckiest boy in the world. I dreamed jeep dreams every night. This video brought it all back to me. Thank you so very much.

When I wore a younger mans clothes in 1976, many high school guys had Jeeps to offroad with. Big Tires , diamond plate and a great stereo. Those jeeps could go anywhere and they were great Vehicles. I wish I could go back.... Respects,

As a young man in 1979, my friend had one of the first Toyota Land Cruisers- kinda like a old jeep in my mind. I wish they built stuff that simple again so we Americans could afford it. Or like the old volkswagon beetle, the engine quit, you just ordered and dropped a new one into the car and kept going. Love the Videos. I am a hot car lover and have no interest in off road, but your videos are great for this Old Man. My Respects, RH DSD

The Jeep build is a lot more interesting then I thought it would be. Can't hardly wait for the next video. Great job guys.😃😃😃🚙

experience, attention to detail, refusal to allow mediocre work to pass through the shop. Clint, you always impress.

I would much rather take the time to fit, drill, notch, & modify on that new tub and parts than deal with a rusty mess. That's looking sweet. Nice job.

Back in the 70s my dad use to get JC Whitney books. You could order them out of them. Every thing you needed to build a jeep. Was a big book of all kind of parts for cars and trucks.

Kevin is always right in the middle of the work, steady and deliberate! We love your work, Kevin!

What an awesome adventure building a kit jeep. Can hardly wait until it's done in the new paint on it

It was Jay who I worked with when I ordred an MRAP winch to M35A2 mounting brackets. He told me Clint was away that day, and he only had 1/2 inch steel to cut my mounts from, when it was usually 3/8 (or something like that). No extra charge for materials or shipping. That's one reason I'm still doing biz with C&C over 10 years later.

love the old jeeps! they are so customisable from original spec to insane 300BHP LSX V8 installation and rear wheel drive! (this is well documented this one lol) Thanks for something totally different to your normal and really looking forward to seeing how this one develops!

I can’t wait to see the whole series with building this Jeep.That is a project I would be interested in doing someday.

Love the old jeep new parts content!!

Enjoyed having Jay and uncle Scott working with you and Kevin. Getting the whole team together on this one.👏👏👏👏👏👍

Something different from the C&C garage but still part of your business. Awesome to see what is available.

Clinton awesome video! You guys have everything needed to build a good Jeep! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

Awesome can’t wait for the finished project.

We need Auto Manufacturing in the US to get back to the basics without all the whiz/bang add on gadgets that set a vehicle back $80,000. Just a simple turn key, no power nuthing except the brakes and steering, so Americans can afford and Work On their vehicles. Great to watch this build. Respects, Rh DSD

I wanna see it get the Paint By Kevin treatment! Looking good so far... BUB!

WOW ! Really enjoyed that. Didn't realize how much work it actually was to put one together. Thanks Fellas. Thank You Clint for taking the time to educate your viewers. 👍🇺🇲👏😊

That is awesome I have the same jeep that I learned to drive with. It has been sitting under a tarp since probably 1988. When I retire I'm going to restore it so I will be definitely talking to uncle Scott! Thanks again for the great content!

This was an awesome project. Something different. I found it funny that most everything on the Jeep you didn't need a crane or a forklift to get in and out like most of the big iron machines you usually work on. Must have been nice for all of you. Thanks for sharing.

We had 2 jeeps at our ranch when I was a kid. A 42 Willy’s Jeep with the windshield the glass that lifts up or the entire windshield lays down. We also had aa 49 but the windshield only laid down. We would drive them up into the mountains, pull drags behind them to maintain our roads, hauls trailers full of sand for cement and much more. It’s were I learned to drive a standard and driving them on the mountain roads at 14 you learn the do’s and don’t real quick. They were fully restored to original condition with the exception of paint. They were painted a really cool metallic blue. We had them so long and got used and abused so much that we ended up needing to restore them a second time but it was more of a recondition and paint. We had a guy that lived here in my home town that went by the name of “Jeep a guy” as he ran a Jeep junk yard and it where we always found our parts and spare engines. Unfortunately we didn’t have someone like you around that would have made it much easier on us during restoration but we worked with what we had available to us. The 42 had the fully enclosed soft top with removable doors and hand powered windshield wipers “lol’’ while the 49 just had the soft top.

Thumbs up 👍 custom holes are customizable for the customer by the customer!

Way to Go!!! I love the Old Jeeps!

This was different…it looks like a matchbox toy compared to the dozers you normally work on! Yeah, let’s see Kevin paint something that small! He can do it in his sleep probably! 😂😂 Thanks Clinton!

Nice project. Good for all the team to refresh knowledge on how the jeeps go together, thereby being able to give qualified advise to customers.

Checked out your website. The kit is surprisingly cheap in my opinion. Expected at least double of what you charge. Definitely would be worth it if you have an old jeep that needs extensive body work. Probably be cheaper in the long run in time, money and labor to go with a kit like this than try to fix a body that needs tons of work.

Can’t wait to see it completely finished!

Now that is going to be a cracking little Jeep, can not wait to see it all done up painted and running like a good little Willy, thanks Clinton, Kevin, Uncle Scott, and CJ, nice to see you stand by what you sell.

Those bodies fit exceptionally well. Thanks for sharing.

Really enjoyed seeing this go together guys it sure made for great viewing bro. Be interesting to see what color it turns out to be, some kind of camo would be neat although with the black top it may not work well. Safe travels

Good to see the restoration of such a great little vehicle that was a real workhorse in a time of need. I had the great pleasure of working with my elder brother who had the Action Vehicles contract on the film The Eagles Have Landed filmed at Maple Durham on the river Thames. 13 Willies Jeeps some bought for the film others hired from collectors. A White halftrack and two UK Bedford I think QL trucks One was set on fire the other was the pretty one. A 1930s car I think it was a Vauxhall with MGB engine and box, as the car going to land in a lake and the owner didn't want a ceased engine. Each jeep played the part of many more and new had extra numbered bonnets that were quickly changed. These numbers were researched to a US army unit stationed in the UK at that time. The story line was of German paratroopers flown in to assonate Churchill, and a US patrol came upon them. Thanks for posting and stirring my brain way back to the 1970s.

Nice project, real interesting video. The Jeep has more character and personality than the lackluster crew. What a dreary bunch.

Can't wait to see it finished

I love it! Thanks for doing the Jeep project! Looks fantastic!!

Great video..! Clinton, I predict after this video series is complete, sales will increase, this video alone highlights the ease, and maybe some frustrations of doing a project like this. You pointing out the need for pre-assembly, and various inherent “tweeks” here and there are great. Thank you sir.

Good documentary on the project, unique details, I even watch the commercials for Y'all. Showing how to do it better, kudos! I personally like the Spot welds, more industrial, more original. I find smoothed bodies look fake and even plast-icky with modern paint finishes. In rebuilds I try to smooth the flat areas and crisp edges, leave the creases and spot weld divots. Awesome project with the fam!

love to see the ole cj restore cant wait for the rest

Nice to see this being put together!! Stay safe guys!!

Great content. For the next (CJ-5) build make a whole series out of it with corresponding detail.

love the white wall tyres

Thanks for sharing this, Jeep assembly. I am glad you shared this for seeing whats to look forward to.

Nice jeep project, love jeeps, drove a 1956 jeep as an on site rig when I was a kid many years ago.

Yes, the body from MD Juan may not be perfect showroom ready by todays standards but it’s not rusty. It’s always surprising to see how small they actually are.

That’s going to be a sweet little CJ Jeep when it’s all said and done. Smart move getting everything fit before it goes to Kevin (Mr. paint) to slicker up. Again, quality by C&C, do it right, do it once, thanks for the ride along gentlemen.

Nice change of pace,I like it

I've been waiting for this one, thank you.

Like seeing the Jeep build. Really interesting to see how it looks with replacement parts. Looks like original steel tub. Remember when they had fiberglass replacement ❤

I noticed that wimpy looking single sided front shackle. It looks weak but probably performed amazing back in “the day”. Cool to see you guys showing jeep body stuff. Thanks

Want to see what the jeep looks like painted! Also waiting on so new vids with the equipment auction buys! 👌👌😎

great video just love to see you guys working no matter what the project 👏👏👏👍👍

Miss C thinking about the cost of all this fun lol

1967🤔1968 I was a young pup, my dad bought a 1943 Willys Jeep with duals all the way around and posy rear. We were in Eureka, AK on the South side of Monument Mountain. Alaska 🤔 I'm almost sure it's the only place were there's a swamp on the side of a mountain.🤨😕. We were hunting caribou above the treeline and we got stuck💩 poo-buckets. My brother and I walked several miles back to get someone's dunnage. In the mean time my dad had made a five point 'deadman'. He hooked a cable between one set of front dues and strung it to the deadman and back to between the other set of front duels. We worked the dunnage under the Willys' tires. My dad put it in low low 4x4 and slowly drew up the extra cable evenly. My brother and I pushed as my dad let out the clutch the tires spun and the Jeep climbed the cable right out of the swamp. 🤟😁 Had to take off one outer duel to get the cable out but hey we were out.

Thanks Team Jeep… this is a lovely little project, a jump away from the usual great content, and it’s fascinating watching body language changing as progress is made… thanks for sharing. I’m looking forward to part 2 🤝🤝

Looking good!

It’s going to look awesome Clint but that’s a lot of work great video

Great project!

I have been waiting for this build

Great video Clinton keep them coming please

Cool project guys!

nice assemble line a lot of work fitting

I've been waiting for this series...nice job 👍🏻

Great stuff guys.

Great video. More like this one. I like them all keep up the good work

Awesome job. I worked on ol Jeep some years ago. Had v8 Buick engine I removed an reinstalled it.

The project that we were waiting for jeep it coming

Yeah something a little different and interesting that was fun thanks for sharing

I love those old jeeps. I had a 1957 Willy's Pickup It had a Super Hurricane 6 cyl. I wish I would of never got rid of..The jeep is looking good. Great Video...

This is the mini series 😉 great start, love it!!👍🇺🇸

Have been waiting for a jeep build. Thank you! Can’t wait for paint. Great video

Great part 1

Very interesting video. That would be a great project. Thanks for sharing.

Great video! This give a very clear example of why steering column designs on modern vehicles were redesigned because of the impalement hazard.

Looking good Clint

Pretty neat for folks to see one go together correctly. You may have another line of business. Finding old jeep chassis.

It is so refreshing to see someone with such integrity to see that a project is so done so correctly. Well done!!! I for one have subscribed & Liked so I can follow this to the of your project!!!!!

Willeys designed these, sold them to the military then got pretty much cut out of production because they didn't have the capacity to make them. Ford made most of them.

Yeah Clint, been waiting for this! Old Jeeps are great! CJ stands for civilian jeep. ( yj yesterday j, tj today j, xj extrem j) My dad was a Jeepster, had 6 all yj's, 3 to plow, 1 parts, 1 for off-road, 1 Sunday driver ( very low miles, excellent shape added v8, lift kit, all ss lines...you name it) Very nice build guys, found memories helping my dad.... he would of been watching this, all except soft top, he hated them, HARD TOP....or no top! He would of for sure bought parts from Jeff. Anyway THANK YOU Mr. Clint appreciated and enjoyed this ONE, best regards from O hi Oooo.

Cool y'all have parts to keep those old horses road worthy. I found this channel because Matt over @DieselCreek got a Hummer cover from you guys. But the dead dozer rehabs really set the hook.

Flat fender jeeps are stackable if you put the one on top backwards. That is the reason for the massive fender bracket.

Cool project!

Good job guys

Another great project.

Great project

Reminds me of driving my friends 1948 Willys on the air strip!

This looks like a fun build for you fellas

Great job mate 👍

Looks great

I remember back in the 50's you could buy a surplus Army Jeep that came disassembled in a crate like that for $500.00. They had a running ad in Mechanics Illustrated magazine.

I've got a 3a body kit project going on here. But I am converting the CJ to a DJ and that is a bunch of little changes to the tub. And of course, a few hundred holes to drill!

Pretty cool

Don't rush the assembly, take your time so you don't make wrong holes in wrong places. Wish I had a.nice jeep! My dad had a jeep! He made white side walls with house paint! Cool huh! That was back in the 40s. Before I come Along. I never even saw it. Not even a photo. Just dads description and an old hard rubber gearshift knob he kept in a Mason jar for30 or 40 years and.I discovered when I raided the nuts and.bolts collection in the garage as a child. Brings back memory's! HE was.in the Navy. Thanks guys! Hope ya git er all buttoned up! Nice ol rellick!

Great video Clint 🇺🇸

Cool build

Wait a second you can get a cj jeep in a crate !!!!!!! 🤯 This is awesome !

Great video. A wartime MB is worth a fortune here in the UK and I did help a mate restore one about 20 years ago. I am surprised how similar the early CJ is and I really like the tailgate feature. If only I had a little more space at home.

Those whitewalls are LIT!

JEEEEEP FEAVER! Love it!

That’s cool would like to see more
