Www.por15.com Www.durabakcompany.com Durabak is essentially linex or hurculiner in a wide variety of colors. I am painting the interior of my body tub with it. They will mdil you a free sample to match colors. Most local stores have never heard of these specialty paints.

The engine starts with the new SOLEX carb but will only run for a few seconds. I have seen other threads about the Solex carb crapping out right after starting. I'm sure it's a choke and adjustment issue but the carb didn't come with any instructions. Any ideas how to adjust it?

Yes, it is a brand new VIN tag. You can get them at www.kaiserwillys.com . I took it to my local trophy / award shop and had them engrave my VIN on it.

Radiator installed and data plates engraved with my Serial number.

The engine has a nice thick coat of orange POR-15 engine enamel. The distributor could not get a good ground. Simple and embarrassing oversight.

I still have POR-15 on my wrists and arms from a week ago. It's awesome but never goes away.

I got the engine started and got it timed. Everything looks, sounds good. I wish I could upload the video of it running. Looking to install the new radiator in the next few days so I can run the engine for more than a few seconds.

I have a 58 CJ5 that has been totally restored thus far. I a, attempting the first engine start. I have a new ignition coil with internal resistor. I have a new distributor with no points. I am getting power at the coil and the distributor but am not getting a spark from the coil to the...

I used POR-15 on my frame and top coated with POR-15's Chassis Coat Black top coat. I sand blasted it all first. Came out beautifully!

Here are some pictures of my body tub as it is now. Sandblasted but i need of some body work. Any ideas where i can get the front and rear quarter panels as one piece? Ive seen them for later model CJ5s but nothing from the 1950s.

New OEM mechanical fuel pump finally installed despite problems initially. The far left bolt is in a very difficult spot. There is no room to maneuver a wrench. Got the fuel line ran to my tank resting temporarily on the frame. Body update: sandblasting complete, body work started. More detailed...

Welcome back! I've been spending every spare second in the garage, much to my wife's annoyance. But the Army is moving us to Hawaii in June and the Willys needs to be fully functional to get on the boat.

Thanks for the research, but it looks like they do not have the correct panels. I need the front and rear quarter panels in one piece. They are widely available for flat fender jeeps but not the early CJ5's. One option is to get the panels for a 75-83 CJ5 and just cut down the extra lengnth in...

Thats great! Im glad your jeep is road worthy again. Sadly mine is not quite there. Body work is becoming a major issue. I need to replace both sides from front to back. Nobody makes replacement panels for "old" CJ5s.

I installed the exhaust today. I am going to weld it together next and put on some POR-20 high heat exhaust paint.

Installed the following new items: Exhaust manifold, ignition coil, starter, and carb. I put a coat of POR-15 on the transmission /transfer case. The fuel pump has become very painful to install. Hopefully I will figure that out tomorrow.

Progress! Installed a new mechanical fuel pump. Installed both drive shafts (painted with POR-15's Hardnose Orange).

It is indeed a 7/8 in nut. It is machined and impossible to find. I almost stripped it during the removal because it was so tight. I ended up needing a 4 foot cheater pipe to apply enough torque. Good luck with your project!

Installed the engine, new clutch, fly wheel, bell housing and rebuilt T-90/Spicer-18. So far so good, no major road blocks yet.

So I installed the fly wheel and attempted to drop the engine into the frame. However, the engine mounts no longer line up. What's up with that. It seems the engine mount on the drivers side is now too narrow to line up. How could they have moved? Any solutions for this? Thanks in advance. -Ian
