Putting my Jeep tub together (CJ5 Rebuild ep 14)

I'm working on rebuilding the rusted out tub from a 1956 Jeep CJ5. In this episode, I put together all the pieces I've made recently.

I’m really enjoying the Jeep built. I think it’s the best project on KZbin. Can’t wait for the electronics phase of the build.

[@phrozenwun]

👍 for the funk homage to Binky! (brought to you by Abraham Lincoln)

[@scroungasworkshop4663]

I’ve just realised that this project will eventually be finished and while I’m excited to see that, I must admit I’ll also be a bit disappointed because I’m enjoying and learning so much. Cheers, Stuart 🇦🇺

[@JeremyMakesThings]

This is one of those projects that will never be “finished.” I have so many ideas for it that I don’t think I’ll ever be able to do them all.

[@scroungasworkshop4663]

@@JeremyMakesThings I’m glad to hear that, plenty of ideas and content to come. Awesome 👍👍

Consistently killing it with great videos. Really enjoy your editing and humor.

Good shots!

[@Fives5275]

Really enjoying the build, you're doing a great job and I can't wait to see the final product

[@Grinch_ears]

Looks very good👍you have gold hands. I'm waiting new part. Anton St.Petersberg Russia.

[@bborkzilla]

I love the utilitarian look of the CJ5 of that vintage.

[@lumotroph]

Man that new welding technology is advanced!

[@jdmccorful]

No doubt about it. You are one heck of a Restoration Mechanic! Really enjoying the "metal work" tips you are passing along. Thanks!!!

[@rallymax2]

Freakin amazing progress dude. Love your grin as you sit in the driver’s seat for the first time.

[@RestorationVideo]

Another masterpiece! Such a pleasure to watch! Thank you 💕

[@deancoley7987]

If anyone deserves a bigger workspace then it has to be you Jeremy, great work as usual cheers

[@hrenes]

I'm just dreaming, while you are doing the hard work, thanks!!

[@gubr]

Lot's of progress! Looks really good!

[@barthanes1]

That's cool, with the bed out you can see the turret mount. That's what it needs! A turret mounted rail gun.

[@andrewhufer3286]

It's looking fabulous mate!

[@cooperised]

Extra thumbs up for the Binky reference.

[@kokodin5895]

yeeeey the jeep like vechicle is whole again

[@captaincavern200]

Thank you Jeremy ,that's plenty of welding ..I like that !

[@Porkhammer]

Wow, the telekinetic spotwelding was amazing. Weld done.

[@Rubbernecker]

Great video!!!

[@amircogs]

Good vibes, positive energy and lots of learning from you. Thank you!

[@UncySpam]

So much progress in one video! At this rate, you'll be finished by Festivus :D

NRS straps for the win. Have fun at ALF.

[@jimurrata6785]

I hope youre having as much fun with this as we are!

[@jimgineer]

I wish you could get more subscribers. You are very talented, and better, have an amazing mind and ability to take on most projects we just dream about.

Coming along nicely, well done. 👍

[@chopiesthechook]

Mini-Jeremy also makes, or at least clamps, things 💪😍

beautiful work, like always. one of most interesting channels

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Looking good Jeremy. 👍

Just found your channel last week, it’s fantastic, thanks so much!

[@lundysden6781]

Great skillset my friend! Im a jeremy who makes things too!

[@irritantno9]

Rotisserie suggestion: put a right angle gear box in place of one the trunions. Like a 100-1 reduction. I got tired of my rotisserie turning uncommanded and did this. Put a motor and fwd rev remote control and it’s super nice.

[@larryboschen1287]

Looking great!!!

[@thisolesignguy2733]

I just love 60s Cjs. They're like a Willy's with all the modern affinities. The best of both worlds! I'm really loving this build

[@daleolson3506]

Nice job lots of work

[@camillosteuss]

Glad to see this... I have been expecting you to dish out a comprehensive ``putting together`` video, but i had no idea when it will come... Nice work, especially for sheet metal... That shit is a nightmare... I love metalwork, but metalwork with 3+mm thickness stock... Thin stuff just drives me up a wall...

[@kendingsor]

I like the part where you tried to spot weld with your brain (And tiny hands use vice grips).

[@BigTruck27]

I expected a donut to appear during the telekinetic spot welding sequence.

[@DavidPlass]

LOL I've done the same exact thing with not-deep-enough clamps. Mind tend to flex; maybe because I'm only using angle iron and not box.

[@staxlhax1849]

The madness continues, can’t say I’m disappointed…. Not one little bit.

[@Rustinox]

I didn't know it's possible to brain-weld. I should give it a try one day. And I also think you need a bigger workshop. But, who doesn't?

[@JeremyMakesThings]

I will say it gave me a pretty bad headache. Shop size doesn’t really matter, because the contents of the shop just expand to fill the available space.

[@MatelotsousMarin]

Would be helpful to know what settings you had on your brain for the telekinetic welding please.😁

[@rickpalechuk4411]

Looks like the upholstery needs a slight buff....maybe you can use your brain for that as well.🤭 Cheers

[@joell439]

👍👍😎👍👍

[@aaronshapiro2542]

Whoooo boy, that was A LOT of work in a 20 minute video. What's the tool called that does the temporary hold downs? The coppery looking removeable connectors you used a bunch of times?

[@daleolson3506]

Cleekos or kleekos

[@aaronshapiro2542]

Thank you! I was able to find it from that. It is spelled Clecos @@daleolson3506

[@Paulman50]

👍😊

[@TimLambert-rd6ei]

You are VERY talented, I'm curious to learn your plans for the electric repower. I built 2 electric cars using elect. forklift components because of budget constraints. They were totally functional but I was disappointed with the performance results.

[@youwillneverguess]

Woo!

[@grippgoat]

How do you like that stripping drum tool? Can it handle mill scale? Is it a Bauer or something else red?

[@65cj55]

I have never seen a CJ5 with the Machine Gun Mount on the frame, only the M38A1.

[@JeremyMakesThings]

It’s a cj5 body on a m38a1 frame. The original frame was rusted out, but I found the other frame for cheap. Other than the machine gun mount and some extra boxing, it’s the same frame.

[@65cj55]

@MakesThings Yes, much the same, M38A1 had a much stronger frame, and reverse spring shackles if i remember right.

[@JeremyMakesThings]

@@65cj55 the first +/-3 years of the CJ5 also had the reverse shackles, so it’s “correct” for this one

[@danielperkins1396]

Wish I had your know how on body work. I have an old 58 cj5 that needs some of this…

[@JeremyMakesThings]

So the thing to realize is I had no knowledge or skill on this before I started. The only way to learn is to do it. I was fortunate in that this thing was complete junk, so I wasn’t going to ruin it if I screwed up.

[@kennethney4260]

Ive always prefered the cj7 over the cj5. One thing youll find out about the cj5 if youve bever owned one before is R.I.P to your funny bone...

[@jebowlin3879]

Is there gonna be any kind of anti-rust coating involved with protecting it, or are you gonna stick to just primer, curious

[@N.Cognito]

I know the plan is for it to be fully electric, but have you considered a diesel (or gas) electric hybrid like what Deboss Garage is doing in partner wirh Edison Motors?

[@ollysworkshop]

That was a whole lot of work you've put in there, but it's really starting to look good. I'm no expert, but your spot welder seems to take a long time to make welds, how thick is the sheet metal?

[@JeremyMakesThings]

It’s 18ga which is 1.2mm

[@MrCrankyface]

Love this project. Random and weird question, do you think the spotwelder would still work if you hold the contact tips by hand and have them connected via thick wire. I'm thinking for hard to reach places without having to have very weird and/or long arms?

[@JeremyMakesThings]

So my understanding is the issue is that they’re very low voltage (but very high amperage). So introducing more resistance (even through the longer tongs it’s noticeable) causes significant voltage drop (and therefore also amperage drop, and therefore welding performance drop). So in theory if you made the wires big enough diameter, it would work, but may not be practical. But figuring that out is above my pay grade

[@TheHammer260]

What are those little copper tubes called that you put onto the parts you are going to weld? Are they just to keep the parts in place or do they have some other fuction too? Also, what kind of weldable primer do you use?

[@JeremyMakesThings]

They’re called clecos. They’re basically like temporary rivets, just to hold the panels in place. This is the primer I’ve been using. It’s cheap and seems to work well: a.co/d/haQNfsi

[@TheHammer260]

@@JeremyMakesThings Thanks! Your videos have helped me a great deal with my own CJ5 restoration.

[@TradeWorks_Construction]

I couldn’t help but laugh at your solution to grinding your vice grips to weld in some extensions which was the perfect segue into your reply to that one smart ass commenter (not needing long spot welder electrodes) 🤣. I think if you strained just a little more your psychokinetic ability would have awakened! Then you could have proved that guy right 👍… HOWEVER demonstrate careful discretion and make certain not to strain too hard, many a man sharted* themselves chasing that dream … ahhh the bittersweet trials and tribulations(Trauma) of youth 😭. *Shart: The unintentional BM while passing gas.
