[@ronniepate4315]

Josh , You will have ball on this build..If you look on you tube, there are a few video's on how important the jeep was in our fighting force's. It make's you want to give them a salute.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

True! And I'm ready ! Ready to be frustrated! Ready to make it nice again...ready to learn the process!

[@whiteb0rd]

Not only should you undercoat with something like rhinoliner, look into injecting rustproofing into all the void spaces and then sealing them. There used to be commercial services to do that (Ziebart from memory?), so if you can find one of those services, you could probably get it done on the cheap by trailering the tub to them. Sames goes to getting the underside and interior rhinolined. Not traditional, but it will greatly extend the life of the body. Check in Charlotte...... I also recommend using urethane bushings when you mount the body to the frame. Again, not traditional, but they will not break down over time and absorb water, and cause body rot at mount points.

[@ionhoss2175]

Back in 1989 or 90 I ordered a replacement body from J.C. Whitney for my '47 CJ-2a. I had to go get it from the freight carrier in my pick-up by myself. Wasn't too bad. Never got around to doing the work to it that I had wanted and sold the Jeep and the body in '93. Keep up the great videos! I'm in the mountains of NC.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Dang man....I wish I woulda got it!

[@lazerbeam3928]

If you have seen Mustie1 on YT, he works on all kinds of old vehicles, motorcycles, boats. etc. He currently is make a 50's era Karman Gia into a daily driver and it has a lot of rust even areas that have undercoating. He stated the problem with undercoating is that it does not expand and contract at the same rate as metal. Consequently the undercoating over time hardens, then chips, cracks and forms pockets that traps moisture. This in turn causes rusting out the body parts. He recommends that just paint is better in the long run although he did say that the jury is still out on coatings like Line-X and Rhino Liner.

[@robertsnyder5149]

I know a guy near Black Diamond, Wash. that has an original 1945 Willys Jeep still in the shipping box that it was meant to go overseas in. Never been out of the box yet. He just sits on it.

[@m998hmmwv7]

l did the exact same thing. Ground up restoration of a 1953 CJ3B high hood with the hurricane engine OHV .. Its awesome

[@keithlucas6260]

That family in the Philippines was given all the remaining tooling and blueprints for those old WWII jeeps plus the license...they started out with unburying the jeeps left by the military and started selling parts and vehicles. Was able to watch a video on them.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

I watched the same video...was pretty interesting

[@jackpaul7215]

I'd put bed line inside the tub. Paint the inside of the fenders, the fire wall, hood, frame and paint the bottom of the tub before you put it together. Then paint the exterior all at once to get an even finish.

Save the old grill and use it for wall art in the shop or the barn. I have seen tubs that were done with LiNE-X ,also there are spray your own bedliner armor kits you can do in your own shop. Amazon has a big selection. We did our atv 4wheel trailer in Line-x, in desert tan color, its a great look . much better than undercaoting treatments especiall in farm and off-road applications. also seen it used instead of paint on the body for ultimate no scratch coating

[@jayjenkins4721]

I bought a surplus military Jeep back in the 70’s for $500 bucks. It was pretty thrashed but not too rusted. Had fun restoring it as my first car. After you clean up the frame use POR 15 + POR ChassiBlack for the frame. It’s cheap and bulletproof. There’s nothing to these old jeeps really. You’ll have fun restoring yours.

Scuff the whole bottom with a 3m pad and paint with Real Epoxy paint ( do that part out doors at 70 degrees. ) Undercoating, if not perfect can trap moisture, which you have plenty of.

[@timothykeith1367]

@@lint2023 Apply undercoat in dry low humidity conditions to a clean surface. Otherwise moisture can get trapped. Otherwise, just give it a good quality epoxy paint and then a lanolin based product like Fluid Film, re-apply Fluid-Film annually if you use the vehicle in wet conditions. Most of all, keep the under body clean and parked under a roof.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Jack...I was just going through the comments...I wanted to thank you for all of your very insightful and positive comments...I appreciate a guy like you on the channel! Thanks so much!

[@JackSmith-jj3bi]

Stoney Ridge Farmer Thank you. Got my first low hood while in high school and many more have followed. Love those old jeeps. A few words of caution about the body you just bought. As I mentioned, put it together on the frame to make sure everything lines up. There have been issues with this in the past. I don’t know what level of restoration you taking this to there are a couple more things to lookout for. One is the primer. Yes it is primed. But it isn’t the best. When I did my JD Juan body, on the advice of others, I removed what they referred to as shipping primer and laid down a good coat of DuPont primer. Oh yea one other observation. You mentioned some scratches. This can translate to almost invisible dents that will show up when painted. As you problem already know, the better the foundation when you paint the nicer the paint job. Things we would take for granted fitting. Like the actual gauges you are using fitting the holes. Run a tap tap into caged nuts to make sure there is no weld spatter on the threads. I know you get the idea, detail, detail, detail. Looks like you’re having a good time. If I were closer I’d stop by and give you a hand.

[@JackSmith-jj3bi]

Oh yea, the old grill can be recycled into a great bench. Use the grill for the back and weld up a frame to sit on. Do NOT paint the grill leave it in the distressed look. Really kool piece.

prime and paint before assembling is the way to go .just mask off any earthing points and an epoxy paint would be the way to go with that environment

[@GenderSkins]

I would undercoat it, after painting it as it will help prevent additional rusting even though undercoating would not be historically accurate.

[@patrickstephens9211]

DO NOT PAINT OVER THE SHIPPING PRIMER! Scuff and epoxy over the black shipping primer it is not a base you want for your paint, i work in a restoration shop and that stuff will cause problems later on down the road if not properly prepped. Stoked to see this project!

Paint is far better than undercoating, undercoating traps water and ends up causing rust. Some bedliner in the wheel wells might work well, rocks kicked up can chip the paint, bedliner would probably have better impact resistance than undercoating.
