Jeep

                                            Old Jeeps don't die, they get Glassed

Spring of 1990 we bought a 1973 Jeep CJ-5 that came out of Texas. It was clean with no rust. After a few Iowa winters it met rust. Rather doing the easy thing like selling it and replacing it with something newer, we decided to do away with the rust for good. Besides it fits in the garage so well! The following pictures show parts of the project.
