Just a bit of maintenance to keep the ol’ gal running 😂. Cannot wait to watch the progress and finished project. Sending positive vibes from Canada.

Awesome video, Stan. I wish I could have the honor of helping you swap everything over! I definitely owe ya for all the video entertainment you and your friends have provided the world over the last few years 😁👌. My 2a has a later type frame as well. There are a few slight differences as you know and will find, like the body mount bolts under the passenger seat area being different, and a few differences where the front fenders bolt to the frame around the shock mounts as I recall. Nothing that is difficult to fix obviously. Best wishes.

It is good to see you address some issues with Grampa's Jeep. I hope the frame swap goes well and that the project doesn't keep you off the trail too long. I am looking forward to seeing your progress on the channel. Just be aware you may loose some articulation with the stronger frame and repaired body panels. 😃

The fun begins! The proper way to remove the tub of a Jeep is to get it off, whatever is easer for you. I changed my first Jeep engine in 1957 it was my uncles 51 now it is mine. Over time the old gal had a few engine swaps and a few body patches, this time it is a ground up I have the time and knowledge and tools she is getting what ever she needs new in side. The outside and under is rusty from salt on the beach but nothing that can't be made form a sheet of 18 ga metal. You can pound out the fenders weld in new hat & flat to keep the original stuff. Enjoy your project think of Grand pa while you are get ten er done. Paul

Hey Stan! I live in Utah (Farmington) and have a pair of really solid 1948 CJ2A fenders that I don't have a use for! If you want them I'd love to donate them to the project so you can cut them up however you need to to patch yours up!

Awesome ! So good to see you giving the old girl a proper refresh. I'm glad you are saving those front fenders and that very well earned patina 👍👍 That M38 frame is a nice "Period upgrade", the main thing I can think of is to add a small reinforcement inside the frame rails where the front ends of the rear springs attach while you are welding the other doodads on. Looking forward to wheeling with you guys again!!
