Willys Jeep CJ2a Body kit fitment install from@mdjuanjeepparts how to part 1 of 3 @C_CEQUIPMENT

We pull in another project into the shop. This time Jay brought in a 1947 Willys CJ2a he bought as an unfinished project that had no body with it. In this video we test fit a new body on it and all the other accessories before we tear it all back down again for paint. This is part 1 of a 3 part series, next video will be paint and body and the last will be putting it all back together again. We keep the new replacement bodies in stock from 1941-1986, contact Scott for any of you parts needs.

I was 7 years old and my daddy bought a project jeep for me to learn on. It was finished after my 9th birthday. We towed it to the deer club and daddy said I could drive it all I wanted on one condition.... I couldn't break it.... I was the luckiest boy in the world. I dreamed jeep dreams every night. This video brought it all back to me. Thank you so very much.

When I wore a younger mans clothes in 1976, many high school guys had Jeeps to offroad with. Big Tires, diamond plate and a great stereo. Those jeeps could go anywhere and they were great Vehicles. I wish I could go back.... Respects,

experience, attention to detail, refusal to allow mediocre work to pass through the shop. Clint, you always impress.

As a young man in 1979, my friend had one of the first Toyota Land Cruisers- kinda like a old jeep in my mind. I wish they built stuff that simple again so we Americans could afford it. Or like the old volkswagon beetle, the engine quit, you just ordered and dropped a new one into the car and kept going. Love the Videos. I am a hot car lover and have no interest in off road, but your videos are great for this Old Man. My Respects, RH DSD

Always wanted an old surplus Army jeep ever since I can remember. Used to see the ads for surplus jeeps in the old comic books, $500 jeep in a crate etc. Days long gone.
I joined the Army in 89 and was lucky enough to drive an old jeep before we got our first Hummvees.

It was Jay who I worked with when I ordred an MRAP winch to M35A2 mounting brackets. He told me Clint was away that day, and he only had 1/2 inch steel to cut my mounts from, when it was usually 3/8 (or something like that).
No extra charge for materials or shipping. That's one reason I'm still doing biz with C&C over 10 years later.

Back in the 70s my dad use to get JC Whitney books. You could order them out of them. Every thing you needed to build a jeep. Was a big book of all kind of parts for cars and trucks.

The Jeep build is a lot more interesting then I thought it would be. Can't hardly wait for the next video. Great job guys.😃😃😃🚙

[benrosenbaum]

I would much rather take the time to fit, drill, notch, & modify on that new tub and parts than deal with a rusty mess. That's looking sweet. Nice job.

[rhondasweeney]

What an awesome adventure building a kit jeep. Can hardly wait until it's done in the new paint on it

[reedburke]

Kevin is always right in the middle of the work, steady and deliberate! We love your work, Kevin!

[shanemcdonald]

I can’t wait to see the whole series with building this Jeep.That is a project I would be interested in doing someday.

[davidbillings]

Enjoyed having Jay and uncle Scott working with you and Kevin. Getting the whole team together on this one.👏👏👏👏👏👍

Something different from the C&C garage but still part of your business. Awesome to see what is available.

[oddtechman]

love the old jeeps! they are so customisable from original spec to insane 300BHP LSX V8 installation and rear wheel drive! (this is well documented this one lol) Thanks for something totally different to your normal and really looking forward to seeing how this one develops!

We had 2 jeeps at our ranch when I was a kid. A 42 Willy’s Jeep with the windshield the glass that lifts up or the entire windshield lays down. We also had aa 49 but the windshield only laid down. We would drive them up into the mountains, pull drags behind them to maintain our roads, hauls trailers full of sand for cement and much more. It’s were I learned to drive a standard and driving them on the mountain roads at 14 you learn the do’s and don’t real quick. They were fully restored to original condition with the exception of paint. They were painted a really cool metallic blue. We had them so long and got used and abused so much that we ended up needing to restore them a second time but it was more of a recondition and paint. We had a guy that lived here in my home town that went by the name of “Jeep a guy” as he ran a Jeep junk yard and it where we always found our parts and spare engines. Unfortunately we didn’t have someone like you around that would have made it much easier on us during restoration but we worked with what we had available to us.
The 42 had the fully enclosed soft top with removable doors and hand powered windshield wipers “lol’’ while the 49 just had the soft top.

We need Auto Manufacturing in the US to get back to the basics without all the whiz/bang add on gadgets that set a vehicle back $80, 000. Just a simple turn key, no power nuthing except the brakes and steering, so Americans can afford and Work On their vehicles. Great to watch this build. Respects, Rh DSD

[jackbraithwaite]

WOW ! Really enjoyed that. Didn't realize how much work it actually was to put one together. Thanks Fellas. Thank You Clint for taking the time to educate your viewers. 👍🇺🇲👏😊

Thumbs up 👍 custom holes are customizable for the customer by the customer!

It's a good thing that these classic American WW2-era jeep bodies are still being made in the Philippines by MDJuan.
