alberts cj-5 jeep





Posted by PicasaThis is Albert's Cj it started life as a rusted out piece.Albert and his talented son ,Curtis whipped this dude out,and its real nice!A fiberglass and Kevlar body now adorns the chassis that was boxed in stressed areas and fitted with tougher parts so Curtis can hammer it with a little abuse from time to time.Calm down Albert ,that's what jeeps are for getting dirty!heck yeah!The underside of the body was shot with Speedliner bed liner with Kevlar,black in color,while the inside of the tub was shot with Speedliner to match the paint.This will make the interior easy to clean and make it durable too.Curtis "son of stinkin genius" prepped the body with epoxy Kirker primer and blocked it up,then shot it with Kirker Omaha orange, then water sanded the pig! I had the fun of puttin down some simple graphics and when that was done Curtis slathered it with clear kirker for that slick smooth look. Throw in some new seats , fat rubber on chrome wheels,fresh trim and it's time to cruise.Future plans for this neat jeep include a warmed up Chevy 327 that's sitting on the stand waiting for some mud to churn or rubber to burn!
