What do you need as far as the tub goes? I have a buddy that has a CJ-5 with a brand new fiberglass tub and front end that's been sitting in his yard for years, I bet you could get it pretty cheap.

getting some of the bodywork done. problem comes when trying to put a shorter body on a longer frame and wheelbase. even with moving the tub forward 4" I still needed to add 7" to the front fenders to clear the shock hoops and hav enoungh room for a radiator.

Also had to add 7" to the hood so I cut the front off of an old hood to add on. then discovered that the hood tapers quite a bit so a section had to be taken out of the middle. this created a hood that looks like one off of a willys pu or wagon by creating a point in the center. looks kinda cool so I havent decided wether to leave it or square it off to make it look like a flatty:eeek:
