The Copper CJ

[carwash]

What's with the plating and bolts on the back side of the rear bumper? Are you going to bolt it on? I'm in the process of making very similar bumpers out of the same stuff. Really thick rectangular tubing.

yes, the bolts go thru the rear crossmember and thread right into those plates, big 1/2 inch bolts, 12 total, should hold just fine.

Very nice work! When can we see this copper beast wheel?

This year i'm sure... he will probably do quite a few trips.

cage painted and ready for install... painting hammered onto tubing sucks...





motor back from the builder and ready for install, with new serpentine belt system installed...





Atlas and 700R4 to be put in and custom x-member fabbed...







interior prepped for paint









taped off and any bare metal primed









cage installed, all parts reassembled, seats bolted in, etc...











some close ups...








Still have to drop motor/trans/tcase in, make crossmember, and put on the side plates to cover that body damage. I think it's turning out really nice.

[Bear Chow]

That's looks great, those seats look very low. Must be an optical illusion.

Good work CW! Chevy motor seems to be the only weak link.
