Well I think the time has come for me to start my Jeep (1963 CJ5) restoration some time in January 2018. I’m going to bring it to my shop in a few weeks and start the tear down process and will remove the body at this time. I am looking for a body repair and paint shop that I can work with to have it painted. It is basically rust free and only has some minor body work to do. I would like to find someone on the west side of the river (Brusly, Addis, Plaquemine), but I will bring it to someone if you can vouch for someone in another location that does this type work. I am not trying to go cheap, but also don’t need the type of paint job you see at the SEMA car show either. I’m looking for an old school type guy that knows body work, as you can’t just purchase parts for the jeep like you can new cars. Sure, you can buy repop parts, but the quality sucks, thus a need for someone who knows body work.
I posted some photos of my jeep here before when I brought it back from Colorado, but will add some for this post so you can see what I’m talking about. If someone who does this type work is a member of Bayou Shooter contact me and let’s talk.
