Thanks! Considering it was only 19 y/o when Dad bought it, then he stored it indoors for 30 years, it's really in good shape overall. Dad never drove it, except for each fall when he'd tow it from OK to CO for elk hunting, and I'd bet he only did that maybe 5 times. But, it has had some minor Bubba mods done to it before he got it.

For being 52 years old though, it's in outstanding condition, considering the fate of most old Jeeps. That's why I want to do a showroom restoration, it's a perfect candidate. Won't be a show queen though, it WILL be driven over every Colorado mountain trail I can possibly do! No rock crawling though. Camping, fishing and photo trips. It's a Willys, I want it to live a Willys life.

I could blather on and on about it, and I've got tons of photos, but this IS a gun forum, after all. There's a bunch of photos here, if you're interested... http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b150/rinselman/ several sub-albums that start with 1956 CJ5. Help yourself....
