Anybody out there restored one of these? I am starting to redo one I bought this summer. I would like to do a glass body, anybody done this to theres, if so which body did you use? It looks like I may need a new frame for mine anybody know where there is a nice clean frame for sale? I also plan to lift it a little what have you guys used? Thanks, Steve.

My brother is just starting a complete restoration on his CJ7, a 1979 I believe. It has the factory 304 V8 and three speed. He is going to replace the frame and use an aluminum body. Here are a few links for some Jeep parts places.

Thank you very much for the links. I hope you keep your 45, it's a sweet looking boat.

I was out mudding yesterday in my 03 rubicon...a winch is a very wise investment

And twist the frame into a piece of liquorish

I had a CJ7 for nearly 20 years. You can get the glass bodies with the function tailgates and the one piece hood/fenders that open up the other way allowing for great engine access. Lots of parts to be had and lots of money to spend!!!! Just don't waste any of that money on a 304....

I love it to death! I am just feeling things out to see what way to go. I have had quite a bit of interest in it already, so we will see how things go. If it sells I will find or build a boat to meet the needs. If it doesn't sell I will do the work to the Apache. I am not really in a rush to do anything right now though. If we do the Apache it will not be until after this season anyway.
