Offered is a 1946 CJ-2A that has undergone a frame-off, nut and bolt, rotisserie restoration. The body was completely media blasted and rusted panels removed by drilling out rivets with a rivet extraction tool. New body panels were then welded into place and include the front floorboard with hat channels and the right rear quarter panel.
Meticulous care was taken through extensive research to identify correct paint color for each component. The Harvest Tan was mixed using the original color found inside the headlight rings (a small section of the original paint has been preserved inside each ring for posterity). Wheels were painted to match very early advertisements and photos in the rarely seen two-tone configuration - Sunset Red surrounded by Harvest Tan with hand painted black pin stripes. Paint is a catalyzed 3-part Polyurethene Acrylic.
The electrical system has been gone through and components rebuilt (starter and generator) and replaced with period correct items.
New period correct components include radiator, NDT tires, water hose kit and tubes, air hoses, generator arm, generator bushing support and tension bracket (early), battery tray, battery hold down hardware with correct wing nuts, dash knobs, volt meter, front bumper, fender welting, firewall grommets, cogged fan belt, radiator welting, radiator felt, wooden hood bumper blocks, hood tie-down strap, rebuilt vacuum wiper engine, wiper vacuum lines, bulbs, accelerator pedal, exhaust system, oil plug gasket, oil hoses, brake hoses, windshield glass, windshield welting, windshield tape, missing windshield star washer, body to frame welting and bolts, tailgate chains and covers, tail light, rear reflector, master cylinder, gas tank and sender, brake sender, brakes, wheel cylinders, 's' lines, plugs, plug wires, points and condenser, footman loops, hood latches and seat covers from Beachwood Canvas mounted on original springs and seat frames (except for back seat bottom cushion - original is included on request along with original gas tank and sender). There is much more, but basically the entire vehicle has been disassembled, inspected and reassembled with replacement and correct hardware added where needed - receipts will bear this out.
Vehicle odometer showed 24,745 miles before the rebuild.
The vehicle runs perfectly as it should. All gauges and lights work as they should.
