Hello all, I am starting the tear down of my 1965 CJ5. Was looking for recommendations on what I should look out for and any tips and tricks that may help. It has a Dauntless 225 V6 motor and a T14 transmission that need to get rebuilt. Currently have the motor pulled and partly into the rear down to do a frame up rebuild of the entire vehicle. I do not know any reputable machine/engine rebuild shops in the Delaware area. Any recommendations are appreciated.

what part of de r u in? The cj5 is a pretty simple jeep and most replacent parts should be available. Inspect the boxed sectioms of the frame for rot.

Located in Dover, DE. I’m planning on sending the frame and body to get acid dipped and re-painted

If it's like most CJ's acid dipping the body won't leave much left.
Are you doing a "restore to orignial" or planning modifications? -
I plan on restoring to how it was when my mother had it in highschool…
