Veronica looks a little too red to me. Maybe it’s just the photo.
The underside of my Jeep had an amazing amount of original paint. I had a paint store scan it. The came up with a 99% match. I had a spray can made up and I think it is a perfect match. |

Veronica was originally Luzon Red (I believe from the paint left showing)
Here she is now...

Does anyone have a current Color Code for Luzon Red? I took my PTO shroud to Sherwin Williams yesterday and they came up with this. 5AC-2826597-00 but now I'm wondering if that is correct, and if the PTO shroud was a different red. It seems brighter (like Harvard red) than what I've seen from color ships of Luzon Red and a small portion of my firewall that shows the original color.

Thanks for the reply re Universal Beige. Would like to match using your color card. Unfortunately not on FB. Can you send an email to twg02@yahoo.com, and I will reply? Happy to promise to return.

Well thanks for the endorsement, Jeep Lady, but I have to give credit where credit is due, and I could not have have done it without a lot of help from everyone here. Yours is looking great. Can't wait to see her when she's "done".

Thanks, Red48. It ought to look good. I used pictures of your Jeep to show my resto man how a really nice CJ2a should look. So thank you for setting the standard. Still have a ways to go before mine can stand up to yours, but I'm working on it. I'll be posting more pix when it's actually "done" (we know that's a fantasy). I just hijacked it for a few days while waiting for parts to rebuild the steering gear box.

Whether your windshield is a little tweeked or not, Jeep Lady, it still looks like a sweet ride. And Mom looks pretty happy too.

I think you are right, samcj2a. If you put a straight edge next to the windshield frame on the picture you can really see it. Likely the source of the warped appearance I mentioned. Also likely caused by the means you noted. looks to me like it could be a fairly easy fix. I'll point it out to the resto guy............just when I though the spending spree was over.
If the rain clears I will get it out later and take some more pics. Looks like the windshield warp starts lower on the other side and is more pronounced. Without the bend it probably would look closer to the angle on jpets.

Not to dwell on your windshield, but something that I noticed in your photo, above, is a slight rearward bend in the upper part of the windshield frame, perhaps half way up near the round portion of the lollipop bracket/adjusting arm. That was caused, most likely, by people using the windshield as a grab bar when getting in the Jeep. As for the overall angle, to me it looks very close to jpet's except for that little bend.

My windshield does seem to be leaning a bit further back than this pic of "The General". Hope Jeff doesn't mind my borrowing his pic for comparison. Good eye FBill. You and a couple of others on here seem to see every little detail that most of the rest of us miss. It may also have a slight warp to it, which doesn't show in this pic. Probably will cause fitting problems. I will confront that when I get to it. Need some financial recovery time. Paying someone else to do the work is pricey. I'm going to make a "Reedkini" using jpet's directions and I can fit it to the Jeep as I go. I may decide to make a whole top later, but one thing at a time.
We have searched and searched for a better picture of the Jeep when it was new, but nothing has turned up so far.

Jeep Lady, that does look really nice.. Is it the angle of the photo or is your windshield leaning too far back? If it is it may cause you headaches fitting the top again. SOmewhere here is a measurement from the windshield to tha back of the tub, check Jpets top threads.....
And the old picture from the 50's is really good. Too bad you don't have a full view from then, it looks like a great stock jeep with all the right stuff on it.

Thanks guys. I'm delighted. Still a few little things to do and a few minor glitches to work out. Muffler guy routed the exhaust system wrong for one thing. Put the muffler under the gas tank and the tail pipe is just behind the tag and is cooking it! Gonna do it over. And the steering gear box has to be rebuilt. It leaks at the sector shaft from having grease instead of oil in it in a previous life.
