A couple wiring issues... but is running great after 20 plus years sounds good. 

It looks better in pictures, I am not the best at painting.

Sorry have been inactive, just been painting and reassembly and some family health issues.. ALL good now!

Thanks for all the great information here:

Looks great!  I follow you on IG and your pictures are what made me change my mind on a color scheme for mine!  There will be a clone to yours in Wisconsin next year hopefully.

Yes, very nicely done, and I bet the paint work is better than they came with new. 

That is also one of my favorite color schemes on a Jeep. I even have considered using that on my CJ5, but a little voice keeps telling me to repaint it the original Presidential Red it came with.
If you can't get there in a Jeep you don't need to be there!

Looks great, really smart. I don’t know how you took those pictures but they all have a toy car look about them. FAB CJ. One day mine will look that good Smile

Beauty! I am the proud owner of a '46 CJ-2A w/ column shift for 32 years, as well. Black & very nice but hardly up to yours! Great job. Use it & enjoy.
