FJ-3A Restoration

Ron shared a link to the restoration of his FJ-3A, currently undertaken by Corbetts Auto Restoration and Customs in Cherryville, North Carolina.

The FJ was sold back in October of 2013 (http://www.ewillys.com/2013/10/21/1963-fj-3a-fleet-van-auburn-mi-1200/) and looked like this:

Now, as you can see below and from the photos on Facebook, the rebuilding is just beginning.

    this is very cool. check out their pics, you can see how the frame started as a CJ-5 and was extended in the rear. The outboard rear spring mounts appear to be FC-150-like. Bill

    We stopped by on our way home with our just bought 1962 FJ3A. Everyone at the shop was very helpful. I also got to see in person what I had only seen online before, It looks great. They are doing the right things, no cutting corners. I hope to get back that way before it is finished.
