My Jeep CJ wallhanging is complete and was sold on eBay.  Here’s a project overview with pictures of the results.

Full Disclosure...
This wallhanging was made from a used fiberglass front clip that was on a Jeep that once rolled. It is not in perfect condition.  There is a bit of rock rash on the outer edges of each fender:

The bottom lip of the fiberglass has some wear/damage right over where the Jeep framerails would be (these sections get nicely obscured once the bumper piece is mounted):

The fiberglass also has the typical hairline cracking:

The Making Of:

The wallhanging started as a 4WD Hardware 1-pc front clip that I ran for a number of years on my ‘66 CJ5:

Unfortunately the rest of the Jeep rusted out, and that along with a number of other factors caused me to decide to part the Jeep out, sell some of it, and keep other parts to use to build a new Jeep in the form of a like-era CJ6.  I had modifed the front clip in such a way that made it unattractive to potential buyers, so it never sold.  I decided it was time to make wall art out of it so I marked, measured, and cut off approximately the first 9” of fiberglass.  I chose this depth because any deeper and visually the tires would need sections of wheels to look right, and that sounded too hard.  This way the tire sections could just be rubber.

I use a fiberglass repair kit to fill and smooth out the holes under the turn signals where I had mounted tie downs, sanded down some of the spots where the fiberglass had rockrash from my rollover.  Note again that I didn’t do any body work in these spots - you can still see them if you look closeup, but as soon as you step back they really blend into the paint quite nicely.

The fiberglass got primered and painted with two coats of a mid 1960’s Ford Rangoon Red, the paint is Nason Full-Cryl II Arcrillic Enamel.  I shot the paint in my backyard with an HVLP gun.  I’m not a professional painter by any means but I think it came out quite well.

Other items:

• Headlight buckets.These started as original 60’s era buckets, but were too deep. I cut off the backsides which allowed them to be shallower, plus lighterweight and exposes the headlight plug if you want to wire up the headlights.
• Headlight Rings. These are original 60’s era Headlight trim rings.  I didn’t have a nice set on hand - these were heavily pitted and rusted.  I sanded them down and painted them with a Krylon aluminum paint.
• Turn Signals. These are also original 60’s era pieces.  They look nice from the outside, but are rusted a bit on the insides.  I’m pretty sure they would still work if you put bulbs in them and wired them up.
• Hood tie-downs. These kind of showed up in my collection - I’m sure the catch brackets are original army Jeep pieces but think the tie-downs themselves are aftermarket.  I sanded them down and gave them a fresh coat of Rustoleum semi-gloss black.
• Bumper. This is just fabbed up from 2"x4" for the frame sections and 1"x6" pine for the bumper.  It’s painted in Rustoluem semi-gloss black and I bolted on a spare Michigan license plate.
• Tires. These are cut using a sawzall from a 30” x 9.50 Firestone tire of some sort.  The tires had lots of tread but was heavily weather checked.  I cut pieces that include the white lettering.
