UPDATE: More pics added to this post that show the build process. Thanks for sharing Paul!
Paul wrote to me a couple days ago to share his nearly completed project. I’ll bet it will be a kick to drive. He notes that eWillys “gets part of the blame for my madness.” Yeah, I’ve heard that a few times 🙂
“My project is a 1949 CJ-2A that i inherited. It has a custom tube chassis, 2wd, rack and pinion steering and 4 link rear suspension. The body is stretched and frt wheels moved forward. The 5.0 ford engine has an aluminum head and a roller cam. The tranny is a c-4 auto. The rear end is built with a narrowed 3.73 8.8 inch ford with traction lock. The fuel cell mounts under rear seat. Finally, the markings on the jeep are from my unit in vietnam. It is going to be a street rod and parade car. I have had a blast building it so far and hope to have it on the road soon.”
