@RustyRay – Not sure what to make of this. There's not much left of a 1948 Willys CJ-2A (if that was the starting point) -- and even that is a conglomeration from different CJ years/models. Curious to know the inspiration/motivation behind this build. ...
The inspiration/motivation behind the vehicle was for pure fun and enjoyment. Please let me know if you have any specific questions or want more details on anything. Thanks!

@Farmer40 – What body/frame work was done to accommodate the engine swap and convert to rear wheel drive? What metal was used to build the new hood? ...
The hood is aluminum and the frame is a 1994 Toyota pickup with a 22r engine, fuel injected, with a manual 5 speed transmission. Let me know if you have any more questions or would like additional pictures of anything.
