Akron, Ohio

This Jeep was brought to us in pieces another shop started oni t and the customer wound up bringing it to us. This Jeep required extensive fabrication to the firewall to accomodate the 327 Chevy engine. The radiator, crossmember, gas pedal, brake pedal and entire braking system all had to be fabricated along with the seats. Someone had aleady cut the firewall so a new firewall and dog house had to be fabricated. The axles were geared to 5:13 and the transmission is a 2 speed power glide that all had to be fabricated in order to work. The Jeep was painted with the color Mango Tango and was Raptor Lined underneath and inside the same color.
