Special thanks to Henry Oakley for allowing us to build this one as we wanted. Nightmare as we know it, wife named it the first time she saw it, is a 1981 CJ5. The engine is a 304 V8, the original engine sent out and remanufactured, transmission, transfer case, and axles were rebuilt and upgraded in-house. Totally new body, we don't paint but we did this one. Updated fuel and ignition to a Holley Sniper fuel injection with Hyper-spark ignition. Dash is running the original renewed gauges, upgraded radio, Bestop top and seats. We tend to blur the line sometimes between, repair, rebuild, and art. This definitely got a little on the art side down to the red, white, and blue fasteners on this American classic. Now I get to drive it for a few days and tweak on it before Henry gets to take his dream home
