There's a number of nice detail pictures that show some nice work. Note the modern running gear (likely mid 70s CJ-5 running gear). I can't say I'm a fan of the tranny/tc mount — it's a single bar that just waiting to be hit by a rock. It most definitely needs a skid plate of some kind. I think the body is fiberglass, but I"m not entirely sure.
"Motoexotica is proud to offer this 1947 Willy's CJ-A2 Jeep 4×4. This Jeep has a 3 speed automatic transmission with newer big 33 inch mud tires. This tough Jeep is ready to play in the mud or just go for a drive. It has power steering, power brakes and a working heater!
The motor is Buick 231 Cu In 3.8 liter V6. It is fun to drive with the GM 3 speed Turbo Automatic Transmission. The motor runs strong. It has a quadrajet 4-barrel carb with an aluminum Edelbrock air intake and a Jeep transfer case with a Dana 44 rear-end."
Is it just me that’s missing the link to this jeep?

Is that driveshaft about 4″ long? I can’t stand looking at the bumpers on it….Big round tube. Don’t like the frame cover in front either. Looks odd. I don’t think I’d worry much about the crossmember…Looks like the most off road it sees is an occasional pot hole in the pavement, however if you planned on using it off road, it’d be smart to add a skidplate…. Nice looking rig otherwise…
