A few years ago I was lost in the endless google looking at all sorts of random cars, builds and new ideas. I came across this picture of an old slammed willys Jeep. For some reason when I see jeeps with their tops off it reminds me of a man go kart haha and so combine that with this awesome, low to the ground, v8 hot rod looking jeep, I feel in love.
The thought of slamming a Jeep, v8 swapping it, and doing all the weird suspension and steering modification needed seemed out of my league. And at the time Cleetus had just started to get popular with leroy (thankfully) and the naked C5 Corvette popped into my head and so began the crazy idea.
Far sooner than expected I found a C5 Corvette that was in my price range. It had a Silverado 5.3 lq engine because the previous owner blew the 5.7 LS1. Knowing I wanted to eventually boost it, but currently just wanting to cruise it, this seemed like a perfect buy.
After parting our all the parts I didn’t need from the corvette I ended up being only $2300 into the corvette and was able to get all the Jeep parts I needed for less than $900. And so the madness began.
