Our friend Ian is hooking us up with custom seat cushions and a bikini top!

After much researching and deliberating, we think we've got it! Ian restructured and fabbed the motor mounts so that the engine sits in the frame properly so there is no cutting of the original CJ2a body. The struggle has been real this week at Roussel Ranch. Inbetween our roof blowing off multiple times and our sweet Lil undergoing major surgery on her hind leg, Ian and Jamie are still pushing through to get this CJ2a road worthy in time for Spring in The Desert.

The Backstory of Jamie's Jeep....
Jamie has wished and WISHED for a Willy's Jeep for her Christmas and Birthday present . Ian has had a beautiful Willys 1946 CJ2a Jeep in the back sitting on a Willys M38A1 Chassis for the past few years. Ever since Ian and Jamie were married, Jamie has been eyeing it for a build on Full Custom Garage, sadly the project didn't make it to the show, but now she gets her wish! Jamie is learning about the history of these jeeps and is learning a little wrenching from Ian. The desert is a great place to go "jeepin" and Jamie wants to be part of the club in the warmer months and feel the wind in her hair as she drives to the local market. Jamie is down to get her hands dirty in the garage on this one! We appreciate our amazing support system in the desert with helping us procure the parts needed for this fun build!
