I found a couple of pics of my 1947 CJ 2A I built about 20 years ago and thought I would post them here just for fun. It was my first "hybrid" - a 47 CJ 2A front clip mated to a 1980 CJ 5 tub and chassis. It had a 304 V8 and 4 speed combo and was smokin fast. I had to remake the flat fenders 4 inches longer and get 2 hoods and extend the hood 4 inches also by welding them together. The firewall was also a bear since it was so much narrower, I had to move the pedals over some and relocate the fuse block to the inside of the steering column. Overall it was pretty easy though and looked awesome.
