About my CJ5

I found this Jeep on a farm about 3 years ago. The guy who owned it was a hot rod mechanic, but after he finished going through the 304, he ran out of money and had to sell. When I first drove it, it had open headers and no brakes. There is extremely minimal rust damage, and other than a hot cam, the drive train is factory. Hopefully, one day it will be up and running good.
