In this video we go over the complete build and restoration of our 1981 Jeep CJ-7. This Jeep started its life with an AMC straight 6 that we removed and replaced with a Chevy 350 h.o. small block that makes around 350 hp and 400 foot pounds of torque. We also did a complete frame off restoration where we applied bondo to the floor, powder coated the frame, made custom side steps, bumpers, and roll cage for this Jeep. Finally, we completely rebuilt the fuel and brake systems as well as both the rear drum brakes and front disk brakes. We then installed a bestop soft top as well as some racing seats and harnesses.
The CJ is now completely done and road legal so be sure to subscribe for offered videos and more driving footage in the future.
Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe!

Well Done! I have often thought of trying a resto but, I get lazy and worry I will not finish it. It was neat to see friend’s become involved in the lifting heavy things department. The year model CJ also gives the option to excellent powertrain choices. Going with 33’s coupled with the Generals makes wonderful eye candy including good street manners and off-road performance.

Just came across your channel. Amazing work man! This is exactly how i'd build one. I like how you didn't cut corners and did a quality job while still making it a very accessible build that isn't into the near 6 figures like many people end up doing.

I would only have done 2 things differently, this is not a rub against you guys!!! You did awesome. I would use that engine, but with a cam for low end torque, and I would have had the frame hot dipped galvanized instead of powder coated. This is an AWESOME JEEP!!
