It all started innocently enough. I needed to put my race ZJ back together to compete in the "Battle of the Beaters" at this year's Duct Tape Drags. I've already run this same Grand Cherokee in the $3K Hooptie Challenge at the Zip-Tie Drags and then the same event for a few more years. I have stolen some parts off it for another project, but it should be easy enough to put back together.

The only real problem was that I made headers to fit this chassis, but they went on the Off-Road Hot Rod. I had some long tube headers, so I decided to fit those. How hard could it be?

So after I cut apart most of the front end, I realized that I needed a completely new front suspension. Luckily, I had the front from a 1976 MGB lying around. It might be a perfect fit, as long as I don't expect the front tires to go back under the car... Looks like I'm accidentally building a funny car!
