1949 Willys Jeepster with 350 Swap: When Restomod Becomes Compromise
This '49 Jeepster wears a 350ci V8 and TH350 automatic—the restomod playbook executed competently but without conviction. Mustang II front end, power disc brakes, modern comfort touches. It's the kind of build that works fine but raises a question: why not go all-in on what made the original interesting.
The 350 swap is the automotive equivalent of playing it safe. Fine engineering, zero personality.
