crazy idea, but is it too crazy?

So I like weird and crazy stuff. Like putting a grand wagoneer on a shortened 1-ton chevy frame and then shoe horning a 12v cummins witj a turbo and intercooler attached to a manual trans in. I like the look of the bullnose commandos, minus the rear end. I like the looks of the cj and yj from the rear. What about putting a bullnose front clip on my cj/yj tub?! I have both tubs and both front clips, is this too crazy? Anyone tried it, seen it or heard of it being done?

I always love the out of the box thinking. One of my first big body projects was putting a YJ tub on an XJ. Get er done.

I put a cj2a on a chevy frame a long time ago. It was what I had at the time. The chevy frame was really big for the little flat fender. It didnt match the lines at all. The belly looked like it had a huge body lift. That combined with the 205 that hangs down really limited the belly clearance. The wagoner is bigger so it may match better.
I love the idea of a Cummins in an old wagoneer though. I used to wheel with a guy that had 4 of them. I was always impressed by how they did almost stock.

Oh wagzilla(the wag build I mentioned) is already in the works. Waiting on my uncle(it is his build) to decide if he is going to move the front axle forward, link it or leave it alone. We will hopefully have it and my build @ jeep jamboree this coming year.
