Howdy -- I've been a full-time resident of CO in the past (Parker), and now that I retired I'm a "part-time" resident. I spend summers in Breckenridge (along with a few winter weeks to get some skiing in), and most of the winter in Rockwall, TX. My '74 will be with me in the summers, and I'm looking forward to wheelin' with some of you guys. I am primarily a "mining road" guy, but I've done a bunch of the stuff down in Ouray and the obvious around Summit County, like Mesquito Pass. My '74 was purchased new by my grandpa, and I've done a complete frame off restro mod. It's now got a C4, A/C, beard leather seats, electric boost power disc brakes and a few other goodies. I've taken a few show trophies with it, but decided it was time to take it to the dirt. I just returned from Bronco Daze down in SoCal, and took her on her maiden voyage in the dirt. We had a blast. Here is a pic of my EB with the hartop, but I've just put BC's canvas top on..I don't see a way to upload more than 1 pic, but here is a link with some pics from Bronco Daze ... Hope to see you guys around next summer... Scott

Scott, good to see you here at the CCB. Glad you found us. Damn nice Bronco you have there. Hope to see you around the trails here sometime next summer.

Welcome. Nice looking truck. Pretty cool the Bronco has been in the family since new.

That is a very cool Bronco story. Honored to have ya in the club - I enjoyed looking at your Bronco on the CB.com Calendar. That is an amazing Bronco and hope to see it and meet you sometime. Welcome to the club!

Thanks for the welcome, fellas! I'm definitely looking forward to meeting you guys and hopefully making some runs with you. In the mean time, I've got a few things I'll be doing to my truck over the winter to better prepare her for her CO adventures!! Here's another shot of the truck with the new top on...I really like that BC top! See ya around... Scott

Welcome to CCB.

Sweet looking rig !

What's under the hood ?

Thanks -- it has a 5.0 crate from Ford Racing. Fast EFI, C4 tranny, BC Serpentine conversion, ABS power brake M/C, dual optimas. Not a race car by any stretch -- but gets me down the highway very nicely. This isn't a great shot, but it shows a little...

Welcome Coach, glad to see ya on here and look forward to a few runs.

Nice rig and nice work.

Any chance you can share a little more about the ABS? I'd be curious to know how that is set up.

Welcome Scott! Glad to see you here!

You have an update on your Baja Racing "endeavors"?

Boy, I really was out of the loop on that. Sorry to hear you got hurt. I can see why you're taking a break. 450 miles is really something for the Baja and it's cool to hear your crew continue on with the racer! I pit crewed for BCB and Crazy Horse in 2005 and neither rig made it very far, but it was still an awesome experience. Someday, I'll go back.

Anyway, keep us posted on any new racing aspirations!

Well, I just purchased a Big Oly replica and will be picking it up from Sol in a few weeks (in Denver). I'm going back to Baja in '14 for the NORRA Mex 500. I can't do the 1000 this yr because it conflicts with my sons graduation from college. I will be in Moab for the Safari, and would love to connect with any of you guys then!

Sounds like a great Christmas for you Scott!!

I want to get back to baja so bad!!

Let's have a get together when you pick it up ! I'd love to see BigOly in person! Peter

I'll let you guys know exact date of pick-up when I finalize plans. I'll be coming from Breck, pick it up in Denver and head straight to Texas where it will be kept while preparing for Baja.

I'm not sure what it is about Baja, but it just gets in your blood doesn't it?

Looking forward to seeing this soon !

Welcome!
