Hi, My name is Frank. I am friends with Drew (hockydad's son) and just purchased my first bronco from Zillacon. Mr. Evans helped us find it and get started with a few projects. We have named her Santa's Sleigh because the glove box contained 2 tree ornaments when I bought it. So far we have replaced the rear tank, all the fuel filler lines and installed a new horn. She is a 75 Ranger, 302, 3sp on the floor. Stock suspension, with 31's and plans for power disk brakes a lift with 33's and a lot of fun. More as I learn and build her. Thanks for the great club. Puffy |

Nice work! Welcome to the club. My bronco(s) have taught me most of my mechanical knowledge and they are a great learning experience. J.D. |

Saw that rig when it was still sitting in Zilla's driveway. It looked like a great starting point. Don't be shy about hitting up club members for help if you need something. Welcome to the club! |

Outstanding Frank! Do you have it back or is it still in the shop getting the floors done? There is a snow bashing 4X4 trip for Jan 2 that you need to get that rig ready for. That is Drew's goal on his. |

So the floors are done, and you have seats to install. Paint up that fresh sheet metal to protect it from the rust bugs... Then what is next? It sounds to me like if you put some tires on that sled you will be ready to bash some snow come Jan 2nd. I cant wait to see you driving that rig. Should be a blast! |

Progress, are you going to make it to the EFI install / BBQ at Rox's place? Should be some good learning going on for future installs. |
