Today was a great couple days . . .

Did some wiring on the Painless kit. Wired the Part of the Dash, redone Speedometer (from Kevin in Utah), Motor, Battery, Headlights, Park Lights, and Horns. Got the new IPF H4 Relay, Blue Bulbs, and Drake Billet Headlight Rings.

and adding some pics of the Alice '66 Park Lights and Hood Shocks.

. . . may try and start it tomorrow!

Coming along! Won't be long now and you'll be cruzin

Nicely done!

Got it started yesterday. Battery had been on a Buddy for the last few months. Installed it, poured 2 gallons of fuel, sprayed some starting fluid, cranked a couple tries, but started and ran perfectly. Sounded great for being out for 7 months. Dual Flowmasters sounded good, Alternator is charging to 14+ V. Found a few leaks in the cooling line and fuel line but tightened hose clamps and off and running. Found a transmission leak, tightened all the bolts a 1/4 turn and seams to be fixed as well.

Here is a quick video . . .

The rebuilt dash cluster looks awesome! The headlight rings - sweet! I can almost smell the fumes from a freshly started engine...

J.D.

Can I come over and have you route my spark plug wires ?...................................that looks awesome !

Put some seats in it and take her for a spin.

And the kicker is you will be able to say "I put this together myself"

very impressive my freind !

Looks awesome!! Very nice! One thing it looks like but it could just be the angle...Is your upper radiator hose kinked? It looks a little misshapen right where it bends out of the filler neck?

sounds good man, i cannot wait to see that thing, the engine looks great too, its making me jealous and wish i had the money to build my motor!

Ok,

So -

Now that it runs, you planning to bring it ot the breakfast this month??? Or are we waiting for the fun run for its formal introduction?

:)

JD - The cluster was done by Kevin in Utah and does amazing work.

Crawler - The Top Radiator hose it totally kinked. It had a 2" body lift and no radiator shroud so it needs a new piece. Good eye.

75 - Thanks for saying it sounds good - means a lot from you when your's sounds so good.

D - Hope to get it driving soon! I am relieved the weather is rainy - it makes it less painful!

Hockey - likely riding with Cortez to the Breakfast but maybe the June Breakfast.

I am hoping to have it done for the Car Show but we will see. Thanks guys.

well its the truth, and thanks, im happy with how mine sounds, i just want it a lil' quieter, when ever i do the efi i'll probably put a cat on it, and that way the wife doesn't complain about how it stinks, lol i think she's , i love the smell! on a serious note, hopefully i can get up to denver soon to see your truck, and everyone else, it's been a while, i haven't been up there since the bumper build, money's been tight as i just switched jobs over to phil long ford chapel hills

Dont have any cookie marks in my front yard.... Your taking way too long to get that thing back together.

Don't worry Rob - the donuts are coming

Got the Front Bumper installed (just need bolts) and chrome center caps in the Wheels.

Phenominal, that is all I can say! Anytime your ready to start your next project I am ready for you to drive it on over...I will even store it in my garage for free!

Installed the Rear Billet tail Trims and ZOSO was right about not needing the nut tinnerman tabs - the bolts hold the assembly in place then the lens attaches to the assembly.

Had a fun weekend working on the Bronco . . .

Installed the wiper motor - looks like I have to lower the motor to clear the cage. If ya have a Motor Bracket let me know.

Added the Ford Grill Letters thanks to 76 giving me mounting hardware and dash lights - so awesome! Cannot wait to install them in the dash - they are in flawless condition.

Added Hella Off Road Lights to the Front Bumper.

Installed the new steering column, tach mount, and steering wheel.

I am so impressed with the amount of work you have done it is truly amazing!

You ready to come do the body work on mine? =)

Or how about are you done yet?

I was looking back through some of your old pics. What cage is that? I like it.

Things are coming along. I am hoping to be done on weekend of the 11th which means I have all summer to redo the mistakes lol.

I really liked doing auto body and would love to help ya out. I have a lot of my tools that I am happy to lend out so please don't buy anything before checking with me. I have a great Paintucation DVD, huge block sanding set, 2 air powered sanders (DA and Longboard), and set Devilbis Finishline spray guns.

I hope to be done before 777 but he hides pictures so he may already be done and holding out on us. He may even have it at the Poker Run this weekend.

The cage and bumpers were built in Utah by Element Offroad. I was going to call them when I have some $ to build be some rocker protection but I think CrawlerCreations can do just as do just as good of a job or better. I want the tube rockers to have a step to make it easier for people to get in. I am excited to see how Zilla mounts his Air Rockers and likely to the same design mount.

Crawler is building a rear tire carrier for me and cannot wait to get the tire off the floor and on my truck.

I am building a rear seat mount to mount Corbeau seats in the back so I hope that works out or I may have a set of seats for sale

Since you bailed on the fun run that means you worked on the bronco all day and am 95% done now?


A little birdie told me that someone else is almost ready.....

Hmmmm not sure who that would be that passed me but excited to find out.

I wish I was workings on mine this weekend but no luck.

Your holding out on the pics. I know you got a lot done now let's see it.

It was a great weekend and was able to get a few things done.

I do taxes and not a mechanic or mechanical as the rest of the group so everything takes 3+ times longer.

Rob - you would have had this back on the road in April.

Here are a few pics . . .
