 Re: Rox Crusher's frame off refresh and 5.0 EFI swap While the top piece in mine has no rust, I know the lower sheet metal is rusted out. I think the mount for the clutch is on rusted metal and I know it's just going to blow right through there one of these days.
Is there a "fix" for this area of the bronco so that no water can get down in there? I haven't researched yet.
You're doing FINE by the way! Looks better than it did I'm sure.

Re: Rox Crusher's frame off refresh and 5.0 EFI swap Is welding like knott tying?
If you can't tie a good knott, tie allot of em
If you can't make a good weld, layer allot of em?

Re: Rox Crusher's frame off refresh and 5.0 EFI swap I know what you mean. As I work on my truck, I keep finding shoddy repairs I wish I could blame on a PO.

Re: Rox Crusher's frame off refresh and 5.0 EFI swap I finished up the cowl repairs and cleaning up the engine bay.
Gonna drill the holes in the firewall for the RJM wiring harness and the BC Broncos/Vintage Air A/C I will be installing someday down the road.

Re: Rox Crusher's frame off refresh and 5.0 EFI swap You'll make more progress if you take the body off the wall. That said, lookin' good! I wish I was getting welding done on mine.

Re: Rox Crusher's frame off refresh and 5.0 EFI swap Thanks to Mike and Shawn for helping me pull the 4R70W out of an Explorer today !
We had to wait our turn to get at at it as it was the only 5.0 Explorer in the joint.
Pull-n-Pay was packed like a no charge strip club in a college town.

Re: Rox Crusher's frame off refresh and 5.0 EFI swap Sweet, I'm jealous. You get all those bugs worked out, and take lots of notes, so I have an expert to talk to when it comes around to my turn.
Get 'r' done, Rox!

Re: Rox Crusher's frame off refresh and 5.0 EFI swap Saturday: welded up a few lingering holes in the firewall and watched Viper tear into the 4R70W
Sunday: seam sealed the engine bay and drank a couple beers while my neighbor painted it
gaining momentum, should have the body back on by Saint Patrick's Day
then floor replacement and final push to finish EFI swap
