Re: 74 Baja Race Bronco - Baja or Bust You might need to be working on it at night, so they could come in handy!

Re: 74 Baja Race Bronco - Baja or Bust Doesn’t look like much has been done but we have officially turned the corner on electrical and plumbing. Just missing a few connections for each, electrical is about 95% done and tested. I will go out on a limb and say we are two weeks away from firing it up. Maybe a run around the block.
As always when you fabricate or customize everything we are having to install - tweak - then re-install to get things where we need them. Very time consuming but worth it.       _________________ 1976 Bronco "Green, Yellow, whatever", 1969 Bronco "Red", 1972 Bronco Stocker "Kind of Blue/Grayish" |

Re: 74 Baja Race Bronco - Baja or Bust #35 is ALIVE! Started right up with the help of some fuel priming. Have a few gremlins but overall pretty solid so far. Should be ready to do a lap this weekend and then start buttoning things up for shake down and paint.

Re: 74 Baja Race Bronco - Baja or Bust Last major fabrication is done, Front suspension and steering is complete just needs some paint and a few details tidied up to be 100% up front. Somehow we got air bumps stuffed into the motor mounts, they are not at an ideal angle (8-9 degrees off vertical) but for the wheel travel and lift we are running its pretty damn impressive that they fit at all and allow full up travel. i will probably add some shortened poly bumps on the frame as emergency stops as the first thing that would hit if an air bump fails is the trac bar and diff case with oil pan.. Hopefully get the brakes bled this week and take a run around the block before the next round of snow hits. 60 days left!!!!
