That's great Dave, you'll do it right, so you'll only do it once.

Sounds like a good plan there. I'm sure it will come out looking very good when it is all done.

The Bronco Sees Daylight!

The chassis made a daring daylight appearance for the 1st time in over a year!
Moved up to my place so I can work on it easier and get it ready for the tub.

New Addition!!

Picked this up today, well not litteraly, I will be picking it when I move to Vegas in a few weeks.
79 with a fresh 351, 203 and the best part NO RUST!
She has a few dents in the rear quarters but nothing too bad.
I will be using the tub on my project and probably the engine as well, the axles will be going under the Explorer.

Finally got some time this morning to start the tear down of "The Hulk"
This is pretty much the only rust on the truck, nothing too bad, some mud behind the pillar caused it.


A little trimming and weld in a patch, no biggie.
Floors look great

Looks like this was a Free Wheeler at one point, PO painted over the stripes.


Got the front taken down, just about ready to pull the engine

That looks pretty good. Maybe I ah forgetting but, I don't remember you getting a green and black 78-9... Either way, I wish TGM only had that much rust.

I just picked it up a few weeks ago. I thought about driving it for a bit but I was too excited to get my project going again!
