I wasn't even hot rodding it. It took me about 4 1/2 hours to replace all the plugs and it runs like a top again. I have a before pic of the front end. I sanded and clear coated the headlights, replaced the fog lights, repainted the the lower grill and then polished it. The headlights looked so good I had to do the tail lights too.
Big difference in the headlights. When I did mine I used the 3m kit but did not clear coat.

Chief, the lights look great. I drove the 96 Bronco to Waycross today,to take 2 ASE tests, A-5 brakes & G-1 maint.&gen repair(passed both). One less thing to worry about, until December then I'll take 2 more. The Bronco ran perfect, about a 120 mile round trip. Chief I wish you lived closer, I could really use a good tech and a service writer.

I was thinking maybe our roll call list should be a sticky. What y'all think?

Thanks Bronco,

It is hard to get the full effect in the pictures. The previous owner had painted the lower grille totally black and I really hated it. It was also about to fall off because it was only held on by the top 2 bolts. It is good to finally get around to working on the lightning. I am going to put the new chrome grille on the 79 today.

The trash people won't take automotive stuff like that so I have to take it and a pile of stuff I have to the landfill on Saturday.

I got new tires and an alignment on the wife's ride yesterday morning. I just need to order a brake light switch to get the cruise working again and it will finally be completed.
I put a new battery in the motorhome and got it up and starting on it's own again!!! I got one from my local parts store with a 2 year free replacement for 100 bucks with my military discount, can't beat that price.

Only 2 more things to get running again, the riding mower and the 79. The list is getting shorter by the day. Looks like rain tomorrow so I got to get busy..

I will get with the moderators and see about making it a sticky.

Didn't get to work on the trucks today, had to do emergency repairs to the driveway. Our driveway goes over a 6 ft drainage steel tube. The rain had started to wash one of the sides away and it would have made our driveway collapse if it would have been a few days of rain. So about 30 wheelbarrow full of dirt, pebbles and some field stone our and driveway is good for a while. I probably will have to add more stone later on but it is good enough for now.

The Roll Call thread has been moved to the top as a sticky.

The rain started as I went to bed and it was still raining now. I can't complain as I think we need some rain. The wife has plans for me to paint the baby's room since I can't work outside.

I wish we had it here Bronco. I would much rather be outside than inside.

Hey GT FUN guess what I found today!!! The stickers!!!! For some reason I am having a problem uploading pics, might be the weather. I have 3 different ones, I have the oval, diamond plate and the Georgia Flag.
