Thanks guys, i guess you could consider me a kid i am only 19, and i act like a child most of the time. I had only really heard of ted but never listen to any music or seen the shows. I don't watch the speed ch much cause the commercials are too repetitive. I am usually on the history channel or discovery, sometimes comedy and a few others. A lot of times i am on here instead of watching tv. Ill go and check out the videos on youtube when i get a bit more time.

Have you seen the latest version of Ted's Bronco, it is awesome mechanically.

That truck has seen at least 4 updates. It could be worth at least $500,000 by now.

I watched a few clips of the episode when they took the old pass Qpanel out and replaced it. It looked pretty good but i didn't like the red mist paint on the bottom, it made me think it was just dirty. I haven't seen the latest updates though. I wish i could do that kind of stuff on TGM.

Nothing really. Been working alot on the Mustang. I did snag an old set of KC lights that someone was gonna throw away. Not sure if they work or not but they were free so I'll see what happens. Also I think that I have a leak in my Brake booster, just haven't got around to checking or replacing it yet.

Drove the Zebra to work this morning. Fired up like a champ! Plus I had to drive it up a ~35-40* hill to the road from my backyard. It all started with a simple tune-up on the 68, come to find out a points ignition system is a PITA. So I decided to order a new electric ignition set-up for the Mustang. Till then, its Bronco time!! Shame too I just had a new exhaust put on the Mustang, full length headers with an H-pipe then some nice Magnaflows.

Brett - did you order a Pertronix Igniter? I put one on the wife's '68 when we bought it back in '99 and never looked back...a NICE (and simple) setup!

Yes I did! I have read all these great reviews but was too bone headed to get one until the points crapped out on me.

Thanks man! that has made a huger difference in how the car looks, the biggest performance thing I've done so far is swap out the manual drums for 4 piston power discs from CSRP, super easy and such a difference.

Bronco News! The truck didn't wanna start on the way back from the store, I think my MLPS needs adjusted again, every now and then its gets picky and won't work. Go on E$OD, keep buggin me, I'd have an even bigger reason to swap that C4 from the mustang in there and throw an AOD or ZF in the mustang
