'03 f-150 SC 4x4 5.4L
this one has:
4.56s / detroit locker / superchips / vhf radio & c.b. (never hurts to have both) / BILSTEINs / flowmaster w/turndown / MAG-HYTEC rear diff & trans covers
...what shes gonna get:
LTS front & rear / deavers / custom prerunner bumper / more lights / e-fan(?) / 4 row radiator / hood louvres / hiflow y pipe...and then???
'86 BRONCO XLT 5.0
this one has:
4.56s / full length headers
what shes gonna get:
about 4" taller / detroit locker / cage / 351w...the rest depends on whether or not i want to try to keep it street legal...race seats and the rear deck off permanently doesnt sound too shabby!
its a slow process - but people often underestimate the ability of an obsessive compulsive person to be stubborn.

'78 bronco
400/c6
body is off, just got all the body mounts fixed (7/8 were bad!
)
Frame is sitting in the shop, just unbolted the rear axle and chopped off old spring hangers. Deciding what paint scheme to use as we speak. I'm thinking blue or black frame, gray springs (the front coils came powder coated gray, so..) and black axles.
Then its getting lifted 4inches, body back on. Getting a cage put in(probably S&W cage), some new seats and harnesses.[take a moment to finally take the thing wheelin again and beat the hell out of it..add fixing whatever i break to the list]. Then maybe gears/ARB air locker for the front, winch bumper+winch, custom canvas top to go over the cage in the rear. Maybe come custom light bars/lighting.
After all that is done I'll take a look at that 460 that's sitting next to the shop rotting away and see what needs to be done to it to make it run.
Somewhere in there I have to get a tow rig and trailer big enough for two '78s.
