Oh How The Mighty Have Fallen

Crazy to think of where this chapter was about 10 years ago. I hope you are all well, traveling down the road of life.

Definitely alive here last I checked, as for the "well" part, still waiting to hear from my doctor on that one.

I did finally pick up my '90 Bronco ED Ed. a couple of weeks ago. Now I'm trying to find time to swap out the tailgate for a less crappy one. Both in the garage, but finding time seems to be the hard part currently.

Greg, you know better than to post something like that and include zero pictures. Shame on you.

I honestly don't have any current pictures of it, they are all 3 years old from when I originally took the project on. Currently the tailgate is off and getting replaced in my "free time" so pictures will have to wait until it's at least in one piece. I'm hoping to get to it soon, but a lot of it requires an extra set of hands due to the weight of the glass and tailgate. The wife started a job a while back so cornering her for help is harder than it used to be.

Well...that’s what fellow FTE members used to be for. I’m certainly willing to lend a hand. Emily might require some arcade time in exchange for my time, lol.

Arcade still really isn't setup, but I'm hoping to start getting to it soon. I do have 3 working pinball machines in the house though

As long as you don't need defrost I can hook you up. The "spare" window has one or both of the tabs broken off.

Sounds good. I just got home from a trip last night but am home through the weekend at this point. After that I'm usually just working from home so it rarely matters.
