Hey, Paul I think that Ken has found someone else to do the welding so it shouldn't be that much of a problem anymore.

Good to see someone else building an EB! We'll have to get together. Lowe's has a pretty good bolt selection but I'm thinking you're looking for one in the 1" range?

Yeah 3/4" inch with fine thread. They have the nuts but no bolts. Prob have to goto grainger to find one. Got the rear back together today. Started running the brake lines...the ones that came with the brake kit are no way close to where I want them to be so's looks like I'm gonna have to bend my own to get them straight. Also got the camera back from best buy so I'll try and get some pics up soon... Mel's dismayed. Got the new 35" BFG's and rims on it and the bottom of the door comes up to my waist (and I'm 6'1") hehehe...she's gonna need a step ladder to get in it BTW Mel wasn't dismayed...she was pi$$ed |

A mini trampoline should help. Thats if she doesn't get that much of a running start.
Russ ;D ;D ;D ;D

Sorry I haven't updated the progress in a long while. I will try and get some pics up soon. The Bronco motor actually turned over today. I have gotten the inner fenders done for the front clip and I may have the motor running tomorrow. Taken longer to get going due to work and stuff...but it's coming along now and I hope to have her mobile shortly. Starting to look like a real truck again.
Actually had it running today. Engine fired right up and ran pretty smooth with no leaks. Can't say the same for the tranney, puked tranney fluid from a hole in one of the cooling lines, but no biggie. As soon as I finish the brakes lines up I may actually take it around the block for a spin ;D

Okay here's a teaser from today ;D  actually had it on the street...then right back in the garage...brakes are still spongy...and I think the timing isn't spot on yet...but it fires right and is actually mobile...as you can see there is still a bunch of finishing work to do...but it's mostly there now  |

Is that better Chris? You have to remember it's bigger than a Heep Rich...It was only 1/2 a can of worm dirt (it had been a long day lol) |

Lookin' pretty sweet. I take it this is a full ground-up build from parts... with a 'glass body, etc? That'll be one nice rig when she's all said and done.

Yeah it's a ground up build. If I had to do it over again I prob would not do a fiberglass body. I just want to get r done at this point so I can go back to working on my Jeep. |
