I am interested in the controller if the swap doesn't happen. It would probably be best to email me asking price,etc as I'm not on here much anymore. Email is piercere71 at gmail.com Thanks.

I remember'd that it was built by an SVO engineer..which means everything on it+in the motor would make most of us drool;). I remember seeing it do a looong wheelie one time & I was hooked then;D.

Yeah..where's the rest of the pics;D? Just curious,are you incorporating cup holders & some kind of lock? I'm planning on doing my own also(when I get to that point) & would like to see your solution to those two things. Thanks,Pierr.

Same here! Merry X-Mas to all & hopefully next year will be better..in all ways;). Haven't been here in a while due to finishing up grad. school Dec. 9th & hopefully going back to work in February= some $$ to finish up my EB in 2012;D! Good luck and safe travels to all,Pierr.

I don't think there are any "replacements" or reproductions being made:cry:. After playing around with this stuff several times,I've found a few solutions..either CHROME it like Mars Chariot did on their red EB8-),re-anodize it..big $$$:o,powdercoat it,or strip the anodized finish off/buff...

How old are the tires?? I'd say that the shipping is what kills most of us:cry:.Do you ever get over near Anderson,or Elberton,GA by chance? If so..my interest in the tires goes up..a bunch;).Pierr

I like this upgrade! What donor vehicle(s) do we need to keep an eye out for & what all do I need to grab while getting it? Thanks! Pierr.

It stormed pretty good in GA today;). I'm sure he'll give us more pic's when the sun returns! pierr

I'll be the oddball:p. I can understand $1200 for one that has been completely restored(re-painted inside/out+ new seals & hardware). In most cases,there is NO way you're going to have a professional shop do it(correctly) for less;).When you figure in paying a shop for: removing old seam...

Trooper..welcome8-).This is the best EB forum by far,and my only regret is..that I waited so long to join%). Looks like You are starting off with a very clean EB & I hope you enjoy it! These guys are some of the best! If you have technical/mechanical issues or questions..I'll bet one of these...

Just my .02 here.First of all,Thanks for taking on an EB as most shops don't want to build 'em..since they're not familiar%). Since it sounds like the customer doesn't care if it's 302 or 351 now..I would utilize a 302 out of an Explorer.. 1996-2002. Comes w/GT-40P heads+intake & the most...

8-). Yeah..what are the odds of that happening just outta the wild blue? If memory serves me right,they live around Leesburg/Albany & soo far,I really LIKE his music;). Hopefully he "keeps it country" & sticks to his roots..so far so good. Maybe he'll join us at an event sometime.Pierr

I would much prefer that 518 cam (224/232 duration at .050) because it still offers a good bit of lift(~.550 in/ex),should still pull hard,and will idle much better than the others. You never mentioned what kind of idle quality you wanted,if you were running vacuum brakes/a.c. or not?:? I would...

It is nice to put 'em back to original..even if it's more $$, IMO. I had my '73 Explorer seats professionally recovered about 5 yrs ago, with as close to original patterns as I could find(Original Auto Interior fabric..iirc) and it cost around $650 to do both fronts + rear.It's a shame that...

I'm with broncnaz..sounds ''pretty big'' to me..actually too big for EB usage(unless primarily racing). I realize the motor is 427c.i & heads are AFR 185's(should be awesome;))but that cam will still have a pretty choppy idle & not start to pull(good) until above 3,000rpm(I see they've already...

When I really got to searching for an EB, I put out an all points bulletin for family,friends,acquaintances to be on the lookout for me..%). I can't tell ya'll how many EB's that turned out to be either '79 up Big Broncos or Bronco 2's :-X I was sent to "check out"..Thank goodness gas was...

8-)Red on Red '74 Explorer..(only yr offered,I think) & one of my favorite color combos on an EB. Looks like you started off with a really solid,unmolested foundation..which "should" make the resto go faster. If it were mine, I'd go back with the original color combo, lift it..(2 inches),sitting...

Wow8-). Very nice! I didn't think I was going to like the floors + wheelwells being white..but must admit that after it's all back together..I like it;). Thank you for preserving a piece of FORD history & not cutting it up/modifying it!Only thing I would've done differently.. is to go ahead &...

x2. Definitely would add sentimental value + motivation,IMO. My dad remembers the original owner of my '73 Explorer driving around,picking people up & taking them to work,etc in early 1973 after a huge snowstorm(around two feet of snow:o) here in middle Georgia. He said it(& a few other EB's;))...

Congrats man & nice EB! I"m tuned in now & spotted it early on;).
