Progress is so slow......

Drivelines show up tomorrow and I should have it running again after the intake change. Few small things to finish up and then it's time for exhaust.

The first time I started it I had a coolant leak at the thermostat housing so I decided I need a new Weiand intake.

Started the trans tunnel cover. Have two bends to finish and then I'll use nutserts to secure it.

As soon as I can get the hydraulic clutch to bleed (pain in the ass), it's off to get the exhaust done.

Looks like you got your driveshaft issues figured out. Getting close,looks like a snow run isn't too far off.

Latest mods are finished. I've been driving it around the last few days and I'm so stoked with the 5 speed, the exhaust sound and the little amount of power I picked up in the process.

Thanks Mike! No baby yet. We have an appointment Sunday morning to induce if he doesn't arrive before. I have my old mufflers if you want them.

I'm ready for him ;D

You going to be bringing it to the meet up on the 7th? It's been a long time since I made a gathering and I was thinking I'd bring up the new (to me) 72 I snagged down in Klamath falls...would like to see yours!

Sounds like fun. Where is everyone meeting? I didn't see anything posted.

My apologies for the Hi-jack, but what club do you guys belong to? I live up in Sequim Wa. Not sure if mine will be ready in a week but I am looking for a club somewhat close to join.
By the way nice job on your LUBR. That's the way I'm headed. Thanks and back to your regularly scheduled thread.

I ended up seeing the invite on Northwest Vintage Bronco's FB page last night. I've been to one gathering last year and I would like to make this one. If all is well with the little one, I will be there.

Doghouse, it's Northwest Vintage Bronco's - I joined when first moved out here from TX but haven't been able to attend recently. Good group of folks!

I just picked up an UBER (soon to become LUBER) and am looking forward to meeting up with a bunch of like minded Bronco nuts out here again.

Jaromy, Sorry for the sideline from your awesome build thread - I look forward to meeting you and your new family (congrats on that!). We had my daughter out at Katemcy Rocks when she was 10 weeks old, she loves broncos as a result (now 6.5 yrs old!) and has a huge smile on her face driving around in the '72 we just picked up (pic attached).

Joe
