Still kicking

Needed to post just to let everyone know I'm still alive. Took (more than) a few weeks off, and then work got busy, but enough with that. Progress - pretty much finished the driver's door and tailgate, and some heated seat switches in the ash tray for good measure. Also, stupid Dynacorn front fenders are finally fitting better after drilling out and relocating some spot welds.

Finally got around to also installing some real 2.5 in lift springs from WH instead of running lift blocks. And replaced the TPB shocks with Bilstein 5100s. Much better. A word to the wise, though. If you have an anti-wrap bar, wait to reinstall it after a spring swap. I didn't wait, and the bar didn't allow one spring to settle. Freaked when I came out in the morning and had Bronco lean for the first time. Took the anti-wrap bar off and everything seems to be resolving itself.

Working horn ...

I present to you ... a working '73 horn on a '76 column. Next week ... a unicorn's head on a chupacabra's body.
