My Bronco rebirth

Too much time had gone by and my Bronco started showing some wear. (just a little) So under the knife it goes. I've pulled the body off. The entire front clip was torn off the tub with the exception of a 1" weld and 5 fender bolts. The two front mounts were doing OK, but most of the weight was on the radiator. I pulled down an explorer for the engine and transmission but I was HELL BENT on keeping the PTO winch. Last week I was victorious making it all clear. Next is mounting the PTO shafts, then install exhaust around the PTO lines. Then set the body. Then custom wire. Then fuel lines. Then tube front. Then make it all work.
Looks like I have to pull out a plan B for the NBR this year!

Imagine that, showing some wear! ;D Watching you have fun with it at one of the DML events, reminded me of the fun I had with mine at 17 yrs old! Keep up the fun!

Now in order to continue, I need the body on the frame to see where my clearances are. But I need the exhaust in, But before that I need to clear the PTO drivelines with the exhaust, but to do that I need to install new driveshafts coming off the PTO that's now on the 205. But that means hanging the winch on the frame but the U joints have been there for 40 some odd years and wont come free..... So I disassemble the leaky winch so I can straighten drivelines and pull the ujoints and get it into position but now I can't put it in to position until I finish rebuilding the WINCH!!!!! When does this end ?????????
