Got it back from the paint shop yesterday, so reinstalling door handles, flares, wipers etc. Also putting some paint on the under carriage due to how crappy it looks against nice smooth paint.

Wednesday, I got the brake lights working.
Thursday, passed emissions test and got her registered with a brand new AZ historic vehicle plate! It's pertty!:D
Today, putting on bikini top. It's freakin' hot here in AZ in the sun!:eek:
Tomorrow, I'll think of something, probably give her a bath.

What I did to my Bronco today?

Well not much. I said hello to my Bronco as I removed the rain water from the Bikini top. Then I was thinking damn I need to clean the garage and put this truck inside.

Hmm...I cursed at mine for not starting. She's been sitting for a while and I needed to move "Bertha", but she refused. I think she's starting to feel neglected since I play with my F150, "Thor", more than her.

Adjusted, tightened and lubed everything and got it up on the trailer. Leaving for Team Trophy Challenge in 3 hours!

Installed front recovery points (AKA bumper protectors) on Frank's. Carpeted the kicks.

.

Cleaned mine out a little, removed the grille guard & prepped it for some remedial welding.

Figured out why she was making a high pitch noise every once in a while when I tried to fire her up - the starter was about to fall off! It was way loose! Re-wired the ARB compressor. I've some how managed to fry 2 relays. I've been utilizing 4-prong, 12V, 40A relays from the auto parts store. Did a systems check and all is fine... now. What gives?

Also did some minor fender trimming to keep the sheet metal above the bumpers. Hoping to do some wheeling either this weekend or the next - weather permitting. No more top (a side panel shattered last winter when it became brittle) or doors for that matter. She's a fair weather rider now! %)

Fired up the '73 this morning. Loaded up the kids and my 15X10 vintage slots that I just acquired. Dropped the kids off at school and headed to Ralphs Wheel Polishing out in the valley (250 mile round trip). As usual, received comments from bums on the street to hot chicks in the parking lot loving the EB.
Also spotted a '75 ranger clone on the way. Wish I had my camera. I BS'd with the owner for nearly an hour on his $50K restoration. It was worth every penny:cool:

Stereo

Bought a Stereo to fill the big hole in my dash. Went with the Sony boat/marine stereo with IPOD connector. Was 125.00 new, with free shipping.

SONY CDX-M50IP

Researching marine amps now - will probably go with some wake board speakers, too.

Gonna start stripping mine down today so I can get ready to paint it next week. It's already in primer so hopefully I can get it ready for paint in a week. I painted the half cab last week so thats all set.
