enjoyed going through this build, your bronco looks really great, love the color. Hopefully I will see this in person around town - HV is next door to Lewisville...BTW, what seats do you have in there?

Bob

Thanks Bob. We should definitely meet up when it's finished. I'm out in Flower Mound/Lantana area at least once a week, I'm sure we could get together. Your rig looks great.

Those seats are the custom Tom's seats, matching front and rear.

Went to pick up the rig last week. After the exhaust was put on (Flowmaster Delta 40, 2-into-1), John heard a ticking in the upper end of the motor. Pulled the valve cover and found a broken rocker arm. Went to the parts store and fixed that one, then discovered two more on the other side. All 3 were broken in the exact same place. Really looks like the engine builder torqued these down, when they shouldn't have been torqued, as it's a non-roller block. Luckily, all the parts were found still in the head so don't believe any damage was done to the motor. Ordered a new set from Summit Racing and will get those installed in the coming week, along with a couple other minor things to finish up. This thing looks great, can't wait to finally get it, drive it, and show it off!

It's Finished and Heading Home!

Picked up the rig today from John at JAK's Restoration in Conway. Couldn't be happier with how this thing turned out. Awesome transformation.
