Well it has been awhile since I've posted any progress on my EB build, so here is what I've been doing for the past couple weeks.

Once the axles where removed, I had to clean up the frame since it had old undercoating on it as well as original mounts that would be getting cut off such as motor mounts, shock mounts and body bushings.

Wow, notice how the original shock mount provided a great place for mud and water to cause extreme damage....OUCH! Oh and yeah we found that body bushings are easier to work with once you fry them!;D

Now it was time to clean and examine the body.

I also got a couple parts repainted that go on the engine.

That is not all that I've done in the last couple weeks. I do lots of other misc. stuff like doing some R&R on a friends bronco that was left here after he moved away.

It's been parked on the edge of the woods for over a year and half....in fact it hasn't moved since it was hit by a hurricane back in Sept. '06.

A little inside detailing as well as fluid flushes and she is ready to go again.

Well, that is just a little of what I've been doing for the past couple weeks.

Quite a bit of work there. I remember having to repair the spots under my rear shock mounts. Nice work!
