1970 Raven Black Frame off Build

Too cool.. looks great, how does that sound?

I haven't heard it on my Bronco yet. Still need to do the wiring.

Milodon dipstick upgrade

Haven't even ran the Bronco yet and oil was leaking from the stock (slip-in) dipstick tube. So I dropped the pan and welded a nut and studs on the inside plate, cut a new gasket to fit the plate, and bolted it all back together. Side benefit the tube clears the headers a lot better now.

Hi Travis, nice work on both the rear seat and the oil pan. I am sure the young ones will enjoy the ride in that seat! I’ve got the same issue with oil drips in that location and might borrow your idea.

Thanks Chuck! Next step is: I am getting some help with my wiring (to make sure I dont screw it up) and then I need to have an exhaust made. Getting closer!

Exhaust Done... Polishing the body next

Exhaust done. 2 into 1, Flowmaster 50. 2.25" in, 3" out.

Started the process of polishing the OG paint. Cleaned and clay bar'd the body and then spent a few hours hand polishing with #7. (look at the before and after rags....the paint was clean!) Then I have to wait 24 hrs to let the oils soak in and wipe off to do it again.

Looking good, the white cage looks great IMO and she’s sure buffing up nice. I love this build!

Thanks Chuck! Waiting for a friend to help me finish up the wiring. And then its just finishing little odds and ends. Hopefully a few months and shes done (fingers crossed). You must be close as well?

Great build!

Shes Alive!

Finally... wiring done, engine broke in, and shes running. Just need the little things finished like carpet, put roll bar back in, get bikini top, etc.

The kids love it. The under seat sound bar is INCREDIBLE. It is really nice quality. Engine sounds so good with the new exhaust.

Had an issue with Tcase popping out of gear. Replaced detent spring and its fixed.

Paul its been about 5 years since I drove up to meet you and you helped me get all these parts together. I cant wait for you to see it in person. Thanks for all your help my friend!

Can't wait. That's too long!
(yeah, I should talk!%))

Now you're going to have to bring the whole family up the next time.
You know, to let the kids learn how to drive a Bronco on the Rubicon, before they take it to high-school!!!
