But are they ever really done?

After a good six years, finally got it done. Super thankful to one of my buddies who went through the transmission for me as it was not shifting into third gear and needed a valve body replacement.

Entered in the local car show and won class award and members choice!

Lots of people on this forum have helped me get this done, @DirtDonk particularly if I ever get a chance to meet you, the beers are on me, you’ve always been incredibly helpful and thankful for that.

Fantastic! Now I am officially jealous too. I wanted my 68 to have Ranger stripes. So I guess, one of these days when I grow up, I want to be just like you! :)
Thanks for making me feel a part of the project too.

Beautiful Bronco! Your wife reminds me of when my wife was daily driving my EB and was always getting a lot of attention.
Kudos!

Absolutely, couldn't have done it without the great support and products from WH!

Love the striping combinations on it….nice job!!! Checked out the Facebook site as well, lots of cool cars and trucks. (From 2023 though) Had to chuckle at the Ratrod Dodge PU with the twin turbos feeding a blower when I noticed the roller chain jackshaft throttle cable. Beautiful old courthouse too from what I could see! I like the country down there. Been through Waco on the East and down 281 on the west.

Congrats! You'll win most of the time at car shows. Please don't come to shows in north DFW though, or you'll deprive me of winning.
