My Wife flipped out on me today. Her mother past just before Xmas and most of her belonging are in the basement she went down to the basement to look for something and saw the Bronco In its stripped down shape and all Hell broke loose. She said it is a junk heap piece of **it and I will never be able to put it back together LOL or cry man she hates my Bronco

Hey Keith, send her a dozen roses and a card saying "you're sorry you upset her with the Bronco"!!!!;D;D;D

It's called "Winning thru Losing"!!!;D;D;D

My wife is immune to my addiction. She has tried to go to battle with me, but I've been doing this LONG before we met. She just rolls her eyes when the topic comes up anymore.

Speaking of rust, here's a pic of what I'm dealing with. That tub you got is a one in a million creampuff in my neck of the woods.

Good Job on the progress so far...Seems like you never have any (forward motion) when doing this part of the process. For me it was hard to restrain myself from taking my time- I was ready for the end result or 'finished product'. My brother would come over and ask why I would start at one panel and skip to another, he knew that I was gonna halfa$$ it. god I wish I had listened to him.

By the way, I like your avatar. The new tags are no longer going through the stamp process. So keep that one as long as you can.

Trying to get back on my bronco build I have not worked on the bronco in several months. I had hernia surgery July 3rd and he found 3 hernias and I have not been able to do much of anything requiring lifting or standing for very long. I have some pics of power windows with lift off door hinges I am adding with the original looking window cranks. Trying to do as cheep as possible with junkyard Taurus window motors fabed up to my stock regulators as other members have done.

More Pics of door cut for switch ,I tack welded 4 flange nuts about 3/8 " thick to the regulator to inset the switch so it would be flush for the door panel to work. The regulator also has to be opened up at the top and re-welded for the switches to fit . you can see the flange nuts in the last pic in the last post

Aw Keith, if you keep getting fancy on us, you may need to change your screen name to "Uptown"!!!! Great work, glad you're back up & at'em!!!;D;D;D

Nice job on the regulators

I have not posted up any pics progress has been slow. Mocking up the champion radiator and A/C coil. I found out the mounts did not fit

 

[DEEPWOODS]

Reinforced frame ends at front bumper for mounts.The bottom holes were ripped out looks like PO hooked pull chain next to them. Added BC bronco steering reinforcement

 

[DEEPWOODS]

Cut and re-welded the radiator mounts to make them fit ,don't look so good now. Going with 2 electric fans and the explorer dress front fan.

Power steps mock up. I called around and found the modified steps for 1500.00 to 1600.00 so I decided to do it myself. I got the steps on amazon for around 750.00 on sale. I am replacing my rockers because they are rusted and bent up So I will put a couple pieces steel plate in to thread into. You don't have to put any steel in they will mount up by notching the inner rocker panel for the slip in nuts at the top of the mounts just fine. some pics more to come later

Do you happen to know what the measurement is between the two upper bolt holes on your frame bumer mount. The front of my frame is all hacked up and I only have the rear oval hole, and the front one is missing. Trying to rebuild it and your set up looks really good. Thanks,

 

[DEEPWOODS]

Looks to be about 3 9/16" between them center to center see pic

 

[bk005]

I sure appreciate the help, now I can rebuild mine and get it blasted. THANKS!

My 408 Stroker engine has been sitting in the crate for about 2 years and I am not getting much done on the bronco so I decided to put it on the engine stand and start putting it together. I got a canton racing Bronco oil pan and pickup and like everything bronco related it does not fit. The pickup is hitting the bottom of the oil pan about a 1/4" before the pan flushes out with the block. So do I heat and bend the pickup pipe to fix this and how much clearance do you set this up for? See pics

Working on driver side rocker panels replacement. I bought so call OEM Quality rocker panel and it is formed wrong at the top. The ford rockers I removed have a nice 90 bend this one has a lot less .I had a 1/4" gap between the door bottom and the rocker with the ford now it is 1/2" I am going to try to push it up some with a bottle jack See pics
