Bronco work weekend, Mississippi April 7th & 8th

[huntersmky]

That's worth a lot sometimes, bring it on.

Would you mind pm'ing me your name and number.

 

[huntersmky]

I think I know where your shop is. There was an old bronco sitting out front for sale for awhile

 

[JWMcCrary]

There is an uncut tub sitting out front. There has never been one sitting out there for sale. Shop is right next to an old AT&T microwave tower, Denbury bought it and does some of their local operations from there. My shop is an old pole building my dad built about 1970, has sign across front that says McCrary's Body and Auto Repair, although very faded. When it's gets close I wll make sure anybody that wants to knows how to find it.

Do me a favor and shoot me a PM and remind me a few days before that weekend and we'll be there. Is there a prize for traveling the furthest to get there;D

Wait. Nyles is going to be there? You sure he knows theres no drinking?

JW better put up some kinda sign or something, lol..

 

[NYLES]

NO DRINKIN? What yall talkin bout by the time I get there Ill be all jacked up on MT DEW!

 

[NYLES]

JW wish you were closer, i know what you mean about the welded on bumpers i haven't tackled that yet

Bumpers will be easy, we gonna do what I shoulda done to mine. Bob the frame and silde in a piece of my 2x4x3/16" square tubin weld that and you pretty much have new frame ends. Ill bring a piece if you think it will work. Other option is find another trashed frame that the ends are good on cut and transplant to your frame.

 

[NYLES]

[NYLES]

My flight doesn't get in until 6pm on the 6th. Bradlee is off on Friday though, there are a few things that could be done, like get that 72 out of there out of the way. My plan was to get up there Friday night and get all the tools put where they belong and clean up, it looks like hell in there right now, stuff scattered everywhere, need to change a few light bulbs, probably knock mud dobbers off a few things. Bradlee said he had to push my green one back in there the last time he cranked it to drive it around a little, was idling out in the front and died, wouldn't turnover. I need to see what's up with that, my guess is the battery shutoff is stuck again. I told him to leave alone until I got home.

The only thing I don't have yet is the axles for the rear, but should have them by April. Also need a floor shifter for C4 and drive shafts but that can wait, don't know what to do on driveshafts until we can measure.

 

[JWMcCrary]

I had no idea until today this is Easter weekend, certainly didn't do that on purpose.

 

[Bronco717274]

I didn't either but will check with wife should be OK thou. Who is going to hide the eggs.

 

[stout22]

Wish I was closer this sounds like a fun weekend.

 

[NYLES]

JW, your power switch by the rad turns with no resistance looks like its broke lose from the mount. He said your smokin at back drivers side of motor and front pass side...Im bettin it sat long enough for RP to seep through your valve cover gaskets.....n we cant find nothin in that shop!

save you from any surprises!

 

[YellowBronc]

To bad you're so far away. It's about time that second Bronco gets to going. Sounds like you guys have things handled........you have Nyles.

 

[JWMcCrary]

I am anxious to get to work.

They got these home this weekend (Thanks Broncotime)
I hope those RCV axles are as good as everybody says they are.
