Buildup Pics Update (New Pics 4/9/07)

[MikeEB]

;D Well, we've finally being getting some good weather and I found the motivation to put in a little work now that it's not 20 in the garage. I got the front assembled and in place, and the hood hooked up with new hinges. (used to be hood pins at each corner and no hinges, thanks PO %) ) All the pics are posted at the link in my sig. I'm getting really close and ought to have things completed here in the next couple months (WOOHOO to tax season!).

Looks like Frankenstein at the moment, but it'll be a burnt orange accented with black and possibly some charcoarl grey (thinking for the top).

Here's what's left
Remaining body pieces (door, tailgate, shims)
Prime, Paint, Line-x
Driveshaft
Misc wiring
Cage
Exhaust
Fuel Cell
Plumb the hydroboost
Fill her up with fluid
And recheck every nut and bolt, cause I know I missed a couple. LOL ;D

how big of a suspension and body lift do u have? Give us some specs.

 

[MikeEB]

5.5 sus 2"BL, but I am way to high at the moment, so I am going to swap out to 3.5 and 2"Bl when I get the chance and stay on 37's. Running FW HP 44/9 (currie center) w/ 4.88's and ARBs, stretched out to 97. That's the basics, 351w TBI (I know, I know :-X ) C4 and D20, which will hopefully be a C6 and Stak by the end of the summer.

Yeah the different panels are from different stages. The dark orange was the original color and the salvaged pieces. The bright orange is when I was getting lazy and coontemplated rattle-can. . Now it's back to the original plan of shooting it with a newer style burnt orange, so I get to redo a bit, but no biggie.

 

[MikeEB]

Paints DONE!! Woohoo! A little sooner than planned, but I had to move the Bronco outside for a while since I sold my house. Inside still has to get to Line-x, but the outside is done! Good ole Maaco. Changed plans at the last minute on color selection, but I'm very pleased with how it came out. I have to decide whether it will be accented with black or silver, but that can wait.

 

[Tito]

That is gorgeous!

 

[Flash69]

Very nice. I thought it looked cool before you painted.

 

[Baja71]

I have to decide whether it will be accented with black or silver, but that can wait.

I vote for black AND silver.

 

[Imagator]

That looks Bad AZZZZ! Where did you get the hood?

It came with the truck. It's the high country hood out of Wild Horses though. They just relaunched them not to long ago and I think they've improved the bracing on the new version.

My vote would be silver!
Looks great.

 

[Salgood]

[mountain14er]
