Dandy day for a Hangin'

[Howard2x4x4]

Hangin' a body over a chassis and lettin' gravity slowly take over, that is! Man, that was FUN! Pics, and some more pics 'cause it DID happen!

Looks great! so far!

And here's where the hangin' comes in. Like Clint Eastood said, "Hang 'em High, gotta clear those donuts." Well, he might have said that if he had a Bronco instead of just a common horse.....

Whats up with the rear tail light openings? You doing something different than stock or is it a trick of the light?
Nice work.

Did he do something different? Man this is Howard from beautiful West Michigan. He's always got something different going on.

Hey Howard, I'll bet you were doing some clinching when you had that truck up in the air like that.

 

[NGABronco]

Great job Howard, but you should try it with a shop crane and a couple of neighbors!!!%)%)

 

[Howard2x4x4]

Thanks for the kudos guys! Gotta say, it was an exciting and pleasing day for me. Sometimes ya gotta go with watcha got! And, yes Ken, a significant pucker factor was involved!

The weather looks fabulous out man, I've been stuck inside all week working...next week is my final push to get the transferseat back in, final bleed job on the brakes and soft top on. I hope the weather is nice like your pics bud! Looks awesome hopefully she'll be doe by end of summer!

Wow Howard! Seems like just four years ago you got here. Well, it has actually, but seems like yesterday!
Did you start this project already a body-work expert? Or did your skill level morph up out of necessity with this build?

Whatever it is, keep it up because it still sounds like you're having fun.

Good luck with it all. Even though we're enjoying the process, still can't wait to see the finished product.

Paul and all, I'm havin' a ball! I can't believe it's been that long either! I have no special skill set at all other than enjoying working with my hands and those pesky voices in my head! This site is indispensable imho, huge THANK YOU Jon! And all you gurus and newbies, you've given me so much wise console and inspiration. Thank you all! In a silly way, I think of my Bronco as a community effort and I do truly appreciate being a part of the community

I was thinking I would see a bronco in a tree hanging from a Hickey winch....

Nice job.

 

[DirtDonk]

I wonder why nobody ever did that? Always just the early Blazer, but man, what a great ad that was!

Right up there with the Warn ad with the Jeep full-size on that rocky ledge.
