Everything but welding and ring/pinion set up. My welds look horrible.
Yea.....Blu came off bad there.
I don't think he meant it that way.
This is one of the reasons Blu's retorts often remind me of my Dad, lol.
Dad was always having to say, "Well I didn't mean it that way"...lol
I figured the money I would have to pay some one else to fix it...would be better spent on buying the tools to fix, build, and fabricate my own stuff...
well one of these days grasshopper;DI am slowly learning stuff as required. As of now I can repair the hell out of one or two things.
I thought about putting this question on a forum poll, but the results on those poles don't always appear honest.
I've noticed something, as these vehicles have increased in value. There seem to be more owners farming out the work. Maybe it's just me, but there just seem to be a lot of owners on threads referring to the guy doing the work.
Now, I don't feel critical by saying that you need some basic mechanical knowledge and skill to drive one of these vehicles.
I understand that some owners have physical handicaps, but if you haven't the time, space or aptitude, what are you doing here?
I want to personally thank Kevin for everything that was done to Ginger before I got herI've never had a true project vehicle, so never had ongoing work required. As a union electrician, I have and could do most anything that needed repair, but why? ;D After a few years as a Journeyman, making good money, I would say, when you reach a certain age and income, I will never cut my own firewood or reroof my house again! I could add major mechanical repairs to that. There too many other fun things to be doing as long as I can afford to pay the mechanic, and hopefully that helps keep the world spinning the right direction.
"Why are you here?" seems like a strange question. I've been a fan of these since my first one of four in 1977. It's fun to check in here and see the folks progress and excitement with their Broncos whether they build or buy them.
Kudos to all who are building them and keeping the sport moving forward! Keep after the projects, so you can enjoy them!
