That was the seat I got in a little bit of a hurry prep wise. I missed an area with the Naptha type solution that you use. I'll redo it when I get my hands on it.

Not sure if the above link will work or not, but, this is a brief video of the motor running taken about a month ago.

Link worked for me but the picture is sideways and at an odd perspective, but is sounds crazy.
Ok, here is the last to be painted. This is truly a flawless job. Sandblasted, small hole from something most likely mounted at one point repaired with metal (NO BONDO on this top at all), old drip rail seam sealer totally removed with new seam sealer added.
I'm picking the Bronco up this Saturday and bringing her home to hopefully finish up well before Super Cel.. Gonna get it there if it kills me!

Well, I got it to its new home in the Philly area last night, tucked it away in the garage ( wife was on the step stool to check for clearance--yikes! 1 inch,, at best.
This thing still is gonna need some work
Here's what still needs to happen, doors finished- having a slight fitment problem with the right door upper window frame and having enough room for seals, windows, all seals, gonna need to put on a new carb I believe, windshield wipers, hoses run from A/C unit to condensor etc.,front is awfully bouncy with the WH 3 1/2 coils and standard Duff shock (anyone want to help me id stronger valved Bill's that would firm it up a bit? Seems like I also get random noises from underneath. The power steering from the serp set up works but still seems to need alittle effort. I can't turn the wheels too awfully far at this point either. Need to connect speedo cable, fuel indicator, emergency brake cable is run to the back but needs to get hooked up. Gotta pick up some fuel doors too.
Don't get me wrong, not really bitchin', thing has truly an incredible paint job, exhaust is killer with the electric cut outs, dash is insane etc. etc. just still have so much more to do. Some I can handle some I can't. These things are never plug and play.....
Oh, the seats,,, well like I said in early earlier posts, tried the sem product to change the color- not holding up AT ALL. Gonna get the seats reskinned in probably like 2018 at this rate.
Bugs to work out, bugs to work

Your a trip! You know damn good and well I should have a sweet pair of your eyes tucked in there! I'm just about broke though
. Why don't ya' just PM me how you'll just treat me as a "charity case" and give that freebie you have really been wanting me to have. I promise I won't tell a soul...stop groveling Mike! it's so uncool
Ohhh woe is me, woe is me
Randy, yep first run in it around the block. Was warmed up nice just tooling around the subdivision, got on a fairly straight road got into the pedal steady on up to winding it up some then a loud bam kinda' noise like something broke- kinda; felt like when you break a driveshaft (but it wasn't)
