Pete, it's like I have been sucked into a financial vortex on this thing. If and when it gets registered and plates, it should be a very nice rig. I'll take some pics in 2017 when it get plates......:p

Installed my HID Projector lights into the grill

Ok, went over to Nick's (Delconick) shop a couple of weeks ago and finally got around to installing my HID projector lights into my grill along with the parking lights. Drank a few beers, met several of his customers and Nick did a sweet job of doing it all right.

I could hang with Nick at his shop all day long. Great guy, I'm excited for him as begins his plan to move his shop. He certainly has outgrown the one he is in now.

Oh, wifey continues to pitch a fit. What shoe doesn't know is it's one of the more expensive pieces of furniture in the house at this time;)

Man, I seem to have lost some ummph getting this rig to completion. It's fairly close. You guys ever just kinda' drift away some from your projects that you once just were balls to wall over? Don't get me wrong, still a very sweet rig that I hope to be proud of, and soon. But, need to get back on the motivation angle I guess.
Just lamenting............

Haven't touched my Bronco in 10 months. Been too busy and short on funds. It happens. Hopefully when tax time comes, I can get mine done.

Mike, life has a habit of getting in the way. Too much invested (money and time) to let it slip away now. Just a little every week and it will be ready to go by spring since I doubt this one will ever see snow.

As always your spot-on with your thoughts. Maybe I'll work on the windshield wipers today.....

Dave, no not cruising' in it. But, I did get my seats back from the guy that put them in leather, that SEM spray on stuff on the Audi A4 seats just didn't do the trick. I'll post up a few pics of them prior to putting them back in. One of the nicest mods I've done to it.
Electric, electric lumbar, AND heated... Overkill I know, but, what WTH...

Just saw this build thread now, Miker your build is kicking ass, keep up the great work!
I also have a Fiberglass tub, also mine is one of the 1st ones made 1996?.. (No tailgate) no body braces, yup.. Did your tub come with the braces on the body? Or did you have to purchase them and structure epoxy them on?
I'm in the process of making metal tailgate posts to a fiber tub work and later installing a tailgate.. Yes my fiberglass tub did not come with a tailgate too..

Hey, thanks for the KUDOS. But, you can probably see, that I was hot and heavy on the build for a long time. Things have really slowed down but I'm getting motivated to pick it back up. I'd really like to take it to Super Celebration in TN next year for the 50th.

Fortunately for me, the tub has the metal bracing all throughout the tub. Sometimes even in places that surprised me. Good luck with your project. Do you have a build thread going on it?
