Hello All
Quick introduction. I live in Shrewsbury, Pennsylvania. I became obsessed with Early Broncos 30 years ago. I had seen one sitting in my high school parking lot and that was all it took. Shortly after, I bought my 73 Ranger. Rusty floorboards and all, I loved it. As a kid I fixed what I could in my parents one car garage. She ran great. I was forced to sell her due to a job transfer. Solid uncut rear and I sold her for 3,500. Yeah, I want to punch myself for that one.
Since then life took over (marriage, house ...) the good part is that my wife loves Broncos as well. Nonetheless, I never lost the obsession over EBs. I joined this site back in 2008, however, I’ve always read instead of posting. I’ve checked out many projects on this site and a few others. I love the FAQ forum as there is so much knowledge from the most experienced Bronco builders. The community is full of great people with different visions of what a Bronco should be.
I still have a year or two to go until I buy another Bronco. I really just wanted to say hi to everyone. I have the utmost respect for you all and hope to one day join in a few meet ups. It’s a true joy to see the spirit of the Classic Bronco kept alive. Thank you.

Welcome aboard! Hope you find a nice Bronc in the near future (before they get any more unaffordable).

Ha. No kidding sanndmann3. Prices seem to have jumped 200% since my last buy. Didn’t see that coming.

Hello Mike, unlike you I jumped right in and have now posted a couple thousand times, 99% useless information %) and now am addicted...not only to EB's but the site as well. If I'm not on the live site I'm in the Archives after a Google search reveals that another member has had the exact same issue as me over the past 18 years. -jeff

Welcome Mike! I grew up just down the street from you in New Freedom, PA so I know your area very well! All the best with your future bronco acquisition.
