migs Bronco Barn - a chronicle of what's happening at the new place

[tasker]

let me know when you need a hand please!

 

[Yeller]

That is going to be the most secure mounted tub with the cage attached I've ever seen!

 

[migs]

We can only hope so.....

Mounting the tub is coming soon, and one thing I wanted to finish up with before that happens is clean up and installation of the neutral safety switch and kick down lever. Here they are not looking too hot....


And what's under that wire cover??


That's no good. Here we are after a little fixin, cleaning and painting.


All installed and chassis ready to go slide under that tub.

And now underneath...the ball is ready to drop. Hmm, should I wait until next new years eve??

 

[migs]

Ok....so I didn't wait. It's down and bolted up tight! That'll make it easier to push around the shop.

 

[migs]

More... dropped the fenders on to double check fit and alignment.

[phred]

Nice work. Really enjoying this especially since Randy is paying for it. Lol.

 

[tasker]

funny if it wasn't so true!

 

[migs]

Moved it over to the body shop section


Decided that I would tie in the two inner seat belt mounting into that new crossmember underneath so I made up a couple of tabs and welded them to a longer plate that will span across to the two body mount bolts as well. This will help spread the load over the glass floor along with the benefit of the two extra bolts at the seat belt mounts.

 

[fatboy]

Can’t wait to see what Green he picked!

 

[migs]

And, since the lift was free, I did this again....



Even removed the headliner so I can store the top outside. Oh...it's not going back on again....... no, really, I mean it this time

 

[migs]

Finally got that black soft top I've been wanting, installed it last week..... and then we got a pretty big April snow storm

 

[tasker]

love it!! cannot wait to have my baby back! (ribs)

 

[tasker]

how's the new top fit? happy with it?

 

[Juiceman]

the wheels and new top definitely change the look!

 

[migs]

Just a quick update on that seatbelt/body mount piece, installed it along with a little more shimming and repositioning of the body. The holes the previous owner drilled weren’t exactly right, but it’s better now and the four bolts going through that crossmember underneath really helped fix a good amount of the bow that had taken a set in the floor there.
Now the main tub is fully on and bolted up tight, hopefully for the last time, working on the front clip now.
