Yeah, but that goes to the general fund rather than oklahoma tornado specific relief. Still good but just saying.

Well some good new finally! Found a rental today, so me and the fam will be out of Hotel Hell by the weekend. I was even able to lock down a place with a 3-car garage, so once things settle a bit surgery begins. I've never done any real body work, so it might end up going to a pro. Like was said before, I might clean it up and drive it as is for a bit, then start replacing body panels after I've driven her for a while. Or maybe my impatience will get the best of me. Anyone have a set of front fenders they want to make a deal on? Could also use a rust free windshield frame, and some bushwacker flares.

I may have a good deal on a windshield frame with good glass. Although shipping may be ridiculous. Let me check what shipping would be and see if I can't help you out.

Found it.

http://www.samaritanspurse.org/our-ministry/donate-online/

One of the most awesome experiences of my life working with the people. This is just one team. There were dozens of teams from 42 states all over the city. Pretty unreal.


That is great news to share. I am always worried about the donations going to pad someone pocket. I donated to my Church which sent the money to a local Church in the area.

Leave them body pannels all dinged up, run the 4-5's with us at super lift then do the body.

That is incredibly kind of you. I know that the inserts have some holes in them. I planned to see what fiberglass repair would cost. I will have an opportunity this weekend to clean them up and see how damaged they are, and if repair is an option.

Hmmm.. you sound like almost too nice of a guy... ;D

Go ahead and take her offer and maybe you can donate those to someone with a trail rig that doesn't mind a little tornado rash...

That sounds like a plan. Anyone have a rig in Oxford White that would like a set of weathered inserts? Eventually I'll also have a weathered hood and a weathered set of front fenders to donate. Once a I find some replacements that is...

I really need to get the ride cleaned up. Once I get some stuff moved in this weekend, I'm gonna wash her down and get a real assessment of the damage. I know it's all screwed, I just need to find out "how" screwed. Any Okie brothers have a set of fenders or a glass hood for sale? I'm thinking I'm gonna need the hood before I do much driving. The hood is missing a nice chunk right at one of the pins.

Glad you and yours are safe.

On a lighter note, I guess this proves that the EB's aerodynamics prevent it from flying with 270 plus mile an hour wind.

Sorry I didn't get back sooner but we were at the All Ford show here in Pa. all weekend. Send us an address to mstandley@broncodesign.com and we can get a set out to you. Things are crazy here so it may be a few weeks until you see them. I will send you a tracking number when they ship. If your flares are in worse shape then the inserts we could send those instead, but if you had flexible flares they probably wont work for you since ours are old school. Let me know.....
