The Latest: Lots of Progress

[brutis72eb]

Well, Ive gotten alot of things done here lately so Ill update yall. I towed the frame over to work and assembled the drivetrain. Then I set the drivetrain on the rolling chassis and took it home! Then i loaded the body on the trailor and took it to the welder on Sunday. I think I tweaked the body a bit but its definantly fixable. I kept the doors and the tailgate on but there is still a gap that formed about a half inch but when I took it over to Wesleys he said he could fix it. But I leave for school on Wednesday so I wont be working on Brutis for a while but atleast its kind of at a stopping point. And also im kind of glad im taking a break because I was really getting stressed out about all the things that needed to get done. So, its good to get away and you dont wont to get burned out this close to the finish line;D! Ill leave you with some pics

Looking Good!

Keep us posted. When do you think you'll have the body on? I'll would be interested to know how you bodyman fixes the tweak. Shims? You're closer than me, I only get one day a week to lock myself in the garage. Looking good!

Yeah, I should have the whole project done by the end of Christmas Break and the body should be done at the welders by labor day. Then Ill take it to the sandblasters, who isnt even 3 minutes down the road. Then ill bring it home and do all the body prep like blocking out the body, you know all that fun stuff. I have to go back in the middle of January so that should give me just enough time to finish it, 5 weeks! Im not exactly sure how hes going to fix the tweak but when we lifted up the front clip it got smaller so.

That looks fantastic! Even though I attacked my project, I am jealous that you did a frame off and I didn't. NOw I have to wait until my baby to be comes along!

Congratulations & enjoy school!

That is looking GREAT. Good luck in school too. That way you can afford to buy all kinds of goddies for the awesome steed.

Thanks Guys! Im going to miss working on him but I think it will be a good break. I will probably get that fixed after I get everything done maybe next summer unless there is a major problem with leaving it and I have to address it now. Ill check in periodically on the forum and see how everyone is doing. I love this site, we are such a tight community and I want to see progress on EVERYONES bronco when I check back in, thats an ORDER!;D Ill see yall soon
