I went by the body shop to drop off some more parts and this is where we are today.

It looks great. I am a little concerned about the height. I hope the springs settle some. I am seeing more wheel well than I wanted to. We still have more weight to put into it. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Ok this brings me to the next part. You all will have to wait 8 to 10 months for a update. I am going to Louisiana for work. As soon as I get back I jump on it.

So thanks again for looking and see you next summer.

Just read through this thread - that thing is awesome! I stole some photos of your exhaust system layout, really like how it was routed. Going to have mine done in 2 weeks. Keep us posted on the progress, even if we do have to wait 10 months!

Hi Tom, one more quick question - what size diameter pipe did you use for the exhaust? Same pre and post muffler?

Thanks!

Don't have too many withdrawals Tom while you're away and thinking about what's left to be done.. Gotta pay them bills though right..

Luv that Color....

I am still in awe of your rear bumper/hideaway swing out carrier design. Your tailpipe pic gives me the exact pic I was about to ask for.

Truck looks great--nice work.

I think 2 1/4" we talked about so many sizes. The Bronco is not here to take a look, sorry. Yes pre and post muffler are the same size.

Keep me posted.

No problem. If you go and make one send me pics, I would like to see it. Also if you go into production don't forget about me, the guy that designed it.

Thanks...

Xmany I'm sure. I've been working out a carrier design in cadd, base on your build. Your design idea is just what I was looking for to keep an original look. Looking forward to the finish of this one. That going to be great looking rig.

Nope still working in Louisiana. Things are ok, this has been a rough show. I should be home the second week of July.

When I left the Bronco is still in the body shop waiting for the dash and top to be painted.

Nick the body man was also going to take care of the glass and weather stripping.
Looks like I should make a phone call and check on it.

I will keep you all posted.

Thank you.
