I actually got to work on my EB project today. All though it's not much it was nice just getting out there and tearing into in it. I removed the fenders, cut the front clip off and removed the PS box which I have to ship because I sold it to another member on here.

In one of the pictures the little man decide to help for a while with the pry bar. All he wanted to do was smash stuff with the pry bar. He got bored real quick and went back inside. He did ask if we could paint. I tried to explain that painting is a long ways off right now.

The next plan is to install the explorer motor wit the ZF and 205 case so I can build a cross member for the trans and case. Then I will work on the hydro boost and 4x4x2 box install with the 78 tilt column. As money permits I hope to start buying sheet metal soon but with being in school full time now my funds will be even more limited and still racing BMX doesn't help the funds out either.

Maybe tomorrow I can find the time to install the motor and trans.

love the pics of the little guy.....it's his Bronco afterall...............

 

[Bronco73]

My bot has on his little welding gloves. he has a little welding helmet and a little had held torch looking welder thing that makes all kinds of noise when you pull the trigger. I think I have pics some where of him welding on the bronco when I was home one day.

Good progress but why do you still have the hood on?

 

[Bronco73]

I was to lazy to close the garage door so the hood could be opened up more to get to the hood bolts.

Maybe I will pull the hood tomorrow if I have time. It has to come off before I drop the engine in it. I have a full day tomorrow with some other duties like home work and I have to meet the new BMX team sponsor at the track to do some data collecting with the Ripxx trainig device. Also have to collect data on the road bike as well so they can test the new software.

Went through the cooling system, flushed it out, installed a complete fan shroud, cleaned up underneath a little bit, need to get some more fluids to top everything off before the Rubicon!
