Spent 5 1/2 hours trying to remove the huge bumper the PO welded to my 67's frame. Not sure what still holding it on, but it doesn't appear I made a dent in it. Ugh!

removed my last bumper with an acetylene torch Chief.

Disconnected the horn at the steering wheel, which I think will correct my electrical issues.

Also, tightened up the output yoke on the t-case.

Going to pick up pizza, so we'll see if the vibrations and gremlins are gone.

worked on one that was brought to me running like crap. It was a 351 with a 302 cam. Changed the firing order and it runs great now.

Pulled the motor today preparing for the new EFI HO motor. Discovered the old motor had two different heads. The spark plugs on one side were the bigger style. I'm pretty sure this motor came out of a truck but I haven't looked at the casting numbers yet.

Took all the bolts out of the half cab top today. First time they have been removed in 39 years... took a little doing.. like 2 plus hours. Now to try and remove the top tomorrow. Tried pushing up on it and nothing moved...

Pulled the doors back off and started to prep for paint. All glass body so the body work begins! Also did final fit on new hood from BroncoDesign. Love the hood but as with all glass parts it requires some tweaking to fit up with all the other glass parts.

Cleaned 40 years of gung off the D20 I'm going to rebuild to put behind the 4R70W swap.

I poured gas on mine and set it on fire out of frustration.........................just kidding. We drove it to a local car show yesterday and when I went to back it into the slot, reverse didn't work on my C-4. This was a resto for my daughter and we were the only Bronco at the show. It was cold without the top on it.

Fabracated and installed a temporary cover over the hack job%) of an aftermarket radio install by a previous owner. I brushed up a piece of stainless I had laying around.

Cut off the 200+ pound front bumper the PO welded to the frame. Still have some work to do to get the weld cut out, but at least I got the weight off the frame. Changed the oil and spark plugs and attempted to start it. No love! Wiring is shot.
