What have you done to your Bronco today?

[green61bug]

I'm reaching out to other shops in my area for the body restoration. The current shop is already 11 months overdue for taking on my project. I'm moving along nicely with the drive train. So the body work needs to begin.

That thing looks amazing. Are you restoring and painting the entire body?

Got the grille painted yesterday and installed today, also spent prolly 5 hours on getting twin stick cables ran and hooked up. View attachment 892293

Excellent color choice. One of my favorites.

Yes, the plan is a full repaint as factory. I struggle daily with leaving it as is. But my partner in crime insists on shiney new paint. After all if it wasn't for my wonderful wife. I would be this far.

Bit the bullet and now in the middle of adding power steering and power front disc brakes.

The upgrade is well worth it.

Installed 1.5* caster/camber shims in the knuckles to hopefully get more caster. Ordered new tires. Man they are expensive these days. When the tires come in off for install and alignment. Hopefully will remedy my death wobble.

Yesterday I hung my frame on a homemade rotisserie and today I took all of the measurements to make sure that the frame is straight and square before I paint it.

Dropped it off for a new set of tires. Man are they expensive these days!

Finally got my console bolted in with my amp mounted to the bottom. Installed a new drag link and removed the steering stabilizer. Drove fine with no death wobble for the two mile test drive to the gas station. Maybe I can leave it off. Steers better without it. Got exhaust tips installed. And finally got around to cutting some metal for my custom 3" body gap filler for the front. Then got sidetracked while I had the plasma torch going and spent the rest of the day cutting up scrap metal to repurpose on a long list of DIY builds. I watch way too much YouTube.

What size tire are you getting? I paid $1200 for five 33" mud terrains mounted and balanced. Yes they are real expensive these days.

Did it have Death Wobble before? Is that why the new tires?
Got quite the steep angle on the links still, it looks like from here at least. How high are you lifted?
Anything planned to get the angles down a bit?

No the 5.0 explorer motor in the light blue bronco. I still have to get it off the trailer and into the shop. Seriously thinking about just pulling the body off. it would make it easier to work on.

Just trying to figure out how to get all the cables out to the spots they belong. View attachment 892148

More on this center console please. I'm getting very close to that stage and am looking for ideas.
