Nice, you should be happy. Yeah, deadfish maybe getting me a frame piece, i have to measure and give him a call.

Maybe we can hook-up later if you guys are up for it. I sent Pete my number a bit ago. I have some early noon errands but available later. He can call if you guys are up for it.

Well, haven't done much of anything Bronco related lately. Been pretty busy over the Holidays with work and family. Hope everyone had an enjoyable Christmas.

I did however sort some of my hardware and bag it up.
Figured it would at least help keep my thread somewhat alive.

Most of this will probably be replaced but figured it would a least help me ID them later.

My hardtop chrome trim.

Figured i would add a couple of general pics.
The rust free but dirty hardtop and premo lift gate that i picked up a couple months ago.

Finished Stripping the dash of it's parts today. The biggest PITA was the ignition switch.

Also a pic of the bent frame horn. Thought you'd all get a kick out of the old homebrew body lift. I think the PO must have played hockey.:D

I'm with you on that. I've never got one out without rendering it useless.

I actually think i got it out without damage. We'll see when it goes back in, whenever that is.

Yeah Pete, you got it. Probably one of the handiest kits i have to date.

Despite the cold garage i was able to get it up to about 48 deg. by about 6pm so i figured i would get my butt in gear and get some wrenching done.

Finished striping the firewall. Removed the steering column, shaft and wall bracket, accelerator pedal and linkage bracket.

Also started dismanteling some of the engine components. Got the radiator drained and removed, alternator and brackets, fan and pulley. Also pulled the rest of the under hood chassis wiring, regulator and starter solenoid out.
