I will be knee high into my restoration by June. Thank God to the very good weather we are experiencing in Chicago, I was able to mock up my Bronco with some of the parts I have ordered this Winter (about $5000 in parts). I plan on installing my new rear bumper and main gas tank cover this weekend if the weather stays nice. So far, I have installed new shocks, coils, leaf springs, a Tuffy center console, door cylinders, ignition cylinder, front 1/4 inch bumper and quarter panel armor plating. How about you guys? Have we launched early due to the good weather or are we on hold for Summer....??????? What are your plans?

Well, since I have spent the last 7 summers in "restoration" mode, I plan on ending the restoration this summer. My hope is to be driving around, but I imagine that there will be quite a few bugs to work out before I can "really" start driving it.

I'm with Devin. Been 3 yrs off the road and been putting a lot of time into it with sloooooow progress. Hoping to be "driving" it in a month and have it fully ready for my wedding in July. This was my last year spending irresponsibly, now onto family life w/bronco as first child ;D

I got my 72 driveable so I can spend a bunch of summers on my 69. I hope for 3 years, but 7-10 will probably be closer....
