1971 Bronco project

[OrthmannJ]

Just got an update from the fellow who is doing all of the welding on the new body. He sent me a text with two photos and the words "jigsaw puzzle"

[Bullistik8v92]

Haha yeah they certainly are a puzzle.

I've never done a Bronco tub from a box, but I've done a couple Jeeps and a Camaro. New is nice, but it sure is a lot of work when you don't have the Big Three's assembly line to help!

[OrthmannJ]

Yup!

Progress

The dash came out of the green tub. So I'm glad that at least one thing from 1971 is going to be on there.

[OrthmannJ]

Transmission has arrived!

[Bullistik8v92]

Another piece of the puzzle! What are you using for a bellhousing on that?

[OrthmannJ]

Funny you mention that. We have been asking everyone and their brother what bellhousing we need to use. Turns out a standard Ford manual bellhousing will work.

[Bullistik8v92]

They will. Just wasn't sure if you were going for something fancy or a hi zoot clutch or something.

Sure will be a nice driving package.

Any Bronco progress?

[OrthmannJ]

Actually there has been quite a bit. I just haven't been posting it on here since it seems like it's just you, me, Kevin and the spammers.
But, what the heck, why not.
I have some photos on my desktop at work. I'll get them loaded up on here tomorrow, get everyone up to speed.
