[Moab Mike]

Congratulations! Long distance or local build?

[777mechanic]

today i went and bought new panels for the body .

[71 Broncman]

Looks like a good platform to build on. The bonus is it's already taken apart to save you time.

[Entourage]

That is exactly what I am looking for. Going to be nice build - keep the pics coming.

[EFI Guy]

Sweet!

[casadejohnson]

Add me to the list of builders. Its a bit difficult for me to get down there in the week but weekends I can do. What is needed for parts?

[Rox Crusher]

Mike,

Could you please post a list of items needed for this build.

I can only assume that considering all of the invaluable help ViperWolf has given so freely over the years, that people would be jumping at the chance to donate to this build.

Bronco Karma time !

[Moab Mike]

With that 4R70W, I know he will need gears so I will start looking for those.

What does the wiring look like ?

[777mechanic]

got new body panels , so day one went very well old body is very solid . all panels are fitted and need to be welded in hope to start that tomorrow

[777mechanic]

so yesterday i fitted inner fenders and tubs , ground metal to prep for weld through primer . also ran down to broncohut to get new rockers account of last owner dented both side so friday i'll be replacing them . the only part that mellisa didn't have was the driver seat pan . hopefully she'll have it next week .

[777mechanic]

so today was rocker day i cut fitted and primed and painted inside the new rocker on the right side , the left was removed and rust ground on inner panel but was to tired to fit and weld . going to start next weekend . i really need to borrow a spot welder if someone out there has one or i'll just buy one from harbor freight .


as for phil he is in Sacramento helping his father out who has cancer and working for his brother trucking repair business .

[Rox Crusher]

Are you going to work on it Sunday or Monday at all ?

If Angie gets home tomorrow afternoon i might be able to come help.

[777mechanic]

jeff i'm working this weekend and not sure about monday . need spotwelder to install rockers

[landshark]

$175 @ harbor freight, I am sure people would be more than happy to pitch in to borrow (or buy outright) after your done with it and help with the cost. I know i would.

I would love to help out as well, out of town at the moment - working on it next weekend?

[D&D72]

HOLEY SMOKES! is that Jeff Jacobs????

[casadejohnson]

Damn Mike! You work fast. When I did that work on mine it took me two weeks ! What about using panel adhesive instead of spot welding? I used it when I replaced my driver side quarters and rocker. Its supposed to be stronger than spot welding and it does a good job keeping the moisture out from between the two pieces of metal. The only down side is the special dual tube calking gun used to apply it. I was able to borrow one from the PPG shop when I bought the adhesive.

I am sorry, but I am just amazed at how quickly you are getting that body work done -- just awesome! I have had to do the front passenger floor -- probably the easiest piece of bodywork that I have to do -- and I have procrastinated far longer than it took you to get this work done. Very, very impressed.

[Dukietown]

It's funny that the work I've been trying to research and figure out for the last 2 years you just went ahead and knocked out in a couple weeks. Really impressive!
