Oh boy! Mike doesn't resort to buying the right tool until all the wrong ones don't work.

[777mechanic]

tonight i cut the old hinge off the windshield and hope to weld everything tomorrow ,

[777mechanic]

today was a tough day consisted of drill in self tapping screws then weld then grind and start that all over again . hope tomorrow goes better holding the spot welder up was a lot harder than i thought .

[777mechanic]

Gettin close to the 1,000 goal.

Check your left pocket, check your right pocket, dig deep and contribute if you can

[777mechanic]

well phils truck is ready for media blasting , finished welding last weekend but too busy to post , went through one spot welder burned it up and a 2.5lb spool of mig wire . also found a 98 harness for the motor and trans just need to pick it up .
bronco hut gave phil a great discount of some parts , thanks mellisa
the door hinges are a new brand that the bronco hut is selling and there made very well

[Justin]

Where are the rockers from? The fit is way better than the one I have.

[777mechanic]

i bought oem's from bronco hut and they fit great .

[Justin]

Thanks, I may need to check those out.

[casadejohnson]

Thanks, I may need to check those out.

Your going full width and 4 link but going with factory rockers? I thought you were going with a 2x6 rock ski or something along that line.

[Justin]

My original rockers was a badly made replacement. I swapped it out when I repaired some crash damage prior to my owning it to properly align the door seam. It'll get cut for rocker protection, but I want the parts that will stay repaired properly first.

Just an FYI, there are still thousands of dollars needed before this project is complete. All of us benefited from Phil's knowledge, expertise and most of all generosity. All of us need to reach deep down in to our pockets and give a healthy donation. Show Phil the same respect he has shown us.

[Rox Crusher]

Here's the link to the donation site again.

https://fundly.com/project-viperwolf1

It's up to 1,320 as of now.

I wonder how quickly we can double it ?

Does anyone know if there is an option to donate via paypal? I looked but didn't see it

[Gunnibronco]

I wanted to ask permission to post this up on the CCB Facebook site. I think it could add exposure & help get this truck built, but I know everyone isn't wild about social media.

[Moab Mike]

Jeremy, you may have a good alternative to paying, I'll see if I can get something going with it.

Chad, I say go for it. There are a lot of people of Facebook that I think would contribute.

[Rox Crusher]

Chad, I see your point about putting it in the public domain, and I think that Viperwolf should weigh in with his viewpoint on that.

I like the idea but I think the folks most likely to contribute are on CCB and CB.com.

If we want to appeal to more people that he has helped in the past, but that aren't currently active on the site, maybe a mass email to all CCB members with a link to this thread would do the trick.

Phil has always lent everyone a hand without any expectation of anything in return. Having benefited from his generosity greatly myself made contributing a no-brainer for me. But more than that, I continue to be amazed at how giving and generous with his time and knowledge he has been to everyone.

If you haven't seen the CB.com thread here is the link. You can see that many others have made contributions, including a certain local EFI Guru. Thank you EFI Guy !

http://classicbroncos.com/forums/showth ... p?t=245909

And there are a lot of things being discussed in the background that will be amazing contributions. So thanks to all those who are involved, especially 777Mechanic who is spearheading this thing.

I have faith that Bronco Karma will kick in and people will overwhelm the project with a "pay it forward" contribution.

Wait.........how the hell did I get up on this soap box ?



Thanks everyone for whatever you can do to contribute !

[Justin]

Phil, I'm great with sending a mass email if you're good with it.

[hockeydad4-22]

Donated!

And more than willing to help all I can with parts and labor whatever I can do.

[casadejohnson]

Jeremy, you may have a good alternative to paying, I'll see if I can get something going with it.

Its not a huge problem if we can't do paypal, It would just be easier for me because that is where I keep my slush fund for all things Bronco.

Also, I assume that this is on CB.com as well? I think we all know that Phil has helped hundreds of people over there and many of them would likely be willing to contribute to the cause. if there is a link to a thread on CB, please post it up. I have not been on much over there as of late.

[Moab Mike]

Today was a good day, pulled a 1998 Explorer harness complete with the transmission harness and computer. Rounded up a 1976 bronco steering column and collapsible steering shaft, both in excellent condition. Also rounded up a clean passenger door and dash with a Ranger glove box door.

If anyone has a clean drivers door with all the hardware and trimmings, please let me know. Don't forget that donations are greatly appreciated! This is Phil's dream Bronco, help him realize his dream!!!

[Kinder]

Great work gents, damn this weekend job.

[EFI Guy]

Looking good! I wish I could have joined in the fun. I'm just a little too buried in harnesses to have any play time.

Speaking of...Can we get Phil's harness and PCM loaded on a parts train to the Platte River meet? I plan on being there.

I can pick it up if 777mechanic doesn't make it.

[casadejohnson]

Mike, I know we talked about it today but refresh my memory on exactly what Phil is wanting with the 5.8 roller Block. Was it just the block, connecting rods and crank or was there more than that? As I said, I will give you the one I have if that is easiest but another option would be just acquiring another complete short block which I can probably gather in short order. If I'm up to date on what is needed, phil already has the intake. How about heads? Is he going aftermarket or do we need to be on the hunt for some GT40's? I'm going to guess an explorer front dress is also in the plans, do we have the parts for that yet?
