Still have to do the passenger side door.

And now I am starting to remember why I dont do auto glass...

These things are a pain in the ass. But I will say this, I have 90 minutes invested and in the imortal words of Billy Cristal:

They look Marvoulous!!!

these r 2 pictures of it finally done well i am (with in the next 2 week) putting a dual one red and one yellow optima battary with dual tray behind the driver side so winch wireing will have to wait till then i suppose lol

Finished installing the up front floor pans and got them primered today. I hope to get the gas tank back in this weekend and get it out of the garage. Then maybe I can start the herculiner!! JP

Dropped off for paint and bedliner. My excitement is nearly uncontainable!

You don't happen to still have your hood prop rod? My hood fell & folded the rod into a pretzel shape while I was bouncing up and down on the bumper checking for bump steer. Scared me to death. Glad I didn't have my hand or a tool inside the hood, I'd be shopping for a new hand or hood.

I really don't want to spend the $ to buy shocks. I'd rather put the limited budget towards something else.

It is all yours and I am happy someone can use it. I have been shipping most parts due to fuel prices and the new Flat Rate USPS are awesome - they pick it up from your house! However, the hood rod is a little long to put in a box lol. Let me know what you wanna do - meet at a Breakfast With Broncos or something. I work in Lakewood off I-70 and happy to meet up any time. Feel free to shoot me a PM.

You may want to post the other items you are looking for in the Parts Wanted section - may help everyone out - get some things outta storage sheds and into Broncos

I test fit and modified the fiberglass interior panels from Jay. Only needed slight modification due to the multiple coats of Herculiner. They fit like a glove. A big Thanks to Jay for the great addition.

Test fit the Corbeau seat adjusters on the family cage seat mounts. Been puting this off for weeks but they fit perfectly and huge relief - not sure what i would do if they were even a 1/4" off. The seats are going to work out perfect. A big shout out to the designer and craftsmanship of the cage builder in Utah.

Thanks Chad.Glad they worked out .I'm currently working on some other interior pieces.Should have something to show soon.Can't wait to see your ride in person.JGZ

Meeting up with Dana from the Bronco Hut today to pickup a new washer resevoir and motor. Exciting stuff! ;)

Thanks, PM sent.

my front shaft is done, will get it picked up next week, then I can focus on my brakes, Been contemplating Booster options. I am liking the Hydrobooster setup but dont have the availability of salvage yards nearby. Maybe I could use a vac booster system for now and work on the hydro as time goes by. I think it is frankcastle that did the writeup on it?
Suggestions please?

Actually, Sbolt19 has a write up on here, sort of, of a hydro install. I'm still in perpetually in the middle of mine. But, depending on how much coin you want to drop, you can pick up nearly everything you need from Advanced or AutoZone.

I read some of the build on the hydro and like the idea. Those places ( advance or vatozone) dont exist up here, I can go with CQ or NAPA for sure.

Installed the new reservoir and motor and the jets work perfectly:). Had to fix a leak where the hose connects to the motor but that was it.

I did learn that you can't fill the tank up to the top as the lid is attached to it using a hole. Started pouring out until it dropped below that level.

Got the rear tank re-installed and 5 gallons of fuel and it runs great, although a little rich. The fuel gauge works to!!!! JP

replaced leaking rear axle seal

tightened up oil sending unit in an attempt to stop oil leak

Replaced the driver side ball joints. Next up is passenger side.

lol i did nothing, but because my wife is always trying to find her gifts n what not, ma and the kids used the tuffy glove box to hold her 2 gifts lol

Did the 'Alice' parking light upgrade with 1966 clear parking light lenses in my 1973 grill.

Completely stripped out the interior.....seats, carpet, seat belts, tunnel cover, etc. in prep for family cage. Coated the carpet with Dawn and power washed all the pieces.

Pulled the top off last night and hope to start herculining the interior today!!

Skip herculining the seats, that stuff sucks to sit on.

Got some great advice from Entourage Thanks for the hints, I have both front floor pans completed as of 1534 today and the underside where I placed new metal. I already had golf tees in place, but the xylene was a good idea, it came off my brushes pretty easy with warm soapy water and a little elbow grease, gloves are a must as this crap is messy (my garage floor looks like a roofing company went crazy with the tar). I will start the tunnel and bed tomorrow. This is a time consuming adventure. JP

Watched as it was loaded onto a flatbed and towed down the street and out of sight. On it's way to Greeley for family cage:)

dropped it off for some carb work (not my cup of tea)

Here are the pictures. I did put 3 coats down, I plan on not touching or stepping on it for a couple of weeks till it sets good. I will start on the pack. I used almost 1/2 a gallon, I did do the underside on the new metal. JP

Yesterday worked on my bumper/winch plate:


Today, hope to reassemble and install rear leaf packs if my lunch break is long enough...

Herculiner?

Yes on the herculiner. It is a real pain to on the bottom of the floor pans.
