Demanding audience! We still have a lot to do, including bolting the rocker guards back on to cover up the beat on rockers

Kind of, fenders and hood were replaced & Willem wanted the orange stripe removed. He actually wanted to change the color, but I wasnΓÇÖt willing to front the $, heΓÇÖs saving up.

They gave me ample time ....so we reshot the whole exterior, plus with a couple of changes....the whole thing needed shot

How do you start an engine w/out a trans bolted up so you can chase down the oil leak coming from the back of the motor? Well, you dig out an old bell housing that you just canΓÇÖt throw away and bolt up the flex plate and starter and turn the key. Happy to report it isnΓÇÖt the rear main seal, it was just the oil pan gasket failing again

Back on the road today for a quick around the block run. The clutch master barely slipped in between the all other junk bolted to the firewall and inner fender. WeΓÇÖve temporarily mounted the original shifter to the trans with a small adapter plate, he has plans for something better.
We have a few items to tidy up; clearance the x-member for the front driveshaft, swap hubs over to Warn, improve the new sheet metal for the trans tunnel, install the new twin sticks, etc.
Willem is one step closer to having the Bronco that he always wanted. Welcome to the 3 pedal world my boy!

WillemΓÇÖs stock Explorer PS pump was starting to fail & I never really like the Explorer reservoir either.
Upgraded to the Viper built PS pump & PSC res w/ 12AN sized supply line, because Justin canΓÇÖt be the only guy with a big hose, ha!

Good upgrade! I have 1 more of the brackets to attach the reservoir to the explorer bracket if youΓÇÖre interested.

Yes please, IΓÇÖll need to look at it closely as WillemΓÇÖs fiberglass hood has a large support that occupies the space for the factory location.
