Tater Bronco

[fbronco86]

i was thinking about it while in class and the first step is gonna be to make more room in the shop... this is something that i always have to do at each new location(this being #3 for this rebuild) next is going to be find hardware to bolt tub on, patch leak in gas tank, cut hole in tub for gas tank, then finally bolt the body down. one of my biggest concerns is that i STILL need a ford np203... i have been looking(not so activly) for over a year and have comeup with nada. another thing i should go ahead and do is send off my steering box to get drilled and tapped for hydro assist(i won a stage ii setup at tcc so this is a freebee)lots of stuff left but atleast i have all the time in the world. one of my missions this year is to get rid of ALL of the crap in my shop that i dont need and wont be going on the bronco... it all has to be gone before i move to san antonio in the summer

I have a ford np203 haha

I fixed the leaky gas tank with some jb weld puddy... good crap i would have to say... and i made some more room in the shop by throwing away a bunch of crap... if i keep that up i will have enough room to work before long
