    Bronco Build Round 2

    Working on this project has been alot nicer since I have a garage now. I have the floor pans replaced and welded up. It was a ton of work to put these guys in I am never doing that again. I need to put down some seam sealer and then coat of the rest of the cab with POR15 and it should be good to go.

    Next will be the wiring harness. I have a 4 wheel junky kit. It was about 1/3 cost of a painless kit.

    Plumb up the fuel lines from my old bronco and install my 24 gallon tank and she should be running again.

    My garage it beginning to look like karls. I need to clean up a bit.

    Also the door striker post is a sweet ground clamp.

    The sheet metal screws worked great to hold the pans flat while I spot welded them down. I was really surprised I had to give the welder half power to get a decent heat mark showing on the back side. I am using .023 wire so that might be some of it too.

    edit: I think it has something to do with all the stickers on the welder.

    I finished up sealing the floors with some 3M seam sealer. It better be worth it at 17 bucks a tube. This weekend I should be able to put down the rest of the POR15 on the floor and then start the wiring harness.

    Before when I lived in lufkin I had the FI running somewhat. I had problems getting enough voltage while cranking. So sometimes the truck would start and sometimes it would not. The oem wiring harness is pretty shady at best so I hope a new harness will solve this problem.

    I still need two 33x12.50x15's.

    I finished up the floors this weekend and started mocking up the new wiring harness. Hopefully this week I can figure out whats going under the dash.

    I am probably gonna bed line the bottom of the doors. I have another set of doors that are in better shape than those. I am gonna make some trail doors outta those.
