:rockonWell over a couple days ago I got ahold of a digital camer and got to go wild with it! :rockon

Well, I still haven't uploaded all my pictures but I have gotten a good few up. Takes a while to name and organize about 300 pictures :doh0715::thumbup But anyhow.


First my Bronco as she is now:

Has the natural curse of the rust belt...

My F150 I am still undecided and unable to really do anything with right now:

Ever wonder how strongly those road signs (similar to the stop signs) are in the ground? Turns out those signs you see along the road are in there pretty damn good....did somethings stupid and ended up doing a 180 into the sign...this was after it was bent out. The sign put a crease all the way up the bed. The bottom of the rear beed was almost touching the inside of the bed...there is also a nice little bend in the wheel well.

She has a serious rust problem plus the non-working slave cylinder which now means she is parked in the weeds until further notice. And before you ask no, those are not my patch jobs...I never did any body work short of pulling out the bedside on it after the little wreck the sign had. :toothless I hate body work... Idea is to use it as a trail truck but as of right now, I am unsure as I have the possibility to get another bronco, but I don't know at this point and don't know which is the best platform...

After I get other pics of the other bronco up, then you'll see what I mean...

More to come...

My Cougar:

As she sits now, its most likely going to be fixed up as she isn't very pleasing to the eye. Motor is strong and tranny doesn't slip :toothless first real burn out....:twak I know, but its not like all of you have NEVER done it :rofl: The plan is to paint it and get rid of the awful top that has started growing something...ewww...and of course a new fender (no I didn't do that either. It was originaly bought to do a 5.0L swap into my Tbird when the 3.8 went south) I was told that the previous owners son had it parked in a parking lot and someone backed into it with a pickup, whatever, didn't care at the time. A good cleaning inside will make it look like new and a new set of valve cover gaskets and some cleaning will make it look good. Exhaust and a few other small touches and it will be good as new!


Other neat crap some of you may enjoy seeing:

THIS IS NOT MY STUFF BUT I do get toTINKER/MESS/DRIVE/HELP with or whatever with it!

First up a tore down John Deere MC crawler...mid 30s I was told. Fun to drive and my grandfather has had and been fixing it forever. He DOES use it for many things, its an antique but runs and drives well until its put back together it won't. Helped fix some things on it, right now it is in the process of getting a new clutch and a rebuilt motor.

My OTHER grandfathers pride and joy. He has labored on this Bus to motorhome conversion for around the area of 12-14 years. I wish I had pics of when he first got it. The front end was screwed up and it was full of junk. He did everything to this from a rebuilt motor to running wiring and pluming for everything. It is a fully functual motorhome and licensed for the road. Here is the link-->http://www.supermotors.net/vehicles/registry/18090/63398-2

Not going to over load with pics but it is a beautiful bus...he has many many other projects, but that is the best one.

Army truck:

Not a lot I can tell you, some of the people on the fourm can probably say a bunch. Got an entire drivetrain minus motor due to the fact its got a hole in the side of it (who had thunk its a chebby gasser in it :toothless). Its been sitting there a long long time, but the right person could do something with the parts. I will have to get more pics of it when I get the chance.

New bronco bumper maybe? :rofl:

i see you went with the reverse light setup like i showed ya on my truck...real convenient and easy place to put em eh? I bet youre lovin the light back there. Did your bumper also have holes already there or did you have to drill? I was wondering if the PO did it or it came like that on mine.

Yea, so far they have had it to Florida, The Grand Canyon, Tennesse, Maine and a few other places. Their next trip is planed to drive to Alaska and up in Canada for a few months...Problem is now with diesel getting as high as it is :cry IIRC he said it gets about 5-6 mpg which they also drag a 20ft (maybe 25ft) enclosed box trailer with a Dodge omni, golf cart and motorcycle...its something to see going down the road, Ill tell ya...and man does it camp nice, doesn't even feel like camping!

Yep, I like having that extra light back there! And there was holes drilled back there already which was saweet for me! I am begining to suspect that ford had those holes drilled in there for a reason. For what I don't know, but even my F150s bumper has the holes as well. Switch is just under/to the side of the steering column. May get an extra set to aim straight back so I can see Farther. Right now they are angled out to see stuff better in the mirror and the trailer when Im backing up.
