Project 69 Bronco

thanks for the offer guys, it's more a matter of availability than it is labor.  I actually found out recently my neighbor down the street who is into rock crawlers is now building a minitruck and is a licensed electrician who has offered to help on the items I'm not a fan of doing, like tying into the main panel while it's hot   Scott, if you want to check it out you're more than welcome to come up whenever just let me know 

SIck bro truely amazaing buildup never seen anything like this build!

Its kind of unnerving the first time but its really easy. i have touched one busbar accidentally in the panel a bunch of times and been hit with 120 volts. Its not nearly as bad as you think, just dont touch both busbars at the same time!   Id really like to see some updates on this truck. 

Sorry no updates other than to say I moved the frame to work on other cars. Soon though I'm going to start plumbing airlines this weekend and then bronco work begins

I got the power all hooked up. I've been hit with 120 a couple of times I was more concerned about managing to get hit with 220

do you have pictures of the neglected bronco covered in dust in the corner at least? lol

Well I haven't been posting pics for awhile because I didn't have a ton of time to work on it, and half the stuff wasn't exactly thrilling.  I cut the truck into about 12 differentpieces since everything was at different angles and widths and locations. I started getting the body onto the frame today, it still has a longways to go, need to cut and brace and shift the frame around but here is ateaser pic.  As mentioned it is barely on there right now, so don't payattention to the location of wheel in the wheelwell.
