Very creative, I like it. Did you paint it with an orange color?

I'm fixin to add a couple of bucking broncos on my rig. Haven't figured out where to put them yet.

Not orange...same high temp Ford red thats on my motor and door inserts and drum brake. It should really look good when I add the billet ring on the steering wheel.

Ok today's little project...let me hear from yall...


Painted and added sticker of bucking Bronco

click thumbnails for full size




Took gauge cluster out and polished ring (I stole this idea from Chuck) then painted out side ring.




This is a look at the whole dash.





Come on let me hear comments...don't worry I can take it.

I have set them up in the past too. The first one is tough but once you learn and understand what you are doing it is pretty easy. Just never do a half-as*ed job. Buy the torque wrench and the dial indicator and use them correctly and I promise it will all work out. Oh, the spanner wrench is good to have too.

I actually get quite a bit of satisfaction from knowing that I properly set up a diff considering they are notoriously unforgiving if the tolerances are not adhered to.
