Got another good day of work on the Bronco today. George (Mill Knob) also came down to check things out and pick up a core support for his project - thanks again George :beer:
We got the front tubed support 90% done. All we lack is welding on the front two body mounts, but can't do that since our mock-up rig is stock body height and mine is 2" BL. We do have the pieces cut and ready to weld on once we get the front-end back to my house. The tube connects to the firewall with 4 bolts on each side - this way the entire front clip will come off for access to work on the motor if need be. We welded 3/16" tabs and tapped them 5/16 so that the stock fender bolts will hold the fenders to the tube.
Got a little bondo work done on the front fender / grill line that we are "shaving". Still lacks sanding and I'm sure another finish coat, but I like the shaved look.
Here are some pictures :xyxthumbs:
