Looks good so far! You should be good with time, if you've got that much done already!

I'm confused. Why isn't it stainless? ;-)

pulled two leaves from the leaf pack to try and balance out the suspension. if this doesnt work, then im gonna "spring" for a new set of wildhorses leaf packs... haha, pun intended...
Interesting point of fact- allen head (socket head) cap screws carry a yield rating higher than grade 8, as long as they are not made of stainless. learned this when trying to find a new locating pin due to the decreased spring pack thickness.
Also, i ordered some nifty little tabs from summit to mount my overhead speaker box, and windshield turnbuckles on. they should be in today. hopefully get the springs back under the bronco and the tabs welded on tonight. then i need to wire up my remote winch control, fix the connector for my rear fuel sending unit, swap on the halfcab, trim some fender away from the front tires, install my trick hidden radio antenna, and my CB.
just a few odds and ends before the meet n' greet, HA!

Removed the windshield and the hood, cut out the driver's side floor pan, removed the gas pedal and clutch/ brake assembly. Then sat in the shell and made vroom noises. But I couldn't steer because it removed the steering column too :-)
