that sucks about the rain. i got a good bit done on the cockpit of the race bronco. Clay came over and took some measurements on his rig to start figuring a cage out for it.

well installed hoses and finally got a belt that fit.. i guess the guys at autozone can read after all..lmao now i found a leak. high pressure hose has a pinhole in it. so should have new one tomorrow to try again to get system bled out.
If you can't fix it with a hammer and a welder then your gonna need a new one!

Cool deal. I can't imagine driving an EB w/out PS.

I plumbed the brake lines today, put the exh manifolds on, bolted the entire rear suspension together for good!
