Sick Pony: 74' Sport Resto Mod for Trail and Street

[chuzie]

Smoking kills.

Stance looks great. You made it look easy.

Sleeves are for shirts. Replace the tube. DOM or 1/4 wall box would be sick since I assume it's gonna be trailered.

If you buy RCVs I'm gonna steal them.

I paid $10 for my vocabulary, not $5.

Get back to work. You have dovetailing to do.

bet its closer to 200#!!!

Btw u guys split it exactly. 170, precisely double the old wheel/tire combo.

[chuzie]

Your wheel/tire combo weighs more than me! Maybe you can mount a hoist for tire changes.

Holy sh!t you really did it. I thought you were blowin smoke up my a$$. Dude went and chopped it up.

You certainly get an "A" for effort and motivation! Great job.

How many inches will she be narrowed?

I actually work on my Bronco a LOT more than I post on the forum so it isn't driven nearly as much as most would think.

Oh i definitely meant it! Its narrowed 7 1/4" on each side. I measuredd for a hypothetical 8" movement, but the tab that spot welds the taillight housing to the rear most bed beam is a half inch wide so it made more sense to use that as the stoping point. it really lines up well with the cuts in the bed rail and it looks like closing those cuts up will not be as terrible as i feared they could be.

I am also planning to abandon the factory style lower bed sides. the more i look at it it's just inviting a cool tube "mid" cage structure that will provide a "slider" along the bed rail and mimic the fender flare that used to be there. Ill post pics as it happens.
