Default Been a while

Havent been on in quite a while. Maybe a year or so. I started a new project last summer that pulled me away from the Mustang. I picked up an 83 Bronco for an offroad toy and turned it from this:


To this:



Turned this:


Into this:



I got the whole thing done over the course of 2-1/2 months. It was pretty hectic. I got real heavy into the offloading thing this past year, then into firearms.

Now that I got my fix of all those, it's back to the Mustang. I have about another month before I have to go back to work so I'm going to see how much I can get done.

I'll be around, if anyone cares.

Yeah definitely. Especially with my driving style offroad. I almost roller it trying to get unstuck off a tire obstacle.



Then I lost the engine and thus brakes when climbing a pretty steep hill. Twice.

Nice buy man. I had never dealt with the Ford 300 I6 before this. I am quite impressed.

Yeah I sold my 85 f150 with i6 and 4spd it was bullet proof for 1200$..i really shouldnt have sold it but i picked up a 1997 k1500 extended cab short bed for 300$ more than i sold the ford for. i could have actually gotten the truck for 1200$ but i was short 100$ and couldnt get to my savings account and the guy was drunk just wanted the money...but i had to wait till the next day cost me a little more but still worth it

these are the first 2 chevys ive ever owned i dont think i did too bad with just a little over 2k in for both of them
