The Buildup
Welcome to the buildup Page. Special thanks go out to Mike, Both Matt's, and most of all: my family (for their help and putting up with it).
Before:

    Picking It Up!                                         Stoked!                          After Used Rims & Hard Top

                                      302 Block, 289 heads, highrise              Basic duff 3 1/2 lift

The Incident:

This is the result of someone turning in front of you during the rain. I locked up all 4 wheels and slid into the guy. Everyone was OK. I must say, however, that the bronco won.
Tear Down:
I could have just replaced the effected body pannels but chose to do as close to a frame up restoration as possible.
