    I do, too. Although it makes a huge mess of the shop; I spent an hour cleaning up grinding dust and putting away tools yesterday. I really hope to have this back on the road in a few months and maybe even get it all one color over the winter. It may be primer rather than paint but we'll see how it goes.

    Really? You think it'll come together this quickly? I'm hopeful for you, it'll be nice to see it all come together and be ready for cruisin' next season. This project is something that I had considered for my own coupe but figured it'll be easier and faster to do the SBF. But if yours comes out painless and with good results, I just may copy your recipe!

    Feel free to use what you like. It's coming together really quick so Im hoping to back on the road before the end of the year if not sooner. I decided to keep the floor mounted pedals so that will shave off some time. The motor doesnt need rebuilt so it'll just get gaskets, a timing belt, and a fresh coat of paint. The biggest deal for me is wiring it and getting it to run right. The only fuel injected project I ever built was my son's 69 Chevy truck with a TBI. This is way more complicated than that one. I'd like to try the Megasquirt controller but I also have the factory wiring harnes, ECM, and the Ford wiring manuals so I may still lean that way. It's definitely a learning experience for me.

    Thanks, Dave! I still want to see you do something with that little Bronco II; that things got all kinds of potential.
