New T-shirts arrive WED, September 23rd!!!


small through XXXL is $15 each for pick up at the shop

I'm not sure why it takes till Thursday before there's a small enough break to update the blog... We have been focussing on Jake's 12V swap for most of the week. Chris cleaned the motor, painted it red, and did the Killer Dowl Pin mod. I POR15'd a bunch of motor brackets and SKY u-bolt plates, painted the oil pan, motor plate and engine bay, and swapped the grade 8 u-bolts on to the front axle. Ted cleaned up the 14 bolt FF and POR 15'ed the housing. We'll wait to swap that when we get it running (still have the detroit and brakes to do). He also worked on a peach of a 93 Ford Probe, as well as knocked out the body lift on Kenneth's 1977 EB.

Today we'll put the flywheel and clutch together on the 12V and mock it in to place. I want to start planning the engine truss because the TN diesel crossmember will not work with the ORD highsteer. On friday, I'd like to start working on the early Bronco family cage.
