85bronco2man's bronco get some updates

[85bronco2man]

yeah so i figured i should just put some of dese up here i wanna see what you all think so far

 

[85bronco2man]

k so i tried to get my dad to bring his work x to the last meet but almost did but something about the city manager would not be too happy lol

so i got the hole cut out for the gas tank

lol could not resist ok stock gas tank hmmm no baffles sorry could'nt help it

the stupid window took almost an hour to remove and was the bigest pain

i know its a bit much buts but its the bottom skid tub for the gas tank i might cut strips out of it to lighten it up but will see , stil have to make a top cover for the tank so its not exposed in the cab area something my dad has requested that and so i can store stuff on it so i'll probly make some sort of box that will bolt down with a lil rtv or something

did a lil flexing the other day and have over 100 miles since the carb rebuild and no problems

so this might have something to do with why all my electronics were fry'd lol
o and would'nt you know it i ran out of gas and wire today at the same time so i wipped out the arc welder i'll have to wait till friday when i get paid to get more gas and wire cause well you know 50 pound spool is about 60 bux and getting my bottle filled is about the same even with my discount so hmm o well

Someday it'll actually go up a hill longer than that ramp:

 

[85bronco2man]

lol yes it is fliped because i didn't have enought room between the seats and were the sending unit is so because my dad wants me to make a box that i can bolt down that will keep any fumes out of the cab area and so i'll just mount the filler next to the cage or tail gate ooops said too much lol yeah so the other day i decided to teach my girl how to weld lol so tonight i'll be wipping out the plasma cutter and teacher her how to use it and have her chop the top lol and yeah no kidding phil soon its about time lol

 

[85bronco2man]

so got some work done today hmm something is missing just cant figure out what ?:scratch:

\

so set the gas tank tub in but its not fully set in depth wise

then i set the tank in but again ints not dropped in the bottem all the way so imagine that lip on the tank flush with the floor

It looks like you created another inch or two of lift in the back when you chopped the top. BONUS

 

[85bronco2man]

Did you ever find one? I just got a deal on a 95 Explorer and I'm going to swap that drivetrain into my 88 BII. Therefore, I have a 2.8 fuel injected for you if you want it.
