im not making any jokes or comments i fight with thw work computer constantly only want to help someone who helped me Brian, Remember that you have the ultimate control over that computer.

Alan, This is how far the hood opens on the first part. http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u254/stonezones63/63%20F100%20Pics/63F100332.jpg Paul, I hope that I don't ever encounter that real world testing. :lol: I believe that if the hood release came open and the safety didn't catch it that the hoo...

I finally ordered a set and they arrived this week. Now I can go out and make the new chain guard for my Grandson's bicycle. Kind of an expensive way to make a chain guard but he is worth it. :lol: https://www.tinmantech.com/html/lancaster_shrinker_stretcher.php This is what I bought. I decided to g...

Those are nice. Im guessing they solve the flying hood problem? These kits will stop the hood from coming up and smacking the windshield. If the hood latch releases, it will still come up but I am not sure exactly what it will do. I really don't want to release the hood on my truck just to find out...

If you have any questions. let me know.
Send me a pic when you are done.

I am building a website for these hood kits. I would like some pics of the hood kits installed on the trucks. If anybody would like their truck in my gallery, I would like to post them there. Please send me an email so I can download the pic. I will not post your name, possibly the state where you a...

I had the exact opposite problem with mine. The sides were out further and the center was down. I used a ratchet strap wrapped around the hood and pulled the sides in and that brought the center of the hood up to where it was supposed to be. So I think that your idea of the port-a-power will work. K...

Doc, If you have a Vern Lewis Welding Supply in Tucson, they don't charge extra for outdated bottles. At least at the store by me, they told me that.

I used the insulating foam that you can get at Home Depot for weather stripping seals. I believe that this was a 3/4" square foam. I glued it on to the fender with the 3M black weatherstrip adhesive. So far it has worked out really well. http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u254/stonezones63/63%2...

I can envision that bus on a late model Ford chassis with a 7.3 diesel and an big door on the back to put the Harley's inside.

James had suggested these to me.

This one is a little more expensive but it is made in the USA but I will have to change the jaws to use the shrinker or stretcher.

Any thoughts on this one.

Kevin

Looking good. I like the latch system that you built.
You are getting really busy on this truck.
Are you going to leave the hinges the way that they are. I plan to change Nick's to where they are blended in with the body. I have some ideas on that but I don't have it completely figured out yet.

Does anybody have any experience with the Eastwood or Woodward Fab shrinker stretcher? http://www.eastwood.com/shrinker-stretcher-combo-set-two-bodiestwo-jaws.html http://www.woodwardfab.com/product/wfss10-2/ I am looking to get a set and I am not sure which one. The Eastwood doesn't have to change ...

That makes the deal on the truck even better.

from Phoenix.
You will find a lot of good information here.
Nice looking Bronco

The work trailer is finished so it won't be long and I will have Nick's truck back in the garage and back to work on it.

It didn't turn out bad at all for a tile setter building it.

I am having trouble getting my tailgate installed in my 65 short box with a roll pan like yours. Is there a trick to installing it? Some roll pans are closer to the tailgate than others. I made sure that mine was up that close because I didn't want to see much of a gap. Mine was within about 1/2&qu...

I used a Camaro front clip but I didn't use the stock column. I used a Borgeson u-joint at the column and a Borgeson joint at the steering box.
