The thread is called "the Burb" on & they just posted a small update. They are supposedly going to try & get more pics, as it's progressing.

That's my buddy Wayne's Bronco, I think it is a 67. Built a new engine cage with 3.0 bypasses and new coilovers, mounting a wider axle, new cbr radiator full tube core support etc... Here are a couple old pics
