95 Black Bronco
Re: 95 Black Bronco
After weeks of neglect, the Chonco finally got some love. Picked up some alcoas off of Brian (csdrums) got those mounted and the red lables turned to the inside. Bump stops are halfway mounted, hopefully can give her some more attention soon, was on vacation and have been busy with sidework after hours.

Re: 95 Black Bronco
Hi I'm a noob. So if this question is flame worthy, I apologize. With the cross bar, below the dash between the A-pillars, we're you able to retain the factory AC?C H O wrote:Got a bunch to tubes done today, got the cage all tacked up and slid it out the back to weld an paint. Still have to to do corner gussets and window v tubes. The cage is 2" and 1.75" fully tig welded, goes through the firewall in 4 spots, fully sealed, stock dash and stock headliner. My seats should be done in a week stoked to see it taking shape!
Re: 95 Black Bronco
No worries, good question. The engine cage ties into the dash tube in four spots, the only way to accomplish that is by ditching the molded ducting for the ac. I made a piece that rivets on to the ac unit and has four tubes to where you can tie in flexy pvc line to connect to round vintage air ducts. Besides that ac is fully functional. Hope that makes sense I'll try to dig up some pics.

Re: 95 Black Bronco
CHO- Thanks for the quick reply! If you have pics of that setup that would be awesome. Trying to figure out my cage design for my bronc. Btw, your build is really clean. I want to do something just like this for mine. What are the travel numbers your getting?
Rob- sarcasm and ball busting are more than appreciated.

Havent had much updates in a while, ive been out of town almost every weekend for the past couple months, had to finish up some side work, but now am able to focus alot more energy on the chonco. Still have alot of busy work to do, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Hoping to drive it in tbe next couple of weeks and have the rear done and the truck desert ready by halloween.

CHO, your work is amazing, really looking forward to seeing this wrapped up! Bray has been sending me pics of his build as well and that is coming out really nice.
Re: 95 Black Bronco
Thank you Tony! Very pleased with the way Bray's is coming along. Maybe he will post some pics once its all wrapped up
