Ok here it begins. This Eddie B 1996 came to me via James "SuperSixAxis". It is a Salvage title Bronco so Sally is the name that stuck. The plan is for Sally to be a Cheap Date that gets used and abused.....
Swap meet deals and trades have gotten me some nice stuff that was going to be installed on the 1987 I have. The option for a cheap Mass air roller 351 truck that was decent looking and in reliable mechanical condition made the decision to go with Sally easy and saved me a bunch of work on the 1987 as well.
Sally is Non-op'd as of now and I will take my time installing all of the Autofab stuff I have and getting her ready for the cage.

Re: Bob's '96 aka "Sally"
Yes, I just scored a JD2 bender and dies,have access to a notcher, tig and chop saw. I just need to find a 1-3/4" 180 degree die and buy some DOM. I will use alot of the cues for the cage from how Tony(TCMGLX) and Tom(BajaF250) set up the cages in their respective rides. I have the benefit of great examples and I am in no rush since I have the 1987 up and running right now in a reliable form.

Tony, I am a fan of the tan tops. I love my Eddie Bauer colors.
