I realize it’s not a rock crawler but I have a set of LED rock lights I am willing to donate to this project.
Let me know.

Re: 74 Baja Race Bronco - Baja or Bust
You might need to be working on it at night, so they could come in handy!
This rig is looking sexy!!!

Re: 74 Baja Race Bronco - Baja or Bust
I am nearly as excited as you are!
Does the spare tire clear the cooling fan ok?

Re: 74 Baja Race Bronco - Baja or Bust
#35 is ALIVE! Started right up with the help of some fuel priming. Have a few gremlins but overall pretty solid so far. Should be ready to do a lap this weekend and then start buttoning things up for shake down and paint.

Re: 74 Baja Race Bronco - Baja or Bust
Last major fabrication is done, Front suspension and steering is complete just needs some paint and a few details tidied up to be 100% up front. Somehow we got air bumps stuffed into the motor mounts, they are not at an ideal angle (8-9 degrees off vertical) but for the wheel travel and lift we are running its pretty damn impressive that they fit at all and allow full up travel. i will probably add some shortened poly bumps on the frame as emergency stops as the first thing that would hit if an air bump fails is the trac bar and diff case with oil pan.. Hopefully get the brakes bled this week and take a run around the block before the next round of snow hits. 60 days left!!!!
