[QUOTE="Jefe, post: 16335196, member: 41358"] Been a busy month and a half and have not done too much since the last car show. I do have another car show Dec 31st at the Nova Home Loans Bowl Game Tailgate. 175 cars on campus next to the stadium. Might even get some TV coverage (CBS Sports 4:15PM on NYE). I did get contacted by the editor of Hagerty magazine who wants to run a small piece on the Bronco build in an upcoming magazine. I also submitted the Bronco to Barrett Jackson to see about running it thru the 2020 Scottsdale auction. They took a while to get back to me and now they already have 18 Broncos going thru. They first offered a Sunday and then said they could do Weds, Thurs, or Friday if I wanted. I told him maybe next year. I did have a magnet come off the interior quarter panels so I used some stronger glue to reattach them and now they sit nice and tight. Right now Im battling a [URL="https://classicbroncos.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3245090#post3245090"]Horn Wiring Issue[/URL] that I still have not resolved. Something is grounding out when I bolt everything back together. Hopefully I can get it figured out before the next show otherwise Im going hornless!
