I have had this old 70 Bronco since 87. Has a 4spd (not factory) and a potent 302 with headers,4bbl carb.
8 shocks with a 4" lift and urethane bushings throughout. It needs refurbishing again. I will squeeze it in somehow.
Just cant bring myself to sell it.
*The REAL SUV*
Epoxy and plywood: Ok,we are using some 1088 plywood to build this boat with and it seems alot of people are concerned
with epoxy penetrating into the great beyond.Well,with marine ply,no matter how super thin the epoxy is it isnt going past
the first glue line to the core of anything. In any of these mahogany type plywoods,the wood absorbs epoxy so well, there
is no way it is going to let go. Plywood in it's cross section has wood then glue then wood then glue,etc. The epoxy becomes
the next glue line which penetrates better than the glue they make the plywood with. The fibreglass becomes the next ply.
Most failures in plywood start near an edge or joint. The endgrains are where the extra care should be taken.
