| Camela and Alan (Kirshbom),
Thanks you so much for the check, it is greatly appreciated. It was a surprise and a pleasure to hear that yall and fellow Bronco enthusiasts that rallied together for the rescue fund. Here are the pictures. Keep in mind that both Broncos were in the garage before the Storm (Hurricane Katrina). The 72 yellow was washed completely out and almost in the canal. The 73 green primer was jammed between pilings and go beat up bad really bad, and no, my yard does not usually look like that. The 72 (yellow) landed against the dock, the shovel jammed in the door handle was done by Katrina. Got it running after pickling motor with Marvel Mystery Oil, fresh gas, fresh battery, and note do not stand by motor after pulling plugs, dumping two quarts of Marvel through carburetor, and jumping off solenoid, unless you want to get covered from head to toe in red oil Ha, Ha. Tried to drive it out and blew rear output shaft on transfer case. Look closely at the pictures and you can see cable off PTO worked great. Lots of work left to do on the 72 (yellow), I think its going to become a mud truck. The 73 (green primer) is now going to be a frame-off restoration. Note all the sawgrass jammed into the 73 (green primer). I had a long disagreement with some snakes and one big nutria rat with them thinking that the 73 (green primer) was their new home. Thanks again,
