The "DIABLO CABALLO" and the Mexican 1000
Well it's been six months since the NORRA Mexican 1000 rally was postponed due to hurricane damage in Baja California back in September of '09. In that six months we've managed to get next to nothing done on our 1968 Ford Bronco in preparation for the event. As the days click off and we get closer to the new date of April 27th, we are scrambling to check projects off our list. Currently I'm waiting for header flanges for our Ford 351C "M" heads to be laser cut and sent to the header guys so they can assemble our new pipes. With those done we will be able to fit up the beautiful stainless Magnaflow gear into the tight quarters between the frame rails. Then the whole exhaust system will be removed and sent out to be ceramic coated to contain all that heat and further protect from corrosion. Next order of business will be the new power steering system provided by PSC motorsports, which I can already tell is going to take some time and fabrication to install. The last thing before proper testing ensues is the electronics package consisting of a long range VHF radio, driver/navigator intercom, and GPS unit. Along with all this there are numerous details to attend to both on the Bronco and in the logistics involving our team, lodging, chase vehicles, pit equipment, trailer prep, t-shirt printing......... yikes.
Stay tuned,
B.
