I was really happy with how the doors closed with the Metro Soft Seals.

You have the Metro Supersoft Seals? When did you get them? I had to send mine back to them because they were so bad. They pulled them back out of production. That's been at least a year ago.

Yes, the Metro Supersoft Seals, I bought them back in Feb 2015.

You got lucky! I fought with them for a year. When they finally got them back in production they sent me a set that was nowhere close to right. I'm going to call them tomorrow and see what is going on..... Summit shows them as available direct from the manufacturer for $79.00. Amazon says unavailable.

Thanks

Nice work so far! Amazing really! Looks like we are neighbors...I'd love to see it in person some time.

It looks like the Bronco has moved around during the build maybe. Where is it now? I'm curious if it is somebody local.

Tyler,

The bronco is still in Texas, I PCS'ed to Tyndall AFB last summer and live in Panama City. Hopefully soon the bronco will join me. I've noticed a few broncos in PC and a really nice one over on 30A.

Jerry,
Your pretty close. I live in Inlet Beach which is at the East end of 30A. There's a few really nice ones around here....I'm curious which one you saw. My wife's is a stock looking Caribbean Turquoise, there's a metallic silver cut/lifted one with camel seats that velocity built hangs around Alys Beach mostly, a Tan & black cut roadster I see around Water Color, and Copper Metallic uncut in Seagrove. Did you see one of these?

Hopefully we run into each other sometime. I drive a lifted, uncut Calypso Coral one. Sometimes it has 66 hubcaps on it, and sometimes I just just with the bare steel wheels. Depends on the mood!

Tyler,

My wife and I go to 30A about once a month to walk around and go to the record shop. The last time there we saw a Copper Metallic uncut that was topless...it may have had stock hubcaps. A while back I saw a Caribbean Turquoise, cut, lifted, with hardtop leaving Tyndall AFB but haven't seen it since.

The record shop at Seaside is great isn't it! That Copper Metallic one was just finished recently. It was cut and brought back to uncut with original wheels and the later hubcaps. He even stuck with the straight six, no ps, no pb, and re-used the wiring harness. The owner, Dan, is super nice if you run into him. There's actually a lot of Broncos in this small area from rough to super nice. It's good to see them all!

Looks as though your truck is going to turn out amazing. You bought yours a few months before I bought mine, I've been doing upgrades on the fly as I've been enjoying and driving my truck including 4 road trips in the past 3 years. It will never be near as nice as yours, I just can't imagine 3 1/2 years before I get a chance behind the wheel!

I'm sure the wait will be worth it, sounds as though you are coming down the home stretch...congrats, beautiful truck!

It's been a long journey and still a ways to go; I see why so many projects are never finished. If I had to do it all over again, I don't know which path I would take.
