Delta-The frame actually was very clean had had no rust at all. That was a different story for the body but the sand blaster and powder coated told me they got way in there and from what i can feel they did.
Heus-Yes Im very happy I went with the duff monster kit. Very stong and heavy duty parts and construction. Somewhat of a bear to handle by yourself. Thanks

Man what a hell of a build you've got going on. Very nice! Your welds are awesome. You are dang sure doing it right and very fast for the quality. Very well thought out. Way more thought out than mine. If I were painting it black there is only one name I would choose. VADER.

My doors fit horrible, my grille fits so-so, and my fenders fit ehhhh..... These things were built to work, not look good. Getting all this stuff to go on perfectly is going to be like pulling teeth. Not enjoying this part of the build. I thought the first body guy had fit all my panels before giving them back to me. Since then I've had everything painted and stuff ain't lining up too well. Uh oh. Looks like I'm in for a rude awakening.

Hey guys a little update on the bronco. Got my stainless door hinges in so we can make sure the doors fit tight and also the roll bar mounted up to get the mounted holes drilled. One problem with the rear supports on the roll bar. It seems that the mounting for the support interferes with the gas cover on the drivers side. Im gonna extend the rear supports 3 3/4" to get the mounting plate on the rear channel at the end of the truck. Also some pics of the rear seams and grille and fenders seams welded and getting worked out. She's next in line to be painted so Im getting pretty excited. Enjoy

little update. The body work is about 95% done and should be getting primed next weekend. Test fit the top to make sure everything is matching up. Fit perfect and also welded the nuts for the top to the body for convenience.

Got a good coat of primer on and getting ready to do the underside in bed liner. Should have a rolling chassis later this week with all new air lockers, 31 spline axles and everything possible to finish the job.

Some progress on the Bronco. Got my C4 and D20 back together and on the frame. Painted the new rear drums and also the new calipers. Doing axles tomorrow with air lockers front and back and beefed up components. My painter got the truck all seamed up and caulked. Also got the bed liner sprayed and engine bay painted. Enjoy.
