Well, I sold my old 73 about 3-4 years ago after my son was born. You know how it goes, it was the first early bronco I ever owned, but it wasn’t getting wheeled much, so it went up for sale.
Seeing as how it had sentimental value, when I sold it I kept the title and the glovebox door. The long term plan is to put it towards a mid life crisis project. Given how long it takes me to finish a project, I decided I better give it a 5-10 year head start. No way I’m paying the stupid asking prices for these things, so I’m starting the design from scratch.
I started my layout and I’ll slowly be designing it in my free time over the next year or so (I hope.) I started with a surface model of the body I purchased on line. I stretched the body 12”. I pulled the “uncut” rear wheel well up, and stretched the opening front to back as well to hide the body stretch. I wanted to give more tire clearance for a 35, but keep the look of an uncut fender. From there I started my space claims for the chassis.
