Ok- it's not a true "Barn Find". It was in a steel shed, and most of the Minnesota Bronco club knew it was there..... So it wasn't too hard to find.

Ok- it's not a Roadster, but the door handles have been shaved, as have the door locks and window frames giving it that Roadster look :cool:.

Thanks Dave for the opportunity to buy your project! Dave has all the hard work done already. Frenched in steel front fender lips into the rear quarters. Rebuilt 351W that sounds sweeeeet, and a rebuilt C4.

Can't wait to get this thing RED, and on the road!

Awesome! Love the look of the doors, are you using a popper kit? If so, can you share some pics of the setup? I've had a kit sitting in my garage for over a year waiting for me to bite the bullet.

So basicaly you've lied to us? ;D

JK - nice find!

Heus - I put poppers on my '66. Pretty easy install. Just that they are a pain if the battery goes dead! I've crawled in from the rear on several occasions . . .

Wow...... You must have caught Dave on the right day. I really hope you don't flip this one.

No need for the popper. The bronco doors are light and the weather-stripping will pop the door out. All you need is the release mechanism.

I don't have all my weatherstripping. I've already got the poppers, just curious where everything got mounted up.

No poppers yet- It's only sitting on 31's with stock suspension, so the reach-in isn't too bad. I'll have to research the best way to get the doors open.
