I am finally getting some work done on my 72. I have had it for about 7 months. The frame and running gear are good but the body is a ton of rust. I call it Spawn (SATANS SPAWN) because every time I turn around I find more that needs replaced. I will post some pics of the progress so far. I started by cutting what was left of the front clip off, most of it is good so that should be pretty simple to put back. I cut off the shock mounts and welded on some F250 shock mounts. I cut out the passenger floorpan (what was left) and then took the outside rocker off. I had to replace some of the inner rocker toward the front of the floor and part of the inner kick panel. I then welded in a 4x4 x 1/4 " rocker. I fitted and welded in a new striker post then I replaced the top of the rocker panel on top of the 4x4. I cut the rear quarter panel , outer first then inner along with the wheel well. The rear corner was smashed so I cut it off leaving the support piece and the top of the inner rocker. I got two long beds off of 65 ford pickups for parts. I cut the rear corner out and welded it to the Bronco support piece. I then cut out what was left of the rear quarter and cut the truck bed piece to fit. I am in the process of getting it fitted and will hopefully weld it in this weekend. Any comments or advice on things you see would be greatly appreciated. This will be a slow process but I will try to keep it updated as I go. Thanks
