So life has gotten in the way of the build but we have been making some good progress over the past couple months. The rear corner light sections were cut out and new ones were fitted. I found some very nice fenders here on cb and removed the paint. The grill, rockers, dash, and inner door panels were media blasted and first coat of primer sprayed. The body guy has fixed some dents on the grill also.

A few coats of primer and some blocking/sanding. The tub is still out at the media blaster, so more pics and updates next time I stop in to the body shop.

Hey Randy, the avatar was actually the last Bronco that Jay and I did. I ended up selling that last year when I picked up this project, so I think I'm going with a different color.
