Great looking Bronco. Is the color springtime yellow? Looks more yellow than wimbledon white.

I's easier to ask forgiveness than permission:-*

It's been resprayed. Here's a better representation of the original color (I haven't researched the color name/marti report yet).

Thanks. She actually pretty cool with it, as long as I didn't bring it home!

It's being stored at my buddies, lol. I now have 4 cars stored at others places. I need a bigger garage.

So which one are you giving away?

 

[Teal68]

Dang Anton,
I clicked your build link from your response on mine and this is what I find. You scored another great Bronco! That will make working on the other easier since you can drive this one now.
Enjoy Tyler

 

[MyOriginal66]

Thanks Tyler, it drives but it's been sitting since I first posted this, lol. Took it out about a month ago and it started right up. Drove it a little but it's in need of some fluid changes and a major tune-up so I didn't want to drive it too much. I'm back home in November so I hope the LUBR gets finished before I have time to enjoy this one, lol. Although I have started to gather parts... It never ends!!!!

Just keeping this updated...

So far I have new fender flares, a new inner rear fender well ( a PO cut the top off the wheel well and welded in a flat steel plate???), a family cage, stock bumpers, a soft top, a 4.5" lift, sway bars, a tilt column, sport trim and some basically new BFG M/T 35's mounted on 17" wheels. I don't really like the wheels but it was a good deal and I'm going to plastidip them black. Should look a lot better than the chrome. I'm going to tune/clean it up, vinyl wrap it, add an interior kit, some long arms, 1" body lift, bilsteins and then beat the shit out of it. Should be fun and I'll have less than $10K into it including purchase price

 

[MyOriginal66]

Just keeping the thread alive.

what's the recent status/Pics ? Hope you're enjoying that ride..

Haven’t updated this thread in ages but we have been working on this Bronco... since July, we installed a WH 3.5 lift with bilsteins, duff long arms (in black, or what they call midnight series), extreme shackles, WH trac bar riser, BC Broncos steering with heim joints, ceramic coated shorty headers and new exhaust, new calipers, rotors and rear cylinders, new stainless brake lines, new axle hard lines, hydroboost, a new aux tank, a full tune and gutted the interior. It’s finally drivable and runs great. Also tracks straight but I think there might be some minor play in the steering box or my tire air pressure is off.

This weekend we plan on installing the flares and then just need to finish up the interior. Haven’t decided if we’re going with the stock seats reupholstered or aftermarket (either Tom’s or procar).

Also, no rust to be found anywhere! The original paint under the aux tank we almost perfect
