Bought these 2 tonight. The green one needs a lot of help there are patches everywhere and the red one I cant even hardly see until we clear all of the brush away and pull it out but they will be saved and be on the road again. I guess I am that guy who has to buy the pile of parts and make them whole again. I got a lot of other pieces parts, doors, dashes and such with them. At least I have a buddy and my son doing this with me. When done they will each have a Bronco of their own that they worked on and helped to save.

Kinda back story on this. My Son told me riding in mine right after I finished it "Dad I want a Bronco to drive when I get my DL. ye is getting ready to turn 15. Will be his first vehicle and my first was a 77 sport that started this sickness with me. We have one year so the race is on. His girlfriends dad, who is a good buddy of mine saw my Bronco when we pulled up to their house right after I finished it about a month ago and immediately said "I want one!". So here we are. My Buddy just joined the forum as Bronco-Buster so one of these will be his

Tetanus shots updated right ;)

You know it!!!

Thanks everyone and We will start two build threads after we get them in the barn and all unloaded. My Son will have one thread and my buddy bronco-buster will have another. We are gonna build them both together but they both have their own vision. One will be a roadster and the other a Soft Top.

Very cool. Just finishing my part of a father-son build. I bought his for his 13th birthday. can't believe it took 4 1/2 years! Still a lot to do but my job was to make it road worthy. Anger, frustration, and blood. Done. but why am I already itching to start another one?

What I want to know is did the selling let them go to you right away, or was it the typical, "I'm going to get to these broncos some day."?

No he used about 4 broncos to make his good one. I don't have a pic but it is a beautiful baby blue and white with shaved doors and bikini top that he cruises around in. He had the "I need to buy as manny as possible mind set when he was building his but ended up making his out of 2 and had these two left over. He has about 5 classic cars he has redone a 40s a 50s a couple of 60s and a 70s.
