Project Money Well Wasted

[Reservationcody]

I've decided I am going to do a build thread on my 74 bronco. I have been working on it and taking pics along the way. I dont really like typing alot but will post alot of pictures and what I am doing. It might just be alot of pics to begin with! Hopefully it will turn out decent and not take forever! Lots of new parts on this one but trying to keep it looking like an older weheeling rig. Gonna have AC and power windows and other random stuff.

Hope its entertainig

Let’s hope not! I don’t have that kinda attention span!

You know, the average time seems to be 10 years for the complete off-the-frame thing. But I did it in 4 years. So depending on how deep you go, it could be a few!

I don’t either lol. I’ve done frame off in as little as 4 months, ok I didn’t have a frame, I had to build it, but 4 months from a rusty pile of parts to a running, driving bronco that cosmetically and chassis wise has had nothing done to it since.

Ok here we go! Before I got the Bronco I picked up a super awesome hard top from Danny down in Goldsboro NC. Wrong color but Immaculate condition!

Bought some parts when Toms had their free shipping deal. These came in today.
Toms PSC box
Tilt automatic flaming river column
Just a bunch of lenses gaskets bolts and random other parts. Just some more money well wasted!

Yes sir it did! Carbonado? I think that’s spelled right.

Nice Cody! Look forward to seeing more pics!

Here is some pics from the teardown of the bronco.

 

[Reservationcody]

Some windshield frame removal pics. Not to bad to do. But drilled through the metal below with the spot weld cutter in a few spots. I just put some backer plate in there and welded those spots back in. No sweat she isn’t a show rig y’all

You said you don't like to type but make sure you DO IT because your build thread will be your record of all holes drilled, sizes of, why parts didn't fit, where you got them, etc. Great resource for yourself.

Have fun, pics and words.

Will be fun to watch.

Its a pretty good rig overall. Just making it more of what I want it to be. Thanks!

 

[svastano]

Looks Like a great starting point!

New windshield frame installed. Drank some beer and threw some paint on it. Yeah it didn’t stick. So i gotta repaint it!
