1971 Stroppe Baja Restoration

[TX SS]

The carpet looks really good and you did a great job on install. Just having put carpet in mine I know what a job this is.

 

[Baja71]

Thanks! First time for a carpet install. The product was well made by ACC. I also added their heavy rubber backing for heat and sound. I'd definitely buy from them again.

Man that thing is looking awesome! Nice work!

 

[gritz]

That looks nice. I may have to look into it for my 69.

 

[BajaBronco]

Good choice Baja71. Looks great. Nice pun too!

Nice job with the carpet, looking good!

New accessory

 

[Baja71]

^^^Now that's funny!^^^

 

[Baja71]

Take a back seat.

The rear seat frame was still wrapped from the powdercoater. I'm guess those little dimples with smooth out once I get a few butts back there. ;D

 

[74BroncoCO]

Gee, there's another accessory for just that:

Can't wait to see you cruising this thing around!

The wheel well carpet doesn't cover the whole qtr panel, so I guess I'm looking into qtr panel inserts, or leaving them bare.

The current crop of parchment vinyl side panels are very slick. Not particularly Stroppe-correct perhaps, but very slick looking.
Here's a set in a friend's Bronco.

Looking good TW.....I finally made RU this year, and managed to keep mine intact until Saturday afternoon.....Maybe see you in the show and shine next year?

 

[RajinCajun]

Looking great... maybe we will see it at the Round-Up next year?

 

[Baja71]

Buckle Up!

My '71 seatbelts really were in great shape, except for the buckles. So a little refresh was in order.

Lacing? On a Bronco??

Not sure what good this 'cowl lacing' rubber weather strip does, but I installed a new one.

This little bracket was the sole leftover from the powdercoater. To be honest, it sat because I forgot where it went. It wasn't until I decided to look at the rear reflector installation that a recalled the lone bracket. It was a perfect match. Home at last.

 

[Baja71]

I also installed some NOS side lights...and took a gratuitous Bronco pic.

I started with Dennis Carpenter door weather strip but didn't like the consistency of it and changed to Metro which is much softer. I actually had to loosen up the AUX tank and slide it over a bit to get the lower clips in.
