Project: 76, Orange Special Decor

The mounting bracket for the large grey Trans plug may contact the body when you put things back together... You should leave it loose from the trans. I believe I had to have to modify all of mine even with the 1" body lift. Some were just simple bends, two were shortened. Just an FYI...

Great work by the way

Thanks 904, I will loosen it and tie it back against the trans, before setting the body back on.

Me too. I have been saying it should be done in a couple weeks, for six weeks now.

I brought home the fresh from paint, James Duff tire carrier this week. And I also have a few pictures of additional parts of the Bronco in paint. The body is on the hoist and masked for under body painting, in black Lizard Shin with top coat. This paint application is probably finished by the time of this post. I will stop by and check this afternoon.

Excellent!

I got the call today from the restoration shop. They are ready for the chassis. This week they finished the under body painting. And by the end of the week. The engine bay and interior will be painted. So early next week the body will go back on the frame for final painting. Getting very close to having it home, so excited.

So tonight we loaded up the chassis. Oh, and I bought a new truck a few weeks ago. A new 2023 with great discounts and 1.9 financing. Love it so far. Here are some pic's.

I've seen it personally and got to touch it! It is pretty awesome!!
Good to see yours progressing. Those 35's look just right on that chassis. I happened to be by the shop and saw it up on the lift. It will be a marriage made in heaven when the two get together.

 

[gnsteam]

Thank gentlemen. I hope to have it home in a few weeks.

Very nice indeed, you must be like a kid in a candy store.

What I am looking forward to more. Is having full control over my checkbook again! I've been handcuffed for 13 months with payments to the restoration shop.

I'm out of town visiting our granddaughter. But the shop is still working on paint. They sent me a few photos of the progress. So I thought I would share. It may be finished next week!

 

[Bruners4]

That is exciting! It's starting to really come back together. Can't wait to see it in person.
