Time for test miles before buttoning up the remaining details…

Really, really looking good! After you have a few of these things, you hone in on what you want and how it should look.

Very nice! Someday my '67 will look very similar.

Means a lot coming from you. My buddy (that I posted the silver build thread of) and I both went from steel molded fenders on our last ones to uncut on our second (and third for me - first was molded flares). We agree that the longer you hang around Broncos, the more you want them to look more original.

My goal was to make it look like it was straight from the factory, but with a Coyote, 10 speed, Wilwoods, Icon spare, etc.

I have a ton of small touches (icon spare, but put OEM license plate bracket on passenger side with no Ford emblem, Fat Fender exterior door handles, a ton of interior piece upgrades, ventilated seats, etc) that if you look at it briefly you don't notice, but when you start spending time with it, you keep seeing more and more.

I'm super excited how it's turning out. I plan to get it dialed in with some paint protection film, clear "tint" all around for the heat and ceramic coating...then put a lot of miles on it with the kiddos in the back seat. Can't wait!

Just.....wow.

Who made your ventilated front seats? Rear ventilated is next level stuff......
And are they tied to the AC?

Thats an amazing dream built. Looks great.

It’s about visibility, it’s offset to the drivers side, blocks less of your vision over your shoulder and through the rear view mirror.

center 3rd left or center 3rd right... not seeing the difference? Open right for safety?
Open right, using right hadn so tailgait can drop with left hand, then right hand is
ready for whatever is being accessed? aahahahaa

who made the wheel. Looks like it has the tabs for oem caps?

Wheels I believe are made by Circle Wheels.

Not sure the details. I'm expecting it may be fully buttoned up and ready to ship late this week. If so, will have in my hands a week or so from tomorrow. Can't wait!

It might be...
Circle RACE Wheels
or
Circle TRACK Wheel
not sure. After nother chat w/builder let me know?
Also since U list them (who is building this rig) i
should B able to inquire their supplier from the
numerious they use. In my mind U made a good
choice/spent well...

I think both of those searches route you to circleracing.com. I’m confident that’s the correct supplier, but will confirm for you and advise if incorrect.

Looks real sharp out in the sun, I love the painted steel wheels on these builds.

[PDQ]

Pretty amazing again

I looks like you have lift off hinges and door straps, but have the rubber wire channel between the door and the jam; do you know if the lift off doors are functional and if yes, how the wiring and channel disconnects?

Thanks for alot of ideas .............which only lead to questions and money.....

This is a fun build to look at. So many upgrades. Beautiful Bronco hands down. But I have to ask…..I do not see any transfer case shifter? Has hubs in the front. On this type of build usually see the dual shifters something like JB has to offer.

They’re using a Ford electronic transfer case that uses buttons to engage rather than the twin stick setup. I haven’t gotten a pic showing where it’s positioned, but here’s an example from a Vintage Bronco seen recently (pic 66): https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1973-ford-bronco-218/

Slick! Very clean. Thanks for the input!
