7 Year Itch (Condensed)

Wow, great looking work!

Thank you. Having never done metal or paint work before I'm shocked that I was able to do as well as I did. Many hours of sanding and spraying, I can definitely understand why it costs so much to paint one and why so few are willing to do it.

As it sits today. I was planning to install the top today, but it is windy here so I put it off another day. My goal is to drive it on the highway by the end of the month.

After cutting and buffing the paint.

Looks super awesome. Great job. Paint and body work is tedious but so rewarding.

beautiful and nice work! looks like i see holes for some side trim? what a nice build!

Thanks for the compliments. I agree 100% that paint work is tedious but rewarding. I still have the belt trim to install and still debating the rocker moulding.

First time on the road in 7 years! Nothing beats the rattles, squeaks, and wind noise sounds of a classic bronco. It ran and handled pretty well. I think I need some more toe in, and the power steering takes a bit to get used too, but all in all I'm pleased with the results. I still have a few things to complete; door window trim, windshield wipers, hub caps, spare tire carrier, and alignment before I can call the Bronco complete. Hopefully within a week! Merry Christmas to all!
