Bought summer 2013,been looking for a few months and finally found my buddy,it had everything I wanted,302,3speed trans,full top,looked to be in fair condition,got it home from out of state,man what a disappointment,this thing was rough.Needless to say,a full body off restoration was planned.Started tearing it apart the next day.

Wheels and Tires
One custom trick we did was put the gas filler cap on the inside rear qtr instead of cutting on the brand new rear dr side qtr.Installed 23gal. Aero Tank.Also eliminated the seam in the rear qtrs. Installed a Rampage soft top from the bronco graveyard,it's nice,can't wait to take it off this summer woohoo. Also installed some seat covers for now, till I can have the seats redone.I painted her in my garage base/clear with Sherwin Williams 2stage automotive paint.
