Bronco at Paint

Progress,

The Paint and Body guys have the front end done and are moving on to top. They hope to have it in primer next week. Couple pictures of progress.

I have a video of the passenger side door all aligned and closing as smooth as glass. Don't know how to upload that.

v/r,

Nice!
I've got one at the body shop now too

What color are you going with?

SevenT · Nov 14, 2020

Paint

TNcowboy,

Going back to factory (Mojave Tan on the body and Wimbledon White for the top). It should look sharp. It is a Sport and there will be no chrome on it. I even had the shiny trim powder coated Satin Black.

Just about there! Going highland with no chrome! 50% matte on everything. Even the old-school 10" slots for the daily drivers.

More to show on the body work. Body and Paint guys fixed the door lock on the Driver's door. Have the hood, grille, fenders and doors ready for primer. The tub gets primer middle of this week. The top is a hot mess, but is coming along. I go Friday to see the spray cards for the Mojave Tan and Wimbledon White. Fingers crossed that it get finished by Christmas.

I’d have them pull the hinges off and paint separately.
I’d also pull the nerf bars so the painter has an easier time painting the rockers.

The radiator support/piece behind the grill looks like it got some serious love! Did they remove the support pieces to make it flat?

Looks good!

This thing will look sweet when done. The hinges will be body color. The flares will be Wimbledon White like the top to accent the Mojave Tan. More to follow.

Already looks pretty sweet brother.. I know you can't wait to be done

The hood, top, flares and body are going to the paint booth next week. There are four coats of clear on the parts (makes them look wet). This thing will be awesome when done. I don't think they even looked this good new.

That's going to be spectacular. Every reason to be proud of it!

Speedrdr · Dec 19, 2020

My neighbor has one he restored and that’s the colors he painted. He just swapped out a fiberglass half cab tor a new metal half cab. I’m thinking you’re gonna get lots of compliments as that is a spectacular color combo. Waiting to see finished product.
