1969 bronco rebuild

[fatboy]

Very Nice. great progress and all the parts look so much cleaner than mine.

 

[Revelation]

WOW reminds me of mine, 3 years ago. Keep up the good work, looking good!

That thing was super clean when you were taking it apart. Now it's going to look brand new! I hope I find one that clean when I'm in the market. Your 72 was sweet looking. I saw a 73 Ranger on ebay that same color about a year and a half ago. It was lifted and cut, and I wish I had been in the market then.

Whos rear housing is that? I am thinking it is aftermarket.

Glad to see your back at it, what a great rig to start with, you don't see to many in that good of original condition. Man I wish I could find a rig like that around here, mostly rust free is a rare for sure. the original paint looked good enough for me.
