1973 half cab build The bronco ford should have made

[fordfan]

Hey ford fan I been thinking and I want to cut it out and go with flares what do you think? Is it to late you know I just can't make up my mind. I mean what color should I paint it? I dont know what to do maybe a hood scoop!HE HE He he HA

I couldn't think of a better way to make a living.........weld'em in, then cut'em out. I think this truck would really look good Hot Ginger............no Lime Green Glow..........I mean BLACK!!!!
We may start mass producing the steel cowl hoods.......LOL!!!!!

73 1/2 cab

I guess its almost ready for a body . Ford fan you better shake a leg man. I just went through Dennis Carpenter and Wild Horses cats and made a wish list man I need a loan.

 

[fordfan]

Well ....
We finally got most of the extra holes welded up Friday and carried the everything to the soda blaster......When we pick it up, we plan on it being nude....bare.....shiney metal! The tub is attached to a rotisserie that doesn't hurt it to get blasted and it makes it easier to clean the underneath.

Hey Ford Fan, I hope you do not get locked up for being Nude when you pick it up, Ford Man may have to come bail his body out of the jailhouse when it is confiscated during the arrest. HA HA, I am looking forward to seeing the finished product, the chassis is looking really good, going to be a sweet ride. I am still looking for my options on the tires for mine, hoping something shows up soon.

Project bronco 70, is that who I think it is, our long lost Nashville Buddy, thought you were out of the picture? I can't wait to ride in this fine ride, once he gets it done, bet he will part wayout in the Walmart parking lot and not close to anyone!!!! He's got some good bling going on w/ the copper washers!

 

[ProjectBronco70]

Hey Tim I offered to sell you this bronco at one time instead you bought a yellow one remember?

 

[ProjectBronco70]

I would like to forget that fact...but now that you bring it up again....yes I do remember. Your doing it way more justice than I ever could. It's really looking good. Will you be bringing it to Townsend next year?

Yes.......If Ford Man can get me in gear..............I think my clutch is slipping!!:-[

More than topless: Baring it all! Naked Steel

Here are a few pictures after soda blasting. The tub is almost completely rust free. I will work on the floor pans and it will be completely rust free. I have a paint room full of Naked Steel!

The man I use is Dwight Webb in Piedmont, AL. He was in Centre, AL and his company was "Advanced Blasting". He lives in Piedmont and has moved his business there. He's very meticulous, unlike a lot of blasters I have used before. PM me if you need contact info.

Hey tasker those NOS fenders are going to look good on there to.Ford fan it looks like the soda blast job turned out nice I see the holes in the floorboard you were talking about I hate to replace original floors this good but I don't want holes and it would be easier to fix by puting newones so let me know.PS you must have adjusted your clutch!

I am going to run ford 16" wheels that I got off a 1971 F100 truck they where run with tubs so there was some rust.I had them sand blasted and epoxy primed . I plan to also to run white bumpers to so they to were blasted and primed at the same time.
