I sprayed the tub with almost a gallon of PPG DP40LF epoxy primer this past week; Still a little metal work to do ie. both floor pans and a little repair on the drivers side inner fender. Almost!!! a completely rust free tub!:-[:-[

I'm not sure if Ford Man is going to know what to do with a rust free - dent free Bronco.

That RED Bronco looks good! Is it for sale? Cheap? Those hub caps changed its personality......It looks a little more sophisticated.....Whatever that means..

I see that claw hammer in the floor where you installed those NOS hubcaps!!:)

hub caps

Well I guess since we are on the subject of hub caps lets vote on what looks best heres a few pic I am haveing a hard time deciding.Ford fan I admit I did use the claw hammer on the install very hard to get on and that powder coating is thick and is ruined on that front rim.

Hey ford man, you need to go a little farther with the tire choices, you left out white walls, grey rims, and multiplies of that!!!!!;D;D;D I had several conversations with folks about "Argent" rims vs "WW" Rims!!!%)%)%) (#3 was the winner)

Hey Ben, I like your rim, tire, cap study!!!!Talking about studying..........I see Big Brian's reflection in the door of his red '72 STUDYING!!* He's pondering.........."Man I messed my powdercoated rims up and I beat my NOS caps up with this claw hammer!!!!!"** Hey Brian, I think it looks better like the last pic.* A cap on the front and not on the back.* I think I would alternate them on the other side; one on the back and not on the front.* OH...By the way , you can sell me the other two extras since you don't need them!!!;D

I don't see any spinners in these studies. I know how Ford Man likes the bling so I thought there would be spinners.

Fordman got my vote for hubcaps all the way around. Weeds are the only thing growing down here now. I think I am going to find me a set of spinners to go on mine too.
We had a good time today figuring out Fordmans new tubing bender today, lots of scratching the head! Figure all the kinks on his then we can do old double tap rear rollbar.
I did keep the hammer away from him though.

I guess yard man would have to be code for congressman at that point? Maybe we could get you and Fordman a federal grant to study the history and mechanics of Broncos. They are endangered right?
