68 custom in NM: Build Thread *** Lot's O' Photos***

[Tito]

Alright, when does the mass production start! Haha, looks good bud!

 

[kbldawg]

That's really a nice job you've done there. I can't wait to see it installed.

 

[Fishbone]

Looks pretty slick Adam.

 

[22213evl]

fine craftsmanship as usual! looking great!

 

[hopp150]

Man, if you started making and selling those consoles i'll bet you could make a killing.

 

[Ohio Bronco 21]

Nice work and good attention to detail

 

[phred]

Wow, that really turned out nice. Great detail.
Did you ever get your shifter linkage figured out?

 

[GraficO]

thanX all... the engine is being built and after the old one is out I can get in there and build the t-case shifter linkage much easier.

This was a labour of love. I'd like to build a few more in different configs for different shifter setups... but I'm not sure what the final product would cost. I'll look into it as a I have a friend that makes all sorts of carbon fiber things. If I got him a finished plug he could make as many as needed.

I'd like to drive mine before I took on that challenge though

That console is really looking good! I was wondering where all of those stainless plates were going to go. Now it all makes sense.

 

[GraficO]

One more panel to install... this one is so that the console doesn't get chewed up by people's feet in the back seat... trying to decide if I want to have this backlit as well... like my logo on the main console area.

OPINIONS PLEASE:
I have a brand new "Bronco" Script logo for the front quarter panel that I thought might look good on the main panel of the console... cool or too much & leave it be? See photo...;D

I have a SPORT emblem that has had all the red paint removed so it's all chrome... that might be too much though.

Opinions would be appreciated.

 

[GraficO]

Many thanks go out to Carl, Fish and Nick for all their help in this project!!!

 

[jesus888]

I am currently too envious to offer my opinion Regardless, your details are amazing!

 

[nrramse]

I forget - what are you using for the side panels above the wheel wells? A match for that might look good.

Or maybe a peice of diamond plate. I've noticed that stuff hides scuff marks well.

Sorry I didn't get over there last weekend!

I think it would look good laser cut, like the other piece, but not so good with the OEM Bronco Badge.

 

[KANE]

To say Nice Job is a damn understatement......That's F*cking Awesome!!!!!!

I want the same one....Pay pal waiting!! Actually I'll be the guiney pig and try that one out...LOL

On a serious note, I would definetly want one if you find a way to duplicate yours. Your one hell of a creative bastard...Excellent work!!!!

[tasker]

Awesome Job!!

 

[GraficO]

thanks guys... I really appreciate the compliments. I am looking at making consoles after I get my truck running... stay tuned.

Tasker... you realize that there are several parts in this Bronco that I bought from you on Ebay? It amazes me how in more ways than just a few we are all interconnected

Now if I can just get the rest moving along!

Major tasks coming up:
- install A/C
- remove/replace engine (it's done it just needs to be put in)
- Install disk brakes
- build cable-shift t-case shifter aparatus
- build rear speaker boxes/qtr panel inserts
- put in the gas tanks & plumbing
- install window glass
- build bumpers & rear tire rack (have chromed)
- rebuild axles & pumpkins
- finish out the wiring.

 

[ILikeBond]

Any pictures of the console at least mocked up in the truck (i.e., even if you haven't installed it yet, can you just sit it where it goes and show us)?

Looks awesome man. I vote for the laser cut Bronco logo too.

 

[GraficO]

I'll place the seats, dash and console and shoot a photo tomorrow.

I'm trying to get Nick's project ironed out tonight

 

[TTTGOWYO]

Wow, This is my first time reading this thread. I like to cheat and come in at the end because I have no patience. Anyway, this is beyond words. I wish I was half as creative and talented as you are. I am currently re-doing my dash and was really happy with the way it is turning out, and then YOU had to come along and make feel like a no-talent punk. Can't wait to see it finished. Keep up the awesomeness. (is that a word?)
