The rims are OEM Ford 15x7.5 off a 96 F150. No big plans for the bronco. Not really built with the intent of wheeling it, just wanted a nice clean looking drive when its nice out type of truck.

Thanks for the informative post, I'm fixing to paint mine and your painting steps really helped.

Got a little time to work on the seats this weekend. New covers and foam, sandblasted and painted the tracks, used a vinyl die on the seat backs and trim pieces. Also got them installed along with new retractable lap belts.

I used aircraft paint remover made by Kleen Strip

I've used that stuff quite a bit, it's always fun when you don't realize you dripped some on your hand or something, you find out real quick though!

The next time i'm in Ft.Dodge i'll drop mine off so you won't get bored.

Finished up a lot of loose ends this week,

I like to let the my paint jobs cure a bit then I'll go back and do one last buffing and since it had been around 3 months since I painted the bronco I was also able to give it a good coat of wax


Freshened up the paint on the chassis



Installed the hood pins,



Redone the instrument cluster


Installed the radio and speaker kit from custom auto sound.



Was able to get out and drive it a bit

From NPD. They are not the what I would classify as a high quality panel, but they got the job done.

Been about a year since I last posted on the 76. Heres a few recent pics of the finished truck.

What kind of paint did you use on your instrument cluster?

 

[RJGarza]

Just plain sick! Those are 35" tires, correct?

I used a white face decal kit, and on the cover that used to be black I used a chemical stripper to remove what was left of the original paint and left it a natural aluminum finish and painted the outer ring with SEM Trim Black. Also repainted the needles.
