77 Knuckle Buster Build 03 - 01

[Bukin 67]

Looking good OB21. I don't think I could have wrapped myself around restoring a Bronco recovered form the bottom of a lake with the kinds of issues that result from the rust and water damage. Great job you're doing, keep it up. You're certainly an inspiration to others for the love of the build.

I find myself using parts that I would have not used 10 years ago. Yes I am better at restoring them but its getting harder and mor expensive to find the cleaner parts. It just takes longer in the end, I guess more bonding time with the Bronco. lol

Working on the bottom of the tub.

Cut out the quarters. I had to air chisel most of it out because I could not locate the spot welds (they were covered by rust and undercoating.

 

[Ohio Bronco 21]

Under coated the bottom with bedliner and began fitting a quarter panel. Yes the picture is upside down, lol

 

[Ohio Bronco 21]

Well I got the quarter panels welded in also seam sealed and painted them on the inside. I also drilled out my door post and fixed them so they are now adjustable again. I hate painting over the old door post (the part that goes in the latch).

One for today. Fitted the Fenders and the grill I will use.

Some epoxy sealer on some parts now. Still have loads of body work and am waiting on a rocker to replace.

Been a bit since I updated. I have been tackling the Body, Doors, Tailgate, hood and taking apart an engine and getting it running. Had the engine fired and running tonight on the frame. The body has been primer sealed and body work slow going. I am building some half doors right now and plan to make inserts for them. My goal is to get this thing in a few coats of high build primer, sanded and painted before October. Also I need to pull the c4 off the engine and get it rebuilt. Seems like I am working on 50 projects at once on this.

High build primer on her.

[Ohio Bronco 21]

Been throwing a lot of time on her. Paint Color? Not 100% yet, but probably will need some Decour Decals
