A little more progress.

Had some rust in the lower left winshield frame. I just kept cutting to the right until I hit good metal. Inner and outer sheetmetal needed replacing so it was a bit of work but worth it to save the original frame on this Bronco.

We're gonna pour some rust extend in to the frame and spin the the body around to get it all over the inside walls. Hopefully that'll hold off any further rust holes for a few years.

From what I've heard that nail trick was around long before I was born. lol Those guys in the '50's had it going on.

Out in Diamond Bar.

Kinda bummed out, the nice new looking well cared for Lincoln you all see in the pic died on me today. Spent most of the day trouble shooting it and it looks like it's the "board". I don't get a lot of days to work on this so it's a real let down.

Didn't have much time this trip out so was only able to cut the rear fenders properly and mock up the old school fiberglass flares.

After cutting with the nibbler I did even out the cut and made it look nice, just didn't take a pic.

Great work.. I wish I had some of your skills.. Body work and welding terrify me. I love doing everything else.

Man, I'd give my left (insert body part here) if I could work a weekend with my Dad on his old Bronco. Take your time and enjoy the journey.
