The green is a Jaguar color called racing green. Pretty nice color with a lot of gold pearl in it. It also has flop adjuster in it so it kinda changes colors. It should look really good in natural light or SUN

Just adding a couple of pics. I'm going to start working on this again. Member plothead was looking for info on quarter panel install so I brought this back to top. Check out how nice that used quarter panel look with bedliner on it.

That looks great, nice work, if I were nearby we'd celebrate with all you can eat wings at hOOters 2nite!
What bedliner is that? ...and did you spray?
EDIT: nevermind, just went back to the last picture post.
thanks

Did you spray that bedliner on the inside in this pic?? If so what kind is it and what gun did you use??

Guys, I sprayed the front end with SEM tintable bedliner so we could put the body back on the frame. The inside is linex and it looks really nice.

update 5-11-05

Been a while since I updated this thread. I have been stuck here without parts. This thing is really starting to drag on. I did some body work last week on the quarter panels. Quarter panels were kinda rough but not too bad. A lot of the dents / low spots were holes I welded shut, old bodywork and some warpage from sandblasting in the past. There is not a lot of filler on this. I choose to do all of my work with filler and use little primer and no spot putty of any type. Most of what you see is 1/16th inch or less. Grill is done, ready to sand and paint. Quarter panels are coming along and now have primer on them. Tailgate is new. I sanded it, sprayed some etching primer on it, and a couple of coats of sandable primer. I'm going to have fenders and doors pretty soon.

Still didn't clean the overspray from the camera lens, huh? ;D

back end ready to paint

My camera needs replacing. All my pictures are starting to suck.

Worked on the quarterpanels, rockers, tailgate, and painted the door jambs.

Pictures are as follows. 1- sanded the primered quarterpanels and did all of my seam sealer work. 2- reprime the quarters . They are ready for a light sanding and they are all set to paint. Both quarters came out nice. 3- painted the door jambs and inside of tailgate, sanded and painted the dash

Not going to paint the tub and all the other parts off the truck?

No, this is a paint it all at once job. Too many things can go wrong on a color like this. This green has three different pearls and flop adjuster in it. Trying to paint it all apart may or may not be a problem, I'm not taking any chances.

2Bad,

She really looks good! Keep us updated with pics..

Looks like you are doing quality work. What is the expected completion date and what all are you doing? What do you do for a living? How do you charge for a project like this?

Keep the pics coming, we all find them inspiring.

 

[NYBronco]

My Bronco

As usual Andy is doing a great job. I love seeing this project get closer and closer to completion. Just a comment as far as how long. Andy could have been done a long time ago for sure if it wasn't for the fact that I was holding him up on some parts. I am currently on my way back from Dennis carpenter with my fresh fenders. This along with my doors comig in from CA and a new windshield frame from JBG should have Andy wrapped up for the next couple of days. I'm sure he is anxious to finish this one up.

 

[2badrotties]

Oh my, For once the body guy didn't get blamed for not getting it done ;D .

I may be able to have this painted and buffed by the end of the month. If we slow down at work I can take a couple days off and get something done if I spend the time out there working on it. The fenders are going to be new so they should go pretty fast. I have not seen the doors yet. The quarterpanels were the big part of this job and they are done.

update 5-23-05

Finally got some parts. Two nice rust free doors came from California. Doors have a few dents, a little shipping damage, and some previous bodywork but they are RUST FREE ! I had to do a little welding where the molding holes used to be and there were about six sets of holes for mirrors. Stripped them, fixed them, epoxy primer and K36 sandable primer sprayed on them. FENDERS - Brand new. I got to cut them ;D and fix just a couple of dings on them. Epoxy primer and K36 primer sprayed on them also.

NYBronco has been coming over on weekends and doing a little work under the hood. He is getting something done under there. Working on brakes and wiring right now. It is starting to look like a Bronco again. I'll have doors and fenders on in a couple of days.


DYLAN got so tired watching me work today he had to take a nap ;D

More minor problems

Problems - Windshield frame is pretty piss poor. Welded together wrong, hinge falling off, not too good . I fixed it up pretty well but that should have been made a lot better than that. Pics as follows - I can stick a rather large screwdriver between the frame and hinge on both ends ( nearest weld is about 6 inches in from edge ). The entire side is welded together wrong. One side is welded at a angle. Look at the straight edge and look at the end of windshield frame. All of the welds are very rough and need grinding and body work.

A factory frame isn't real good from the factory but this is just a little too crude. I will not tell you where it was purchased. If NYBronco wants to post that info that is fine. Might save someone else some work in the future
