Ford thunderbird console swap/build

[amfw]

Don't everybody hate me but I have followed this thread and think the work is amazing. It just doesn't say Bronco to me. It says Thunderbird.

No hate at all from the OP either. I had a VERY similar thought when I was placing it today. The thing for me, at least to start is, that the Tuffy console doesn't scream Bronco to me either. It screams... Tuffy. I have a buddy that drives a 60s Falcon and describes it as a time machine. I see it similarly, so having something from the same era is less distracting to that experience for me, as opposed to the Tuffy box.

Had to push install back a day. Spent Monday night in NH and had a few steps to go before dropping it in. Plus my shop looked like this....

So I made myself clean up and wait one more day, BUT it's in! Or as in as it's gonna get for a while. I have a lot of work to do on my dash, so I haven't bolted it down yet, but it's where it's gonna sit, and no problems! Had to put the seats in to have a look, even though they need to come out again too. I have more to write about but I'm just gonna drop these pics for now.

Really nice job! Not sure what does and doesn't look bronco to me as none of them came with a consoles.

I love this. It looks right at home in an Early Bronco!

It does feel nice and at home now that it's all in (and I cleaned up the truck)

Seats are aftermarket. Procar rally elite. I love them. They are very comfortable and the big bolsters keep my butt in the seat, which is a good feeling when you don't have doors...

Thanks, I am definitely pleased! I can't stop looking at it. I am sure there will be tweaks, but I am VERY happy with how it sits right now!
