Got another bronco

[nutter3]

Well I brought a new (74) bronco home yesterday.
Plans are hopefully a full rebuild. Only time will tell, but at least I am starting out with a good body, only rust through is one inner fender near firewall. floorboards are pretty solid. rockers and doorposts are good. the bronco came from new mexico;D engine is dead--no biggie there as I am dreaming about a 4bta. well enough about that, here is a picture of it.

don't tell me you drove from Alaska to NM to pick that up?

 

[mlaird]

keep the paint. anyone know what kind of paint scheme that is? is it factory? ive seen a few pics of broncos with that same paint scheme in different colors so it had to be a factory option right?

Either that or more than one person had really bad taste in paint schemes.

Yeah, the paint is ummm, well, yeah I think it needs to go.
And no, i didnt drive it from NM. The PO had bought it in NM and had it shipped up here. Then he had to move, so lucky me. I only trailered it from Anchorage to Kenai.

When I was in high school in the 70's that would have been the paint job to have.

You can put shag carpeting in it if you keep the paint.

That's sooooo retro! I like it!

 

[DonaldDouchebag]

I love the paint!

You just can't fake that rad eighties look, man.

Hey someone stole my paint job plans!! Back in the early eight's I did some sketchings with color pencils of possible paint schemes for my EB. I had one very close to that, only mine was done with differnt shades of blue, starting light and ending dark front to back.. Now that I see the end result of what it could have been%). I'm glad I went with classic white over blue.;D;D.

Good luck with the new ride.

Keep the paint scheme!!

Keep it! It reminds me of the Balloon Chase Broncos

That's rad

 

[nutter3]

Thanks guys. I am pretty happy about it. I couldn't ever decide to tear my 73 apart. I always thought I could rebuild my 68, but its in MT. So now I have no excuses not to do a rebuild.

 

[farnorthdan]

HA! Saw that one on craigs list a while back, wondered what happened to it. Congrats, I'll look for you on the road when u get her up and running.

I like the paint too. Looks good but we need more pictures.

 

[Chief Master Sergeant]

Yeah, I saw that one too. The guy must have taken a huge loss on it. Congrats. You need anything for it?
