Finally going to paint. had to get everything finished in the mod aspect and get it all sanded down and primed.
1.Installed new 17" rims and 35" Toyo Open Country Mud Terrain Tires
2.Got the inserts all modded up to put in or take out without scratching too much paint.
3.Dash is all put together (pic doesn't show the Tuffy glove box or the switch panel I had made)
4.The switch panel was powder coated and laser etched. Also got some angled trim rings for my new Autometer gauges.
5.Finally got the steering column put in with the new steering wheel

The interior isn't going to get painted as it will be going to get Linex after paint.

It's taken a little over a year, but I see this thing going down the road maybe come March/April..


I'll start a build thread while it's in the paint booth.. I can remember when the frame was in the bed of my truck going to get sand blasted.

The Arizona Classic Bronco Stampede is in late March. It would be a great place to show it off with great weather.

That is going to be right around the time my twins are due.. I would imagine my wife is going to keep me around the house. But it does sound like fun..

It's an ididit steering column.. So far I like it alot and have not had any problems with it. The only complaint I have and probably the same as any other ones available for the bronco is that you have to pull the column to get the dash on and off.

The big step forward was Thanksgiving weekend when it got paint and a new cage. There's a thread on here around page 9.

I wish my weekend was three weeks long.. I just saw the question on the steering column and answered it..
