Those K bar S Broncos rock even more today as they did in the day. Thanks John, Hal Kenny, Patti and there crew. Fast and Loud!

 

[Skiddy]

Heck yeah very cool

That's slick.

Do you eventually clear coat over the hand lettering or leave it as is?

 

[JGbronc]

Very nice! Love it!

So is this an authentic K Bar S build? Not that I care if it isn’t, I’m just curious if this is one of the missing ones.

 

[markatherton]

It is an authentic k bar s. Not sure if it is one of the missing ones. It is a 68. I have had it so long I can't even remember what the original color was. We painted it candy apple red. It was probably painted 7 or 8 years ago.

Was this “Caballo Loco”? I’m not sure what year it was, but it had a 351C back in the day and was about the same color. That’s one of the missing ones.

Mike Karp’s orange and black 73 is another one that hasn’t surfaced, at least in its previous form.

That flat out looks bitchin'!

Very cool, hand painting and pin stripping is becoming a Lost art

Does this one have the “powered by Ford” on the front fenders??
Truck is looking great!!!

 

[markatherton]

Todd is coming back next week to do the front fenders "Powered by Ford".

 

[markatherton]

Probably will not clear over the lettering. It is acrylic enamel painted over base/clearcoat. It can be cleared over, but very carefully after significant drying time, but I kinda like, that it shows hand painting.

 

[svastano]

Looks Great! Can't wait to see the finished product!

 

[nickgp]

That’s just sweet! Sure do miss that shop.
