Mazama Father/Son Build '66 (copious amounts of bodywork)

[Old Bronco Guy]

Yes, I will miss all of it...lunch too, stopped by today and folded a coupla more 'Tacos' into our favorite Bronco. Enjoying this summer with Kurt has shown us both many things. Retirement has it's rewards. Life experiences as well!

I can wait for it but I hope when I'm retired that my son and I can do something like that.

....the history of our family's ownership and enjoyment of this Bronco (both Kurt and I have owned it previously) has been stated earlier in this thread. We have had discussions previously as to build schedule, outsourcing phases of the project and yes even skill sets needed for the build. Our time and relationship together remain most paramount. Stupidboy, thank you for your comments.

Got a rotisserie. Let the bodywork begin. Scraping the undercoating off and then I'm going to blast the tub behind my shop. I have a lot of stuff to finish before winter sets in.

 

[kurtboyd]

Blasted my frame today. Also did my roll cage. Going to do body stuff tomorrow.

 

[kurtboyd]

Blasted my tub, top, grill, liftgate frame, windshield frame, etc today. Went through 27 bags of 70 mesh. 100lbs each. Shooting primer tomorrow.

Wow this is an awesome build! Honestly I Just cant believe how cool this is from the family history of the Bronco right up to the Freshly Blasted parts. I love it! Thanks for sharing it.

27 BAGS!? Where did it all go?

 

[kurtboyd]

I blasted everything out behind my shop. The sand is on the ground. Cleaning up this morning. My painter is going to be here at noon to shoot primer on everything. Going to POR15 the frame.

Great build so far! For the frame, POR works best on rust. I know it sounds crazy but I would water it down and let it at least flash rust for a few days.
You could also use an epoxy primer on it.

 

[kurtboyd]

Sprayed epoxy primer today.

 

[kurtboyd]

Painted the frame today. Turned out nice.

A hot chick stopped by the shop today and helped out. Not many guys can say their wife painted their extended radius arms.

Hahaha...In that second pic at first glance It thought there was a dead moose in the background. It is hunting season

 

[kurtboyd]

Got the front end back underneath the chassis today.

 

[kurtboyd]

I have a rolling chassis again. Getting ready to spray tintable bed liner on the bottom of the tub and bolt it down to the chassis for mock-up. Need to finsh applying seam sealer first. Hope to have the bed liner sprayed by the end of the weekend.

 

[kurtboyd]

Sprayed SEM tintable bed liner on the bottom of the tub today. Ford Grabber Blue.

 

[kurtboyd]

Shrink wrapped the chassis to prevent overspray during painting and got the body back on. Rock sliders are here. Glass hood and fenders from WCB are on the way. Moving the rig for paint on Friday. Looks like I'm going to have to buy new door shells. Haven't been able to find any decent used ones and mine are pretty much toast.
