migs Bronco Barn - a chronicle of what's happening at the new place

[tasker]

At Migs place today....cannot wait for the blessed union! Always a great day hanging out with great friends.....I am truly blessed!

Yes, Tasker brought his new acquisition over today.... She's a beaut Clark!
We were able to hoist it up off the trailer with the two post lift and set it down onto an extra chassis for the time being. We dove right in to some disassembly with the crushed and rusted roof the first item to go.

We then managed to remove the doors, front clip and a few other odds and ends. I'll strip it down to the bare tub and clean it up so i can then really sit down and ponder all the ideas in my head and determine the ultimate plan of attack.
For now, here is how it currently sits.

Restoring the siren?

This is the first I’ve seen this thread… I like all the pics, that’s how I read.

So that looks like a really old Kentrol tub. With the non functional tailgate. What are your plans with it? Going back to what "Paid For" was before or is it going a different direction?

 

[tasker]

I WAS THINKING Mallotte? but maybe a Kentrol.....my newer Kentrol tub is much more detailed. Pretty much the same look with a few tweaks....Migs rebuilt everything under it last year

I never heard of that one but I guess thats another option. I worked on one once that was an old Kentrol and it looked similar. The most important part is there is no rust!!

It doesn't look like my Kentol tub either.

try a diff one, why not But there's always, working w/the devil you know

 

[migs]

Stripped most everything off and wheeled it outside to pressure wash so then I can truly assess it.

 

[tasker]

She is mint!!

 

[fatboy]

Plan to cut a tailgate in?

 

[tasker]

probably not Pete, was telling Brian that I had to think how many times I actually used my other one

 

[migs]

Well... I guess I lied several pages back. I think we new this day was coming sooner or later......again



Feels like I righted a wrong. I don't know why I keep doing it, maybe it's time to sell that top before it tries to convince me to do it again.

Thanks!
In 1969 and 1970 ford called it “New Lime” paint code “2”
The white parts on the outside I did in Wimbledon white, while the interior pieces and roll bar are parchment.

And back in the sun again without that pesky hard top! Supposed to be in the mid 80’s here the next couple of days
