New tub territory?

[joshua]

The front door pillars, I think they are called the (A) pillars are in good shape. But the kick panels they attached to are toast. Everything behind the (B) pillars is pretty good looking. But only looks that way as every pinch well is basically swelled to about a half inch wide. Making patching pointless.

I’m not fabricator guy at all but the other tub sold before I could work out a deal. So I guess just patch it up until I find something better lol

This is my concern…. I have had this bronco since my teens, I’m 46 now. Sentimental thoughts are nice. But money is money.

and time, buy the tub, be done

I think that’s the plan. I’ll just keep working until I find something. Or whenever spring comes sell the 57 tri 5 I picked up a couple of years and buy a new production one. Unit then I guess it’s practice for me.

Side thought. Should I try and sell this tub? I hate to scrap it.

If you have had this Bronco since your teens, how did it get in this shape?

It was always rough. It was just well hidden from a dumb kid. I live in Minnesota nothing that’s lived here since 68 survives. I drove it for 7 years (3 winters) 97-99. Parked in a garage from 2005 to 2019 then the driveway for a couple of years, until I think I pushed it back in the garage in 2022
