Project 150 is underway

[Lt1Burb]

I So I rolled my wife's bronco into the garage at the end of December to start on it. I told myself I am not taking the body off the frame because I did not want to do a rotisserie restoration. Well, then I couldn't get the body mounts off, so I thought, let me just lift the body off, replace the mounts, and put it back together. Well the rest is history, the 150 is my goal from start to finish, I am running into back orders but hopefully wont screw me.

Waiting on a door and taillight housing so started to clean up frame.

You went Deep! But you are doing it right, the 1st time.

Good luck with BO parts, I am feeling your pain, since November!

Looks awesome!

 

[gnsteam]

Your off to a great start. I will be watching.

Well, almost 60 days in on 150 and finally got the passenger taillight housing so now all the metal work is done. Frame is at sandblaster so I can start on it when t comes back. I don't want to do body work until it is back on frame. I gotta decide if I want to send body to have the old paint stripped or suffer greatly and do it here. Couldn't get 68 up doors so settled for 66-67 doors and modified them, it was super easy, doors are great quality.

Love all the extra work I was gifted from p/o, decided to plug 2 more holes.

Fender fitment sucked at first and I ended up drilling spotwelds out of front brackets, repositioned them and they fit much better.

Looking great. I like the grafted in '77 door on the new quarter panel! What is the meaning behind 150?

Nice work! I think the 150 is 150 Days...

OK, now I feel stupid. I see now 150 from start to finish.

 

[omureebe]

He's only like 20 days in??? Crap - I better do SOMETHING! Very impressive! I did the fuel door relocation mod - totally belongs where you have it.

 

[stupidboy]

Last I read he was 60 days in.

 

[Lt1Burb]

Thx guy, yes 60 days in, I am currently painfully sanding the engine compartment and underneath. I want to raptor liner underneath and put it back on frame so I can finish bodywork.

sure looks like you took the hard way to do body mounts. Many a Bronco rusto project just started with a little repair project. I feel your wallet is getting lighter by the minute.

Oh yeah, its just metal. If it doesn't fit make it fit. What rotisserie are you using?
