Do they come with a half cab top also?

No, I think they did some custom cutting on that one, looks real good.

What's that sitting on the passenger fender? Is it supposed to be an overflow tank? I need to paint it but I don't know what it is.

Yes the thing on right fender should look like plastic/whitish clear overflow res.

What no explorer serp?

Nice/

Those ribs in it make me think it is the computer module on later model Bronco's I dunno!

This one is staying stock. I may be sorry down the road but I can always do an explorer swap. I'm hoping to get the carpet in tomorrow and get the top buffed out...........

That's what I thought at first but it's in the wrong place and kinda big for a Duraspark box. I made an overflow tank out of it. Just gotta put a cap on it.....

Maybe we have finally identified the illusive Thing-a-ma-jig!!!
But probably just another do-hickey!;D

How and the heck did you find those? That's great, someone is making after market parts already. I am looking for another rim and tire to use as a spare instead of that cover looking thing.

I've been slowly putting mine together. Gonna build it to look like mine when I first got it. Used. Primer here and there. A little rust and dull chrome.

Thanks! I'm working on door panels tonight. Trying to get the woodgrain looking right.

Have you guys had your glue eat through the paint? I think I might try a different one.

 

[West Tn Dawg]

You guys are GOOD!!!!!!

Yes. I am using Testors 3507. I have to be careful where I put it.

I also had my paint etching the body. Had to strip it, prime it, and repaint.

What do you mean by paint etching the body?

It was eating into it in spots. I painted it with PPG auto paint with reducer and hardener in it. Same stuff I use on the Bronco. I ended up with a splotchy finish with a matte finish in places.There was something it didn't like. Had to start over on it.....

 

[CopperRanger]

I just finished painting my body the other day with a custom mix rattle can I had made up the same color as my Bronco. It is 6 years old, I bought it for painting both my gas caps and it still worked great, body turned out good. I glued on the spare tire rack corners before I painted the body because I didn't want to make a mess afterword's but there is still a lot to do.
