What year is the rig? Is that a 66 Grill?

1968. the grill had been changed at one time. The bronco was in a front end crash at one time. lots of stuff to have fun moving back into place. The grill is one with the big marker lights but I put small ones in it like a 68 should have.

I personally dont think there is a great soft top being made for an EB right now. I was not impressed with the best top but it's better than some. I think it looks loose too but it is as tight as it will go.

Nice work Bax! What are you thinking on your next project?

Well Lane you sold it!!!! I was trying to get done but I just finished a week too late. I know you and I talked about it when I was in GA. but money talks and I had to keep quite. Not sure what is next. The racier has a broke front end. i will fix that and perhaps a rewire is in order. Some better sheet-metal, a good floor, a few added bars and mount the fiberglass panels. I thin that will be a good start while I look for something. I may build my wife a nice street roadster. even if its not a u13

Sorry about that, but it was time for it to go. Festus is getting some new parts if it makes you feel better. LOL.

Sounds like you got plenty to do. Get the racer fixed, the Albany ride will be here before you know it.

She is gone and paid for. Whoo Hoo. the owner absolutely loved it. He looked all over it, crawled under it, looked under the hood. Took it for a drive. Came back with a huge smile on his face. About this time his wife and 13 yr old son and 15 yr old daughter pulled up. The kids hopped out of the car and ran to the bronco. The boy turned to his dad and shouted "It's ausome Dad" Big high five and turned and jumped in the truck. "Take us for a ride Dad!" They were gone for about 20 min. as I put the straps and ramps away. They all had big smiles on their faces when they pulled up. The owner parked it, got out and shook my hand, thanked me, and told me it's better than he ever dreamed it would be. I drove away feeling really good. So close the book on this one. Time to find another.

Post some more pictures of the dash/cage area. I always like seeing how guys tie the cage through the dash. Did you take the cage hoop to the frame?
