Looking for pictures of stock painted Broncos. Oxidized and/or faded- Great.
If you've repainted in original color codes, I'd be interested in seeing those too.
Thanks in advance.

Heres a couple of my sons '76 Ranger/Explorer. I believe its medium orange. Also shows the original graphics
The first two are the day we picked it up. The last one was taken last month at the local car show.

So ya just wetsanded it huh? I got to get me some of that sand paper. ;)

wet sand, rubbing compound and some good old wax will do wonders to the paint.. just make sure you dont over do it. looks like ford was trying to save some money on mine and did 3/4 of 1 coat hahahahah

hey Scoop I beleive my 73 Ranger is the same color. I'm wondering did you get the Ranger decals from Bronchitis?? Were they a pain to put on??

Nice rig.

Although the stripes look pretty good in the pic, they are the original ones and they are cracked and crazed if you look at them close up.

Actually I do have a set of stripes from Broncitis but I haven't put them on yet. Right now I am not sure if I'll keep it as a survivor and not paint/restripe or do a more in depth restoration. It's in pretty good shape with almost no rust.

Since there are some compound curves that need to fit right I was going to have a professional decaler do mine. My vinyl skills are not that good!

If you ever decide to get rid of the decals could you let me know???
Thanks.
