Awesome rig. It made the cut on my “worth taking a picture of” list.

WOW, gorgeous!! My dad would have loved it too, he was all about some black on good looking cars/trucks/Broncos. Does Tim Mitchell have a shop around close? I know you did most of the work but he did a great job on paint and body. What's funny is that Bronco looks better than the day it rolled off the assembly line. Great job

Thank you, Tim! You should ride over and see it in person sometime, if you can make the drive! ;D

He is in Pisgah and only does it part time. His main job is construction/remodeling. When he gets some spare time he works on vehicles. He's working on my '66 U13 now. It's low mileage and will be driven some, so I didn't want a frame-off. Just a good paint job and refreshing here and there.

Yeah, but then it turns into new this, new that and it'll be like the black one. A trailer queen! I did not want to remove the body mounts, etc. that only have 14k miles on them either.

Yes it's the original color, but Arcadian Blue.

IDK it's so far lol

And I've seen the sign for his shop. My wife had a prom on the bluff at Pisgah the weekend before Super Cell and I noticed it because it was "Tim's Body Shop"or something close and it just caught my eye because of the Tim.

I may have to give him a call, If I can find someone reasonable to just shoot my tub I might do it. It doesn't have to be like y'alls "NightMare" just like your 66 I guess, a driver.
