Ted Nugent 1966 HalfCab Build Thread

[broncojames]

all iv got to say about Uncle Ted dodging the draft is god bless all the troops who gave their all to give him and so many others the RIGHT to do so and god bless the troops of today and on

Will be interesting to watch the buildup! Can't wait to see what they do to the truck.

Well I wouldnt classify him as a "Hero" of that time. The man has definitely stepped up his game and done a lot for vets, spouses etc. since then. I think he is trying to do what is right an setting good examples with his actions today. If his bronco was done in a military style, I think that is meant as a tribute to the men and women of our armed forces and that would be awesome,it certainly would not reflect on Ted for dodging then. He admitted his wrong and is doing it right 100 fold.

Good example? Was he a good example when this deadbeat had to be dragged into court to force him to pay child support for a child he fathered eight years ago with another woman? How about crazily waving an assault rifle onstage and calling on the president of the United States of America to "suck on it?" Is that a good example?

I'd like for someone to post his apology for draft dodging. I can't find it anywhere on the net and I'd very much like to read it. I've never seen him actually admit that his deferrment to go to college while he was actually busy touring and playing hundreds of dates per year was bogus.

I don't think draft dodging is a "right", dude.

there is an off topic lounge. go there if you want to bicker. this is supposed to be a build thread.

I thought he said he was leaving for the weekend. Go way, you have contradicted yourself more than once just on THIS thread. Sheesh.

Black halfcab, the cut-uncut with the front cutouts back.
If it is to be a farm/work truck, go with the on-board tools.
air, welder, winches, I like the rollbar crane as well. They are handy.
33's and selectable lockers both ends.
Keep the front winch and brushguard simple. Nothing looks worse than a 3/4 ton bumper on a 1/4 ton truck.
BALANCE.

I never said I was leaving for the weekend. I urge you to post any contradictions I've posted.

I've said my peace, though. No need to further elaborate on Mr. Nugent's failings.

Saturday was an AWSOME day for the buildabronco team. "Big Jim", Uncle Ted's man up here in Michigan came to the shop and filmed around the shop. Then I held the camera while Jim drove the Bronco in the shop. Then he filmed while the four of us pulled the body off. Took us about 20 minutes and we rolled the chassis out from under the body. Short clips will be put on "Spirit of the Wild" show on the Outdoor Channel. Not sure when but I will for sure let you guys know.

Ohh and PLEASE help me keep this a build thread. I know he is a very controversial person but an argument about it belongs in the off topic forum.

Now for some more pics.

Did you have ratchet straps holding the windshield up?

 

[buildabronco.com]

No the straps are just to help support the rear of the tub when we pick the body up off the frame. Just posted a video on youtube.

Some pics from yesterday.

Gunmetal Grey with smoke whisps painted into the hood. You can add silouhettes of whatevere the Nuge wants through the smoke.

It is worse that we expected. But it always is right?

 

[Heus33]

Is Ted against a glass body? That would seem to make sense in his case, given his location.

 

[ULLCAJUNS]

How is this one coming along?

 

[buildabronco.com]

We are mostly waiting right now. Getting ready to have big Jim come film us taking the driveline out of the frame, then blasting the frame. We are still in the planning stages for the rest of the build.
