I have doubts about the Bronco being there, much less cutouts!

It'll be a while before I can even work on it much.

None at all, and I have others lined up before it!

I've been rummaging through episodes trying to find more clues, and I've got a couple more.

First, the tailgate spare tire carrier. It's visible in at least two episodes, but the spare was usually mounted to the bulkhead so it was just the brackets. This was an option, and the Bronco we have came with it per the Marti.

Second, there is a little Phillips head screw on the driver's seat platform, just rear and above where the Ford logo decal would be. In the show, there appears to be that same screw.

Oddly enough, I discovered that during the 68's first appearance in season 4 it was still uncut! It didn't return until season 5 and it was cut.

Awesome find!!!
So the big question......staying cut or going to return to uncut in the future???

I debated this in my mind, but since it was cut for most of it's film life the rear will stay cut. This is entirely against what I would normally do, but I'm going screen accurate.

Now you just have to figure out the purpose of that screw!
