"The Racing Bronco" Restoration

[bbolander]

Boy, it's really looking great Brian. And thanks for the thread with all the history and progress steps, certainly one of the most interesting threads on here. You're right in not posting any more, there's still a lot of pieces to put together - we can all get our finished product pictures at the show!

I'm sure looking forward to seeing it and meeting you and your family. What a great job, and I'm sure it's been a great family bonding experience too.

Nothing like dragging things out to the very end, but within the hour we should be loading the Bronco. We spent the day today finishing up a few last minute detail and put fire in the hole (it did start). Tomarrow we may do a few more little bits and pieces, but if those things don't get done no big deal.
Look forward to see everybody at the show.

Excellent news, Brian! Glad to hear you're going to make it. You're not alone working the last minute details...

i think it's funny and cool how everybody goes bezerk when someone finds a vintage bronco picture, but if it's a old jeep pic it's just another jeep!

Ok, I decided that I would go against what i said before and post one finished picture, I hope you enjoy.
Brian
Ok I'll post two

 

[My69Pony]

Man, I can't believe nobody commented on the finished product. ;D Just kidding, I'll have some finished pictures posted as soon as the show is over, or maybe even during the show.
We should be leaving home at or before 9am tomorrow (Friday) with an overnight stop in Primm, NV. I'm really looking forward to getting there and be able to breathe a bit of relief.
Hope everybody that is planning to attend stops by to say hello. I've been told that the best way to see everything is to hang out right at the vehicle entrance, then as soon as they allow the vehicles into the show, watch all the participants drive in. I'm pretty sure that is what we will be doing, so as soon as all the vehicles have passed through the entry point I'm planning on heading back to where the Bronco is set-up, getting my chair out and just enjoy the passerby’s.
Hope to meet a lot of you there, have a safe trip if you are coming,
Brian

LOL, tease cause he can.

Well the show is over and we are on the way back to Utah. I just thought I'd post a few pictures and make some comments latter. I do have to say that it was great to meet those that stopped by to say hello and for those that didn't say hello, I hope to meet you another time.
Bruce, thanks for all your efforts, you put together a great display and we were proud to be a part of it.

Here are just a few quick pictures of the finished product.

Brian, my dad and I enjoyed meeting and speking with you yesterday.

Its really cool to see another family Bronco project. Especially when is it to preserve a cool piece of Bronco history like you have!

 

[BajaBronco]

Brian, Great job getting it done and there. Thanks for posting pics too as I wasn't able to attend! So glad this Bronco is in good hands and now restored as it is such a big part of EB history, IMO.

Just read the entire thread and I must say, you guys did a great job! Really enjoyed the story and the history. My best bud John from Norcal said he really enjoyed meeting and chatting it up with you guys at FFF.

Great job Brian and your family! It looked even better than in the pictures! I had a great time hanging out and talking with you, your dad and your family most of the day and just looking at it - couldn't get enough of that. There was a big crowd around it all day long looking at it and hearing you tell about it. I'm hope you're getting some well deserved rest now!

Final count was 132 out of 138 registered, plus Big Oly who doesn't register so that makes it 133. An awesome turnout. Usually we have at least 10% no shows, sometimes more. Turned out to be a great 45th Anniversary Event!
