That build is documented well. Have you or are you going to send the story to Bronco Driver? That would be a good story to tell. I like the way you did the pics on your site, they are easy to click on and you dont have to keep moving around.

Thanks -- once it's all finished, I'll probably shoot them a few pics. The guy who is doing it is not cutting any corners and I think it's going to be something special when it's done. Thanks for the feedback! Scott

Here's a few more shots from today. The body is REAL straight, all the seam sealer is in and she's starting to take some base coat. There might actually be an end to this tunnel. Thanks again to Broncow for all the help and support on this thing!!!! and the mexican food ain't bad either! ;D

Looks awesome!! You are definitely seeing light at the end of the tunnel. I don't even think I'm in the tunnel yet. Anyway, what type of seam sealer did you use? I take it you applied it with a caulking gun, right?

Here's a few update pics. Bed liner has been sprayed on the bottom, and starting to see what the color will look like with a quick shot on a few pieces. Tub should go on the chassis within a week or so.

* Note - disregard date on photos - the camera was set wrong - it only SEEMS like it's been that long ago! ;D

I'm liking that color. I wasn't so sure how it'd look on a Bronco. You have vision, my friend. ;D

He's doing some super nice work. I especially dig the smooth job he did on the gas filler door recess. Amazing.

Yeah, I think that color is going to be exactly what I was looking for. It's hard to appreciate it with a flash camera indoors! He really is doing some exceptional work on every little detail.

Here's a "series" of shots for the gas filler door to give you an idea of what it takes. I wish I had the patience to do that sort of thing!

Thanks for all the good comments -- it's taking longer than expected, but I think it's going to be something special when it's done.

Body is Finally Back on Chassis!

OK fellas -- the body is back in place and I can see how the lift is going to look with the uncut fenders and my tire selection. I think it's just about right -- what do you guys think??

I can't wait to see this thing finished. It looks amazing. I think you need to get away from the computer and back to work on the Bronco. Get it done for us all. BTW stance looks perfect with the uncut fenders. Great looking truck!

Looking good coach, My bronco (well most of it) was my grandfathers too. He bought it new in 73. It was my first car at 16. I drove it daily for about fifteen years and is now my toy. I couldn't refrain from making some mods to it that he might frown at, but still think of him every time I drive it. I have alot of memories in it riding around with him as kid.
