Did you happen to articulate the truck just to see how high the rear tires would go?

Yea Brian, I sat on the corner of the tailgate and took a look. It just barely misses rubbing the tire.:D

Trophybass and Smokeater came by the house today. I gave them some free stuff. You were not with them so you didn't get anything.;)

Like Bax said I got to see it first hand today and it looks great. Bax has done a hell of a job and once it's all smoothed out and painted most people won't even know anything was ever done. Thanks again for the goodies Bax, they will all get put to use.

How close is the wheel opening compared to the front? (the distance from the body line to the opening) Could you have gone higher in the rear, or would it have shown to much of the inner fender? Those pic's of the whole Bronco look really sweet, I am very envious keep up with the pic's.

Shawn, the opening could of gone up more however with the front detail coming up so straight it would of shown lots of the inner fender. I didn't want that. For some the cut will not be high enough. For wheeling in fla I think it will work out fine. If not there is always a 5'' lift

Thanks

I totally love the way it looks right now, and I agree I don't think I would want to show to much inner fender either. I was curious if there was more room, you have done a lot of work already and it's coming along great, wish I was close enough to you to have a closer in person viewing. What's next?

Question - if anyone made these panels, do you think they would sell? Think of the cost a little higher than a replacement QT panel.
Bax

Man, I'd go for a set of these in the aftermarket, they would look great especially on a street rig that you want to run big meats on or even a mild off roader. They look great, one of the best things I've seen fabbed that truly tries to keep the originality of the EB in mind.

I didn't know your suspension was that soft that you sitting on the tailgate would articulate THAT much...:eek: :eek: :-*

Yeah, some of us had to go to the office...And what is with alex wussing out...can't get the axle out of his truck by himself :cool: ;D ;D I will get with you sooner or later.

Ok final set of pictures and then we will let it this thread go until final paint.
I did most of the body work. I suck at body work so a friend of mine will finish it when it is time. I am sure he can make it look great. Its not bad now but is not good enough. More pictures back in primer. Tail light detail turned out good IMO.
Thanks for all the replys and intrest on this. it kept me going.
