Went home and took pictures. My dad has been busy with the body work, and it shows pretty well in the pictures. Theres still a little more to do, but we are gettin a lot closer. The passenger side still needs a lot of work, but we havent gotten that far yet. I also took some shots of the brake lines he bent. All stainless with the stainless braided hoses from Toms.

Coming along very nicely... keep the pics comin..

Heres the front end. It was hard to show what he did without climbin under the truck and gettin covered in dust. He got the lines wrapped really closley to everything to make it look clean.

Thanks, I will post some more later. Im not comin home until Christmas break, so there should be a lot more to see.

Are the pictures in primer before the yellow or are you re-painging it?

 

[Bitch'nBronco]

We havent painted it yellow yet, just the engine bay. It was a lot easier to paint it when the engine wasnt in there and it was on saw horses, so we painted it then. He just re-primed it when I came home. It was oxford white earlier, but then he decided it needed to be blocked more and then he primed it again. Yellow is coming when I go home for Christmas

That will be a nice Christmas present!

I wanna see some more pictures when you get back home! Are you getting close?

Your rig is going to look very nice once it's all done.

What size of tires and how much lift do you have for it, I see 3.5 suspension, any body?

 

[Bitch'nBronco]

Im goin with the 3.5"lift,33" Dick Cepeck FCII's on M/T Classic II's, and Im gonna do a 1" body lift to fit the HEI distibutor/air cleaner under the hood. I will post some pics tomorrow if I get around to it. I am sooo close to paint, my goal is to have it painted before I leave. We got busy and progress got slowed down a little, but now we're hittin it pretty hard. Oh yah, got some hood shocks from WH fer christmas this mornin!

Hey if I remember, you promised more pics!!! Get it going man!!!! ;D

 

[Bitch'nBronco]

I know Ill take some tomorrow before I get started. I put a good 6 hours into block sanding and tying up other odds and ends on the bronco today and I forgot to take some pictures. Sorry

Pictures

laid some primer down to see where we were at. We were havin a hard time seein the highs and lows and the fresh primer helps to show all that. Windshield frame is coming along nicely but we still have a lot of blocking to do on the passenger side, but the driver side is done

 

[Bitch'nBronco]

Made a ton of progress yesterday. We blocked all day and then we took the top off to prime. We masked it all and primed it all up. Still have just a little more to do before we send it out to paint (decided to have someone else do it, because out compressor is too small, and its easier to have someone do it in a booth). We put the top and the windshield back on and I really wanted to put the wheels and tires on. So here's the pics

Looking good John! Can't wait to see it paint.

 

[Bitch'nBronco]

Thanks! We're gettin closer to paint, Im gonna try to have it done tomorrow, and try to schedule some booth time in.
