viva bronco

Thought I would post up pictures of the Viva Race Bronco; Drivetrain and chassis are complete except for shocks and driveshafts; Entire tub has been raptor lined; Will paint the truck last. Ready to take it to Steve and Jeremy Spirkoff for the cage and tube chassis in engine bay; Still to do...wiring and dash/gauges; harnesses, radiator and tranny cooler; Tires; Mark in San Diego, Beach City Broncos.

Very cool. Is that the actual race bronco or are you just building a tribute to it?

I see Via is selling Bronco parts and things again.

So true Mark, Restoring old Racers isn't easy at all - they are so hammered. Great progress tho!!

That’s going to be a great addition to the Broncos of NORRA. Sounds like a calendar shot to me
