Thanks guys. Here are a few shots I took of it in the sun that really makes it shine:

I want to get the new stripes on it, but I think it looks kinda cool with the faded stripes as it is for now. Problem is that I waxed her up real good and will need to strip the wax and use a heat gun to get the old stripes off before installing the new ones....... not a project I want to take time for now as I am having too much fun driving it around. Maybe before Super Celebration in April should be my goal.


Man that really cleaned up nice. Replace the stripes and that thing would look new.;D

Very nice Mac2Night.:cool::cool: What did you use to buff it out? Sure made a big difference. What a good find, sound like your enjoying it.

I just used a Meguiar's Ultimate Compound (all hand applied as I don't have a buffer), wiped it off with a microfiber towel and then applied Meguiar's Cleaner Wax (not their best stuff but it works well IMO for a daily driver).

Needing some touch up work on the top (couple of places the size of a half dollar that paint is peeled off) before I wax the full top.

Finally found my darn wheel spacers. Scouring the internet looking for 1" spacers 5x5.5 to 5x5.5, took me two weeks to chase em down. $66 to my door. I'll be selling a pair of 2" spacers with metric studs if anyone is interested.

Not to it, but I used to to jump the neighbor. Finally met her after living here for 5 years...yes there were jumper cables involved, no it wasn't the fun kind of jump :)

Finished an aluminum tunnel cover after having to hack it for the ZF shifter. Had some damaged material from a jobsite as the "donor" material. Note the louvers that were cut into the original cover. I kinda like em.

One company's trash = my Bronco fixin treasure!

Finished my tunnel cover over the ZF and NP205. I made it from a piece of 3/16" aluminum sheet. I think it turned out great and matched the other accents in the interior.

Just placed an order to JBG for a passenger side mirror, grill FORD decal and new ignition cylinder (key is not turning smoothly).

Also anxiously awaiting FEDEX delivery of my new tan Tuffy console that I hope to get and install over the weekend. ;D

Drove it for the first time since October. Been too busy working on other stuff to enjoy it.

Yesterday I mounted my new bumpers (stock chrome). Today I mounted two hella off road lights on the front bumper. Still need to wire it up though. Waiting for my leaf springs to get here and it will be back on the road this weekend.
