I been working on this for about a year and some months now. I will be posting pic as much as I can.
-
looks great so far, looking forward to following your build.
-
I remember when mine looked like that not long ago. keep up the good work and you be driving it soon
-
Today was the first day I was able drive it out of the garage in about 3 years. So I washed it then but in back in the garage and started finishing up on the ezwiring harness that I started adout this time last year. I will post pic tomorrow sometime. :D
-
I know that felt good didn't it. ;D
-
It has been a little while scenes I've post anything. But I will be starting to work on it again. Thinking about going a new direction for the build. I was thinking about a Raptor style Bronco
-
I think anything Bronco or Raptor is cool. 8)
-
show off, I was going to get one but my paycheck would not allow me to.
-
Yeah it's really a cool truck but the payment's not. :(
I saw on classicbroncos.com that someone else was working on an early bronco with a Raptor looking front grill, it looked kinda cool. There is also a thread on there from a guy who used a wrecked raptor to build a full size Bronco/Raptor and it's awesome.
-
I do have a really good idea about how to mod the grill and i have some spare parts to start with. But right now still working on the tub. I will post pic's when I get home.
Auto body work a lot looks easier on TV. I shaved the fuel filler hole for a cleaner look. Now trying to make a hidden fuel filler
-
this is my 2nd time shaving body parts
-
this is what I am trying to to with the fuel filler
-
That should be kinda cool. Nice work so far.
-
This is what I've done so far
-
I found this exhaust and the fuel filler neck at Pick n pull.
-
that last picture of the fill neck is after I have already modded it to fit my 23 gallon tank

Looking Good, making alot of progress , keep up the good work it will be awesome when you finish it
-
wow alot of work so far, looking great
-
Last night I order a new tailgate and new fenders. I went ahead and spent the money on new parts to cut down on bodywork time.
-
Great pictures, looks like you're really making good progress.
-
More parts showed up today. Thanks to Jeff's Bronco
-
And today right before my parts showed up I made some more storage room in my garage.
-
genius! great idea for storage. My garage is a mess. i was looking at those garage cabinets but they are too $$$! i know where truck tool boxes are $50 used thanks!
-
I had a little time to work on her to day. Installed new passenger side rocker panel. I had to cut about 1/4 inch off the front part of it so the fender would line up. Then I had to separate the top from the bottom and trim a 1/4 inch off both pieces, and weld it back together.
-
When I did the rocker panel I mocked everything up with the new stainless steel door hinges. All that I can say is if you are going to go with the SS hinges, make sure you use a thread chaser before you put the new SS bolts in. As you might have guessed one of the bolts broke of in SS hinge and is now stuck in the door. I will get it out later. I had to use a washer behind both of the hinges on the passenger side and the driver side work out just fine.
When I finish with the other stuff then I started on the driver side door. I cut the door skin off using grinder then I made a little angle tab to replace the rusted one.
-
Sucks about the broken bolt but it looks like you're making great progress.
