I do want to do the chevy disk conversion soon and then an nv3550.
I also want to eventually paint it back to that orignal green.

Is it sad that I don't tire of looking at pics of random Bronco parts? Very nice rig you have there. Interesting patch on the passenger front fender well.

Yea! Its parked at the car wash on snowy range rd right around the corner from me. Its super clean but the interior is toast. He's asking $65 but says hes flexible. Let me know If you come up here we could get together. I'm in the market for some parts too if theres anything you have kicking around.

I still haven't figured out what the deal with that is. Some poor welding that's all I can tell.

There are a ton of cool custom adds - love the engine tool box, radio, and side interior tire mount. Thanks for posting up a bunch of pics - looks like a real clean Bronco. Welcome to the club!

Some may like this some may not, I understand.....
Although I don't have the resources here to do a paint job the right way, I just couldn't take that scratched up semigloss black and silver mess anymore.
Its temporary and looks ok.....

The top is the original, Bottom is new. Not a bad match for a rattle can from ACE right off the shelf...

Its frustrating with the wind here but its slowly coming along.

Rattle can does work for a temporary fix, but the sun tears it up pretty fast. Looks like you got a great match...but I am colorblind.

Don't they make a clear coat in rattle can? I wonder if that would help with the sun. Might get a little longer out of it.

Just wondered as I saw one as a young lad that was souped up, nice wheels, dropped etc and I thought it was cool if only for it's uniqueness.
