 8 Years later, off to paintStarted this project with my father in June 2005 after I returned from being stationed in England. I was pretty naive about broncos back then, so it cost me more than it should have, but its finally off to paint in Ohio. Going with Deep Cherry Crystal Pearl and white flares/top.

Re: 8 Years later, off to paint The original paint job looks very similar to the first Bronco I ever remember seeing, back in Alaska in 98. That was the one that gave me the Bronco bug.

Re: 8 Years later, off to paint Getting fitted prior to paint prep. There is a gap at the rear of the driver door from the rocker pushing the qtr panel back too far. So he is going to cut/weld both rear rockers and eliminate the seam. Other than that, looking good.

Re: 8 Years later, off to paint Checking gaps? That sounds like a professional move.

Re: 8 Years later, off to paint Went with the Dodge Deep Cherry Red Crystal Pearl. For the longest time I planned on Burnt Orange, but love this color. White flares and top, Argent grey grill. My father installed hood vent support by cutting out original hood vents and mounting under cutout.

Re: 8 Years later, off to paint Thanks, think the hood pic had 3 coats of color and 3 more to go.
They are going to put a fine coat of rock guard on the top of the top and the dash. Hard to tell but the inside of the hood is lined with rock guard under as well. You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post. |

Re: 8 Years later, off to paint Here is a couple more. Top goes on and then all the tedious but expensive little things need to be done.
Alex, had to part ways with the White one after I retired from the Military. Had 3 broncos, 2 projects and one complete. When projects sell, they seem to always lose money so I sold the complete on. Hated to sell it because the paint was amazing. After all the work, I've learned to never sell again. I'm keeping this one and the half cab project I have too.

Re: 8 Years later, off to paint Your guy in Ohio does really nice work !
Have you considered moving the rear axle back an 1" to center it better in the wheel well ? _________________ 1977 Sport, 351w OBDII EFI motor, 4R70W auto, 4:88 gears, ARB lockers, 3.5" suspension, 33" tires. |

Re: 8 Years later, off to paint I noticed that rear wheel too. They make bolt on kits to move it back 1". It will be on my list to move further back.

Re: 8 Years later, off to paint You also have the option of re-drilling the spring perch and upper plate.
