D&D72 ....

Post by D&D72 »

Picked up my 72 a couple months ago. So far I replaced the main gas tank, rebuilt the stock 2bbl and have just been driving it. I have picked up some needed parts from 777mech and zillacon thanks to both of you! No resto planned but, mods as I can with what I got. Looking forward to meeting people in this fine establishment!

Are you located on Paris st in Henderson? I put a card in the door of a Bronco that looks just like that.

It actually was electric with the cable controls in the cab. I still have it as well as the bumper.
I may see about repairing the the old WARN winch and modify the old bumper to be stronger. it has some
weak points that are cracked. But, until I make this more capable, I don't have much need for the winch for now.

So after much waiting.... waiting and more waiting the bronco is finally back from paint. I have a lot of work to do putting it back together. the doors and fenders are hung temporarily for the transport home. overall its looking pretty good. The 5.0 I salvaged from a 97 explorer is a roller with GT40 heads. everthing was saved from the explorer and I will use the explorer computer and harness. Garry (EFIguy) is taking care of the upgrades for me. I also have a viper c-4 and d20 with all the goodies and a column I snagged from kinder. so, after a trip to the hut tomorrow the fun begins.

I have no real time line for the EFI portion. Right now I just want to get the body back together and drive around a bit. Tomorrow I'm going to the Hut to pick up my new bumper and weather stripping.

I'm working this weekend too Rob. But, your always welcome to stop by. usually home by 3.
got all the weather stripping and a few other things today. putting the grill and doors back together. Also picked up a protofab rock solid rear bumper. was thinking of powder coating it but maybe just paint it instead. any thoughts on that?

X2 - can't touchup powercoat. Now if you're mall crawlin' it, then you might get away with PC.

Have a look at the hammered paints. Adds a little texture along with color.
