Spent the day in the garage working on the core support. Got most of it stripped. Waiting for the new body mounts and fenderwells to get here on monday. Going to figure out how to add some extra support to the core support to stiffin it up. Made up some patches for the front corners.

This is the definition of a "rust-oration". Nice work!

Been very slow going for a while. Being out of town for work and busy with other stuff over the weekends I hope to make more progress and get the fenders on. Its all together with tech screws right now. Waiting on my hardware kit to get here so I can get bolts on it and all gaps set. Then burn some wire.

Having to mod new parts to fit is a pain. The passenger fender is after market and has a big bow in it along the hood line. Having to drill out the spotwelds and bend the fender straight. Debating to replace the driver fender since it's beat up some.

Yup, the inevitable fate of every Bronco owner. Resistance is futile.

My buddy keeps trying to talk me into pulling the body off the frame. I would I just don't have the room for it.

Nice slow progress on this. All the new metal up front is welded. Almost ready to pull the doors and start that process. Need to replace/repair the windshield frame.
