I slipped some 9/32", .030" wall stainless tubes inside the plastic to prevent the plastic from crushing under the compression fittings.

Do you have a good source for that?

Nice. Did you do any repair work on it?

Wimbelton white going on it?

Phil had welded in a patch for the radio cut out. It took a little filler and bumping to get it flat, but not much.

Its getting painted 1976 "W" code, Medium Green Glow. The whole truck will be that color. The dash was this color originally, and has the "Ranger" emblem on the glove box.

So no roll cage in front of the glove box?

Roll cage in an uncut truck? I don't think this one is destined for wheeling. Or at least the level that would require a cage. Could be wrong.

Digger's plates?

Or a different brilliant solution?

Low tech solution.

Stock radio look or radioless on the dash?

No radio in the dash. I prefer the hum of 300 horses pushing 34" tires.

I like it. Bruce Banner on the other hand, not his favorite color.

If Bruce Banner is already taken, I think Bruce Jenner recently became available.

Phil for the win!

Grill primed.

Yes that's a Bronco door behind the grill. It's not Phil's, it's a customer's. Typical "it's ready for paint" job. "It's ready for paint." = "It needs tons of body work, that I don't expect to have to pay for."

Gunny - you do some amazing work and that color is beautiful.

Post by **Gunnibronco** » Sat Dec 26, 2015 8:49 am

Thanks for the compliment.

The green color is cool, everyone who has seen it, in person, really likes it. Its funny how many different colors Broncos came in. All those 'odd' 60's & 70's colors have been repainted, now. So many red & blue Broncos.

To ALL those involved in Viper's Build, AMAZING!!!!

I was fortunate enough to see this in person last weekend and even heard it run. It truly is stunning! It obviously looks really nice in the pics...10 x nicer in person!

Every detail gone over with a fine tooth comb and put into it's rightful place. No stone un-turned.
Just the Best of the Best, truly awesome!

To everyone that has contributed, is currently working on it, or will at some point have their hands on it, Hats Off!

Thank you for taking the time to chit chat and go over some of the finer points with me (on yours and mine)- You're Awesome and again, I thank you!

Thanks Mike. Like I said, it wouldn't be nearly as far along or as nice without the help of many good Bronco people. Thanks everyone.

Here is the latest progress report. Dash is installed without a scratch. Still have a few things to connect and wiring to tidy up but it's a big step to see some color on it.
