Well I finished off the last of the passenger side today. Borrowed the brake from Dan and bent up the patch. Came out pretty good. Only thing left is to drill the holes for the seat and body bolts.

Glad to hear its in the process. It looks like the repairs are coming along nicely, I'm always glad to see another one being saved. Let me know if I can help in any way.

BTW, congratulations on your upgrade to Moderator status too!

Ok so I have to decide. This green...http://classicbroncos.com/forums/showth ... p?t=194220

or rescue green. Im thinking more towards the factory green in the link. Now to decide with either silver accents or black. I saw a bronco on tuesday that was dark blue that had a silver top and flairs. I really liked the silver accents.

I saw those pics. i've always been a fan of the dark highland green. But on an EB it needs to be bright.

I disagree. That happens to be my absolute favorite color. Ad a brown interior and you have pretty much nailed it!

Bringing this back up. I need to get my camera out since my phone is dead but I made the first cuts on the exterior. I cut off about 4 inches of the rear quarter panel and tail light panel. This is for a good cause. I'm donating the clean rust free corners to landsharks build. I'll get pics up soon.

Good work Roberto. I know how hard you work and how you like things just right. Your buggy will be awesome. If I can return a favor and lend a hand in some way, let me know my friend!

Havent been working on it much but i did get the cowl all patched on both sides. Picked up a straight core support from phil. Just placed the order for all the remaining body panels to get this thing closer to paint.
