He said that I worked too hard on the bodywork to let me F*** it up....Jokingly of course, but there is always a little truth in every joke ;)

Looks awesome.

Amazingly similar to the dream LUBR build I've got in my head. My wife even said "that looks like what you want".
Where did you get the door panels, seat covers, and arm rests? B hut?

Thanks! "Dream LUBR"...that's high praise!
I've been stockpiling for at least 2 years.
New seat foam from eBay super cheap buy listed for a '67 Mustang. New open box.
New seat covers eBay from "madeone4you" $357 shipped. I sold the rear cover for $200 since I didn't need it. (He is really good and will make Any color combo for you!)
Door cups, armrests, handles, & window cranks also from eBay, 2monkeyboys, $56 - 2 years ago
I did go to Bronco Hut in March of last year to pick up my 2 new front fenders and Melissa asked if I needed anything else??? C'mon, really? Anyway, long story short, the Pair of inserts were only $50 bucks because the vinyl wood grain wasn't as tight as they like!!! She was going to send them back!
AND, I just paid full price for the carpet kit that arrived today! Excited, but Ouch!!!$$$
I still need a front Windshield and I'm going to hold off on the Front carpet install until I swap in a C4 for my crappy 3 speed.

Had some Great help from my 11 year old and I got some "TOP" notch work done today ;)
Drip Rail Chrome
Denver Bronco Edition Roof Rack
New Rubber around the windows and 2 Windows installed! Never installed windows or gaskets before but it was surprisingly easy. I think it was the Wild Horses website that has a nice windshield tutorial.

I wish!
I came across it on my Craigslist Tour of Utah sometime last year. Guy was selling his "old rusty Bronco II hard top!" I asked, and he sent me some pics and the rest is history.
I have had the best luck with people listing stuff without Pics. (and not knowing what they really have helps too!) Their ad just sits there for weeks, stagnant, No interest because No pics - and when the ad is about to expire I get pics and try and dissect everything I can see,and ask about stuff I need or want to see if they might have that also.
I would say that if you don't ask...The answer is Always NO! About 50/50 on whether or not people are willing to ship stuff or not but like I said, I've been very lucky!

I put some racing stripes on my rig today and they turned out pretty decent.
Either my bronco is crooked or my top is crooked or both but it took me almost 4 hours to bolt it on nice and straight so all the gaps lined up Jiminy Christmas what a pain in the butt, BUT, it was worth it!!!!
I just need windshield glass and rear window gasket and I'm ready to roll.

Thanks! THANK YOU!!!
It's been fun FoSho!!! Seeing the vision in my head come to life and rediscovering all of the pieces and parts that I've been collecting over the years...
I found a local guy for my Windshield. I'll bet I talked to 30 glass shops before finding it for $80, If you were closer I'd gladly be #31!
The stripes, vinyl. Pretty easy install and I love the Black, not too much, just enough!
IMO!
Bringing it home on Thursday!
Whoopeeeee:):):)

$80 is a SCREAMING deal on the windshield. That is very close to my cost for the glass alone and I still have to cut it. If he installed it for that same $80 - we all need his name, even if he is located halfway between BFE and Greeley.

That's what I thought! I do have to install it myself but no biggie there.
Raf's Auto Glass in Greeley
Mom-and-pop operation good luck getting a hold of them!!! Two phone numbers on the website and the gal that answers the phone, if she answers, is always busy and says she'll call you back but never does.
It's a good deal out of my pocketbook but very mentally challenging ;)

I got almost everything buttoned up this week, all the glass is in, still have some little things like, seat belts, rear seat, rollbar, and chrome stuff.
Then I'll move onto front disc brake conversion, C4 conversion, and finally next spring I'll throw in some AC maybe!
