I agree. They did something to that bare metal. $30k is right on. I have a friend who sold his 73 survivor in similar condition to a dealer for $29k. It got marked up to $43k and it's sitting.

If that's true, storage of those frames is going to cost something to someone, forever. You'd think they would just shred them and recycle the pieces.

I think your post is impossible to decipher. Are you saying bubbles are caused by a glut (too much of something)? That's wrong. Are you saying a glut is an over production of an item? That is true, but still not the cause of a bubble. Overproduction of an item's perceived value? This...

Huh? How do you produce a glut of value? Don't you mean excess demand? If there is excess demand, prices rise. Uncontrolled demand, then bubbles are created. Do you see uncontrolled demand for Broncos? I don't. I'm not talking about the cause of inflation. I'm telling you that the whole...

I said nothing about your financial situation. Not my business. However, when someone complains about the cost of projects being too high, maybe looking at a cheaper project is the answer. It's not necessarily about ones ability to spend money, but more about their desire to spend. There...

Wow. Just because it doesn't make sense to you, doesn't mean it doesn't work for someone else. Maybe you should be looking for a Bronco 2 or a Scout or a Willys. Plenty of cool projects that aren't Broncos out there.

So I just received an email from Tom's advertising their new Bronco bodies. Have not seen any threads on here about them, so I am assuming that they are a new offering. Wondering if anyone has seen them, and most importantly, where their price sits vs. the other body options. Pretty...

That's the cleanest concrete floor I've ever seen!

I had a couple in our dump truck last year. Ate through the shifter boot to get at a protein bar I left in there. I figured they were gone after I cleaned it up, but they kept leaving evidence so I left it parked each night with a big trap in the driver's footwell. Had to leave a warning...

Huge difference with barn cats here. I never had a problem with rats or mice until my barn cats died. Now, the rats are everywhere.

Seems like the numbers are softening on all "toys" right now. I see the Bronco as a better long term hold. 60s muscle is not as popular as it used to be, especially if your GTO needs paint.

Here you go...... https://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/pts/d/puyallup-1969-ford-bronco-top/7723473687.html You could resection your top with the front lip from this one if you wanted to get tricky. I know it is across the country.

I guess it depends on your definition of cheap. Bodywork and paint used to be a lot cheaper too. It's all relative. Spend $1500 on a rust free top, or $1500+ on body and paint.

Does someone make a patch panel for that area of the hardtop? If you are planning on making your own, it might be tough to match the curve. If you have a MIG, use that. Tops are cheap and plentiful. I have 3 that are currently off of trucks. Another alternative would be to find a better top.

Thats just what I needed. Thanks! I am not sure that this one can be saved. Outside looks good, inside might be a mess.

I've never worked on that section of top before, but I have filled in holes of that size with a MIG. If you can get behind it with a backing plate that you can hide (under the headliner?) after paint, then those holes are pretty easy to MIG shut, grind and fill. That many holes will take a...

How invasive is replacing the area where the hood mounts? (Not sure if this is actually in the cowl, or windshield mount or what? This is an original paint bronco, so I am trying to avoid a full repaint. Anyone have any pictures of how this area goes together? Looks like a sandwich of...

I've had my City police and County Sheriff do VIN checks. I think they have access that the DMVs don't. They were able to tell me if both VINs were stolen, presumably nationwide.

+1 for TDK. I wish my welding skills were as good as theirs.

Old cars/trucks= letters out. Reminds me of the 80s when these trucks were everywhere. New trucks=letters in. The lower profile sidewalls look weird with letters. Just my 2c
