Panels are in, fit and final primed. Next is some primer in the wheel wheel insides, then some raptor behind and some cavity wax. All had raptor behind but within a few inches of edges it was primed.

Honestly I am so happy.

Same white. But we did run into some variance. Basically the color code doesn’t look the same. I guess ppg has up to a 10% change. Trying to dial it in now.

Finally got my switches to play nice with my usshift. If anyone wants a 4x4 low switch to light up let me know.



Duffy, the 4x4 low switch is cool. Possible to get one to light up using twin sticks?

Also, does your dash fold down, or is it propped up in your pictures. Thank you sir.

My 4x4 low switch works, it's just setup to do a shift parameters for 4x4 low in my Quick 4 controller.

I made a bar and brackets, so I could fold the dash down and work from the backside. I made the mistake and tried to jam as much electronics into the bronco as I could fit(I regret a lot of them)

I would probably not do the remote start, alarm and power door locks. I would have gone explorer 5.0 computer, that would get a ecu out of behind the dash and the trans controller (I might be doing this swap soon). I would have put the radio in the center console.

Well paint is basically done. Looks so good. Had to tweak the paint a smidge to match. My original mix was slightly more yellow then the new PPG mix. Fitment of the NOS front fenders and 66 rear quarters is night and day better then the China re-pops. Tires tuck a lot nicer now, and overall fitment is just so different. The fenders are the correct amount out from the body and is something the re-pops did wrong. So happy finally!

Ha! I have a few miles on her. Next (fall) will probably be a traditional grill.

She is out of paint and looking good!

Hopefully the top is fine. Strange how my bronco tastes have changed in the few years the build has taken.

I think I could find a nice grill, paint, fit it and come out ahead or a wash for my icon style grill.
