Congrats, being able to wait 14 to 19 years till you get to drive it... you guys have UNBELIEVABLE patience.

Thanks for the motivation to get back to mine, I've been trying to get it "off road park" ready for a few years now.

Of course I had another project jump the line...

Put some miles on it for sure! Glad we could help, but in the end that's all you that's got it looking that way. As the others have already said so well, it came out fantastic.
And wait until that exhaust is on it and the alignment helps it stay straight. It'll actually be fun to drive too!

You can even put a LOT of miles on it during a road-trip across the country. Others have done it. You could even show up for our next Roundup in April. Love to have you stop by and show it off in person. Heck, you could even go the scenic route and stop by Duff's and BC's as well. Take Randy with you too!

Thanks for the shout out. Hope we can continue to help (but hope you don't need it!) in the future.

Congratulations! That is a beautiful bronco; must have felt amazing to drive it again!

I have had so many of you help me with advice, identifying parts, etc. I want to thank you all for your time and experience! Huge shout out to Paul (dirtdonk) and their entire staff at wild horses for all the help here and over the phone. Delconick at northeast classic Ford parts, you've been invaluable to me. The crew at duff's as well. Such a top notch group to deal with.

And I definitely owe a shit ton to local classicbroncos.com member Ransil. He has helped me out so much over the years, towing the bronco to paint and back, lending a hand installing motor and trans, finishing wiring, getting it running, loaning me tools when needed, kicking me parts. The guy has been amazing. I'm in your debt Randy!

Yesterday I drove the 71 for the first time in 19 years when I decided to get in way over my head and do a full frame off restoration and I truly have many of you here to thank, so THANK YOU!
