I will tonight. I'm on my phone and can only upload one pic at a time. So once I get back to a computer I'll get it done.

Sorry!

well, delaying the inevitable of wiring by finding more odd jobs to finish...

these rock sliders built by Monster Mike, are really really above and beyond any expectation...very well built, and fit like a glove...thanks again Mike!...i did linex them to match with everything else (small word of advice, do not linex the support brace that comes with the guards as its a very very tight space they fit in, and the extra thickness made it impossible to rotate into place, i had to strip the linex off, and paint them)

finished up the fuel system

now for wiring...ugh...

i did go with the BC Broncos soft top, thanks to Jason for answering all my question, very much looking forward to getting it and installing...also thanks to all of you I reached out to in regards to your impressions of the top!

Man that looks great Adam. Really glad you got her done. This is one of my all time favorite Broncos. You did all the right performance and custom mods but still keeps its original Bronco look. Great Job. Now for the next one;)

Looking good Adam! Did you end up fabbing your shock mounts? Get that rig on the road already!

No. The front hoops are bloody knuckle garage. The rear ones were made by Migs here on the forums. He also made the heavy duty coil cups and the steering stabilizer frame bracket.

So with the hydroboost. I had a custom show stage 3 hydratech kit made. I went to install yesterday and they had shipped me the wrong one. It was made for a guy down in Florida. So now the waiting game continues.

got a few more things done today...got the dash put in, it was powder coated post swapping the glove box and speaker outlet...it is a black wrinkle to keep with the linex look

got both bumpers on, and forgot to take a pic of the rear one...

going to run a special set up hiding the brake lines...here is the first picture, and once i figure out the rest (in my head it works perfectly, we shall see if it plays out in real life) i will post more

Nice looking Bronco, Kind of a off the subject. What brand are the wheels in the background.

This thing is turning out killer! Hope my '70 is on this level some day. Already trying to copy a couple of your ideas. Couldn't completely hide my brake lines but I ran some braided lines from the stock proportioning valve to the outside of the master cylinder...And picked up a FRP block and 347 rotating assembly last week. Keep the pics coming

Gbatey - those are BMF wheels in the background. They make some nice stuff.

Cobra - looking good! The hydroboost will drop right into the same place so won't have to change any lines at all. I'm happy about that. I was producing 4lbs of vacuum at idle, so vacuum booster was just not gonna cut it. So be thinking about that as you choose your cam. If you go too extreme like I did, you will run into problems.

Who's front sway bar are you using? Was the coil cups part of the kit?

And the Bronco is looking fantastic!
