While waiting on my flex plate to show up. Decided to finish the front drive parts. Power steering pump painted and box as well. Distributor installed and coil ( Forgot to take photo of that). Once transmission installed the motor can be completed.

Worked on the tub this weekend. Filled in marker light, front gas tank, and upper door post. Also fixed the rust on the lower quarter. Starting on the driver quarter and working my way around.

You are the man on a mission. Keep it up, my hard-working friend.

Curious why you elected to fill in the side marker lights.
My '67 does not have them and it kind of hides in the dark.

Im running a 66 front end and doors. Didn’t want marker lights in the rear. And nothing up front.

What wiring harness are you running in the front?
I had a '71 that got T-boned so I put the '67 body on mine. When I was rebuilding the looms I realized the early ones allow the front park lights to go out when the headlights come on. I didn't like that idea especially with no side marker lights, so I upgraded the loom so the front parks would stay on with the headlights, in case a headlight went out I still had a marker light on that corner.

Haven’t decided yet. Trying to finish frame and start body work. Most likely a 68-69 style harnes.

Finally got my flex plate, got it installed as well as the starter and front drive line. Then moving on to installing headers and new spark plugs.

Was able to button up the motor this week. Got it running and was able to install the front drive line, brake calipers and passenger side axle. Crazy it only been two months and the frame is almost done. Hope next week I can do brake lines.

Got time today and worked more on the tub, finish to front door jams and upper rockers.

Great progress. Your body build looks great.

Cole, how difficult was it to weld up the front gas cap delete and the rear marker light delete? I have a few places I’m considering doing some body repair that won’t be seen unless you look REALLY hard, but it’s what I’d like to do.
Congratulations on your progress with the build. Looking forward to seeing more.

Was the Bronco ever equipped with any sort of rock guard up in the front fender?
After I got mine painted I had to drive a fair bit of gravel roads and it ended up blistering the paint at the top of the fender from some major rock rash underneath.

Wasn’t really bad. Once you clean your paint off, get your welder set right your good to go. I took my time and tac welded the metal. Not allowing it to heat up. It definitely worth the couple hours to fix the areas.
