instead of me looking thru a bunch of build threads to find what i'm looking for i felt it was easier to just post what i'm looking for. is anyone here building a bronco using mike's bronco design fiberglass bodies. it's been awhile since i have been on here and i'm a little out of touch with what's going on here. i would like to see your build and what you have run into when installing his body. his bodies look outstanding in quality as compared to the others. i like so many features of his bodies like the steel inner construction and the fact that its finished inside and out and you don't have that nasty raw glass that gets under your fingernails when you work on it. i know that cause i work on boats for a living.

We are anxiously awaiting word from Mike on delivery date for the sport body we ordered. When we've got it here ..the flathead V-8 EB build thread will be coming back to life.

Don't feel bad..I've been here a little while and I still take the "shout out" shortcut on many occasions.;D

What is the "sport body"? Different from a standard tub? Somehow sportier? :)

If I had known the amount of work my "body" needed, I would have gone this route.. Alas, I was blind to the vast amount of body work my truck needed. It just needed a "paint job"...

I picked up tub #21 at Broncorama last Spring. After hectic Summer and Fall semesters (of teaching Machine Tool and taking Engineering classes), I realized my project came to a complete standstill.

With the help of my 16 yr. old son and a few friends, the project is back on track. The frame and driveline components are off getting painted, and I am building mounts for my rotisserie so I can finish the tub bottom soon.
