Tell me about it.

I was even wearing the airbrushed shirt of my old '77. I miss it and the '77.

Here is some more pic from that show which one was the 72?

The middle one, with the Smittybuilt bumper and tag on front. I thought it was a '72 but it has 302 badges. ?:?

Buffed the paint on Ole' Red this weekend; Amazed at the difference it made.

 

[JGbronc]

Looks awesome! That's a perfect shade of red for it, IMO.

 

[bigcountry]

you can find'em. Nice bronco.

In keeping with the title of this thread, I am posting more pics. (I like looking at pictures of everyone's projects too, I guess that's why it is called "Contributor Status".)

The paint has some age, so I need to do a little touch-up, and I am thinking of doing the grill argent. What do Ya'll think?

Do it! I think it will look great. I love the look of an Argent inset.

What kind of Wheels?

I am not a fan of the Chrome Mod wheels (which is why I haven't polished 'em) and I keep seeing this Bronco with some sort of Retro Wheel. This Bronco was done years ago, so it is "Old School" and I think that some kind of old style "Mag" would look great.

I have a set of 15" x 10 Vectors (if that is what they are called) that would probably looked good all cleaned up; or I could bite the bullet and get a set of the new US Wheel Slots!

Let me know what you think!

 

[bigcountry]

I think you should sell it to me as is.;D

I like different color grills on broncos and the old school vectors would look cool.

 

[JGbronc]

^ That, but to me instead. ;D

I have to vote for the slots. I want a set myself.

I X2 on the slots not the vector

 

[fordfan]

Vectors not getting much love.....Help Franko!... I know you like 'em!
Here's a better picture.

I like the vectors.
Always liked 'em. Wanted a set for my 78 just couldn't find 5 matching 8.5"x15".

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
your set should clean up nicely !!

this is what a western wheel looked like after 2 coats of paint stripper and after 20 min in the Glass-blast box !

 

[FRANKO289]

what they could look like ...

I have a set of 4 real 8.5x15
US C.S.I. Vectors ( General lees ) not knock offs !!
They are sandbasted and good to go for powder coating, paint or polishing.
As I promised Lane got until next years super celebration first dibs on them.
( last pic of the 8.5 and my 15x10s )

Sorry for the hijack !

Dennis congrats on your new find. You sear can find the horses.

I am not a big fan of the vectors rims. But Dennis I am sure you will make the bronco look good either way.

Sweetie is looking good as well. Keep the updates coming.
