Rich's Blue Bronco Build

[viperchief]

Here are some pics of my '76 Bronco during its transformation. I have owned it since '98 and she deserves some love! While I would have loved to do the work myself, I am lacking the skills, time, and space to do it. I enlisted the help of a local shop to do the frame-off for me. More expensive but quicker and much better than I could do! It has been about 6 months and should be done in a couple of weeks. I have been visiting every few days to take some pics to document the progress. Can't wait to drive her again!

Some of the specs:
'90 5.0 w/C4
4.10 gears, E-Locker up front, Detroit in rear
Rhino lined
WH 3.5" Monster lift + 2" BL
Dakota Dash gauge
Corbeau Bala XP seats
35" MT Baja MTZ
Painless wiring

Thanks for lookin'!

Thanks! I have been thinking about that and have narrowed it down to maybe a bikini top, dash cover, or spare tire cover! ;D

Thanks Hank! I started out wanting to paint it Ford Azure Blue but after looking at the paint chips, I decided to go with a lighter blue. Just kinda picked it out of the deck!

I was taking a tour of the shop a few months ago and saw your bronco it's coming along nicely. I hope to see it when it's done.

Lookin good, love the color.

Where are these pictures taken? Your shop? Is that an M38A1 I see in the background of the 11th picture?

The pix were taken at the shop where the work is being done. They did have the Jeep there for a while but I haven't seen it in a while.
