Just getting started 74 Bronco - N747JB - 10-27-2011
I bought this a few months ago, started out wanting an old convertible to drive, decided I wanted another old Bronco, like I had when I was 15.
upergrin: Anyway, I was planning on adding a roll bar and just driving it as is, maybe painting it later. But it's turning into a full blown project. :popc1:![[Image: IMG_20111010_120410.jpg]](http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b234/fishandfly/IMG_20111010_120410.jpg)

So far the frame is done, the transmission is rebuilt, the floorpans are fixed and the top is ready for paint. :beer:

Looking good so far! Did you sandblast or wire wheel the frame?

I'm cheating, it's in my body shop! If I was doing it all myself, it would never get taken apart, much less put back together!

Full blown project? I don't think there is any other kind no matter the initial intention. Looking good though. Wish I had a body shop to do my project in. You are very fortunate to have facilities. Can't wait to see the finished product.

It has a small lift 3-4 inches, 35 inch tires, I'm going to leave it in place. Motor is pretty stock 302 that was running good when we pulled it last month, probably just clean it up and a some chrome. The interior is my next challenge, I've got stock front and back seats, they're blue vinyl I would like to do a matching green interior, but I've got a base interior and the only green I've seen that I like is the Ranger (?) cloth houndstooth. I'm going to look at after market seats before I make a decision on the interior. I do need a headliner for the hardtop, we patched some on the top and it needs to be covered.
upergrin: Hopefully we'll have more progress next week!:xyxthumbs:
