Hey!
U been to the roadster site? W/a name like that I figured U may like it - sompin like:
U13roadster dot com???
'is there 4 any of us to ck out some nice early (1st yr) rigs...
Hey, yes I do have my U13's on the roadster web site. I know the owner (Tim) of the site personally. He is a really good guy and very knowledgeable about 66's. As you know the 66's have a bunch but minor differences from the later first gen. Broncos.
First 66 Roadster build. about 2 1/2 year and 3000 hrs. into it. I sold it early 2010. I would post pictures but I can't figure out how too???
Also I can't seem to list "wanted" or "for sale" stuff on the classified section. I'm not sure really how to use this site compared to others that I have been too.
Ok I'll see if I get this right. Here is my before picture of my 66 roadster and if you go into my photobucket album you'll see after pic and the pictures when Best of Show sold it back in early 2010. On my 100 point restoration it took 2 1/2 years span with 2000+ hr. working time (not what the painter had) and 1000+ hr. parts to find the most NOS parts put on any one 66 Bronco. It was a really fun project!
I'm starting my second U13 frame off this winter. This one will not have the amount of NOS parts the first one had because I bought and used them all up on the first build! The 66 only parts are a real tough to find and even harding getting the owner to sell them!
Btw, you can simply click/copy the actual image, and paste it, and it'll show up....
Hey thanks on the truck. Yes, I'm no computer guru that's for sure. I didn't think copy and paste the actual picture would work. If that's the case couldn't I do that and not even use photobucket? Just copy the pics right off my mac?
Thanks and I'll get some 72 pics up here soon, Jeff

In my experience with Windows 7....You have to have the pics/any pics for that matter, hosted online, then simply copy the pic, and paste it...Just like with Microsoft Paint...
Thanks for the pic. Enjoyed them even on dial-up. Almost 100% correct, no? Looks as good a anything the Paronni's did. They seem to B buyin up all the parts... I still seek a destroyed frnt bench. Lemmie know if U come across one.

"Almost 100% correct, no?" are you asking or telling that it's not correct? There are a only a couple small things that I could not get at the time of build, so I had to use what looked close to stock as I can get. I have had a couple Bronco gurus who have seen the truck in person and they said it's the best 66 they ever seen. One even stated the best restored Bronco period. "Perfect" no but if I could have I would have. Oh well, maybe on the next one. lol
The bench seats are getting tougher to track down these days but I'll for sure keep you in mind, you'll be the first I'll let know!!!
Nice truck. My first vehicle when I got my liscense was a '65 Bronco same color blue, 170 cu. in. six with three on the tree. The vacume windshield wipers were a PIA, every time you stepped on the gas, they would slow down, almost stop.

Kouwell! Almost 50 yrs ago less need 4 'hot' breaks (better manners around, no rush, rush life style, etc) & I'd run w/o wipers sometimes. Just a different world where I come (& came) from.

BTW: U must have 5 yrs on me.
