Did you paint it yourself or have a local shop do it?

Is that a Bronco Bob / All For Fun cage?

I like the vented wheel houses- perfect for a dry climate.

I hope to see it person some day. Perhaps at an E-burg meet up....

Great build!

Thanks,

I had a friend paint it, he retired from his own body shop and does a little stuff at home.

The roll bar I won at the Northwest Bronco Roundup! It's from Tom's Bronco.

I have made a little progress on the Bronco also. I had to raise the torsion bar to clear the upper 4-link bars.

Tim, it has been just shy of 10 months since you posted an update. How are things going with the project?

I think he lost his tool box. He's been cleaning the shop looking for it. He posted earlier this evening that he had found it so now maybe he can get back to work....

Hi Doug and Jim,

Doug, I haven't worked on the Bronco all summer. I started building a greenhouse that I thought was going to go faster then it has, and the rest is history.
If all goes as planned we will install the plastic cover on Tuesday. There is lots to do before I can call it finished, but it's getting closer. The back side is done.

The front side:

I hope to get a little done on the Bronco this fall yet. I have got the four link bars completed.
