My hood is also faded. This Arizona sun does a number on red paint jobs. My 94 F-150 has almost lost all of its red paint. I really need to build a garage for my Bronco so when I re-paint her she will be protected.

Tom, that first post really cracked me up. I think you have to own a bronco and know some of the pain we all endure especially with the high mileage ones to understand this. I remember driving down the freeway for the first time thinking: "I am pretty confident this time the bronco wont leave me stranded, blow a cooling hose, or have an electrical short causing the whole truck to go dead." It feels good. Really good. Good like, you hit all the green lights on way home from work, then you eat a perfect dinner (ribs with french fries from Tony Romas), and then on the way home you stop by thrifties and get some ice cream (double scoop of chocolate brownie and chocolate malted crunch.)

Just the way it is with old vehicles. I get the question all of the time, "Why don't you get rid of that thing?" Of course, WE know why, because I can fix EVERYTHING on it (for the most part that is) and HAVE for that matter, and gee, I have no payments and I pay less than 300 per year for insurance. I can afford to put a killer stereo in my beloved bronco because nobody woud guess that my vehicle, which had no rust but has a less than perfect paintjob, just MIGHT have 2000 worth of stereo equipment in it. Hence, it has never been broken into, knock on wood. And when I need to replace a part, I don't sweat it because I don't have that 300 dollar payment every month. And what the hell, it starts everyday. Just getting the little annoyances fixed at this point, one at a time.
But I might never as happy as I was when I fixed that window, haha.
