79 Bronco Frame off Resto/Mod
I thought I would post up some pics of my 79 Bronco that I am in the middle of a frame off resto. Kind of in a holding pattern, right now waiting for the body man, but here is progress to date.
At Ranger429's request, I have started a build thread for my 79. Hopefully I can do a good as job as Scott did on his.
Here are some picture when I brought it home. I bought it from some guy who had bought it, had a rebuild 400 put into it, and he started to tear it down. (He only managed to remove the top and rear seat and loose them). After that it sat for 2 years, until his wife got tired of it taking up space in the garage and put it on Craigslist. I had been looking for a good canidate for more than a year when I came across it less than a mile from my house. I bought it for 1500 bucks, primed the carb and jump started it and drove her home.

Heres the tub after it was Sand Blasted. I only had a little rust on the tub. But both doors, fenders and rear tailgate had major dents in them. I found doors here locally. Ordered a replacement tailgate from LMC. Also bought some Reproduction fenders, but then found some NOS fenders here so sold the reproductions, and am going with NOS.
