Natch02 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Yes very nice Bronco. Looks to be in tip top shape. The Adams treatment will really make it glow!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TX SS Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 Thanks guys. It's a fun ride and gives me something to tinker with. Am currently recovering front seats and then plan on replacing some suspension components. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TX SS Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 Time for an update on the Bronco's progress. I sold the slot rims pictured above almost immediately after finishing them. Just didn't like them enough to run them over the stock hubcaps. Then decided to add some of the chrome trim from the sport/ranger models as well as chrome bumpers. Ford parts are being used where available (and affordable). On the inside I added sound deadening and carpet, re-foamed and recovered the seats and built a center console so I would have some cup holders!

TX SS Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 Now on to the detailing. This is how the truck looked when the guy I purchased it from got it. He polished it and did a good job bringing it back to life and now I'm trying to take it to the next level. I'm starting underneath and here is this weekends quick work - passenger wheel well. I used a combination of correcting polish with 4" pads and a drill and revive for the corners I couldn't access with the drill. Nothing is terribly dirty just tired and dried out looking.

TX SS Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 WOW! Those wheels came out fantastic!! Great job on the soundproofing. It makes a huge difference. Thanks. I probably should have given the wheels more of a chance, especially after I added the chrome trim. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
