My 78 Bronco Project

[custom_78]

Here are some pictures of what it looked like three months ago. I still have to try to find pictures of what my Bronco looked like when I bought it, but it might take me awhile because they were taken with a non digital camera. I have had my Bronco for almost a year now. It has been a fun and challenging project that keeps me working in my free time. Well, here is what it looked like after I finished some basic rollcage work.


Front Prerunner style bumper I made.

[custom_78]

sorry for all the pictures but that's really the only way to show you guys what I'm doing.

The more exciting detailed pictures.


-Here's the dash completed. I just love it. The finish was done with a vibrater sander with 216 grit sand paper. My dad and I step rolled the edge of the aluminum to give it a embossed look.

Another picture of the dash from the passenger side.

A picture from my future back seat shows the dash again and also shows the B&M Z-Gate shifter that I got for Christmas, and the suspension bucket seats that I also got for Christmas.

Now for some rollcage shots.

another. See how many tubes are consisted of in this rollcage. When the cae is finished it will be a 12 point cage tied into the frame.

 

[custom_78]

Underhood rollcage pictures which also shows my travel shock hoops which will have 4 15" travel Explorer Procomp ES9000 shocks.

 

[custom_78]

The fender opening. I had to take out the plastic liners and cut the metal fenderwell to allow enough space for the long travel shocks.

Rollcage goes right through the firewall.
