Another great resto Arne! I wouldn't have the discipline to SELL them when they turn out this nice.

QUOTE(Artfrombama @ Aug 12 2026, 11:35 AM)  Thanks for NOT using those ugly black fender lips. 90% of the old Broncos in my area have been ruined with a sawz-all and those cheap add-on's In the Bronco community, rigs with the original low fender openings like mine are referred to as 'uncut'. And these days, there is a preference among a sizable number of enthusiasts for uncut Broncos. There is a downside, of course. Uncut Broncos make fitment of modern size tires and wheels very difficult, unless you have 2-3" of lift, which brings a whole different set of compromises. A cut Bronco is much easier to fit decent size tires on w/o all the lift mess. Or, these days you can buy replacement quarter panels with wheel openings that match the front, without the ugly add-on flares. A good option if you need a new body or replacement quarter panels. But in this case, mine had never been cut in all its 50+ years. No way I would cut a survivor like this just to make tire fitment easier. |

What a difference 2 years makes. Before pics from prior owner, August 2024. Working through finish punch list now. Probably 6-8 weeks.

QUOTE(East coaster @ Sep 17 2026, 03:27 AM) Congrats on sale…..What’s next? No way to say, as I haven't started looking yet. The Bronco is still here while awaiting transport. No place to put another project until it's gone. |
