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.

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.

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.
