1970 Rust Bucket Project

I guess I didn't read your original post enough. Wow... it has air conditioning. That's something I'd love to add to mine, and I haven't been able to get myself to start down that path yet.
Is it riding on full size truck axles? Those tires sure stick out a ways!
I am liking the patina a bit more. I don't know what it is, but I have seen so many EBs rolling around with original damaged/missing paint and surface rust with an unpainted fiberglass hood. I think yours with the matching hood is a much better look.

I agree, the whole rig is looking really good!

Yeah it's got A/C hahaha. It's a Vintage A/C/Heater combo unit. Overall it's a great setup. I don't like how much of the glove box the HVAC box takes up and i'm not diggin the knobs that came with it. But those are small things really. It sure will be nice to have a kick ass heater in the winter and the A/C for those months where it's too cold half the time to take the hard top off but still warm during the afternoons.

I'm really liking the patina more and more. With the contrast of the new emblems, flares, bumpers, etc. I think it looks pretty unique. Looking forward to seeing peoples reaction when the hood is up or they see the inside. haha When I popped the hood for the first time I just laughed and laughed at how clean it all is.

It looks great to me and AC is the icing on the Patina cake.

Small victory here haha It's running, brakes are done, driveshafts and rear ARB/Gears are in the rear end. Got to take it up and down the street with no seats hahaha

Measured for shocks the night before last. It's coming together. I need to find an exhaust shop to fix what the PO did with the cross over exhaust. With the High pinion 44 the driveshaft makes contact with it. Seats have been dropped off at the upholstery guy. That was above my paygrade unfortunately.

Love it! Nice flex you've got there too!

[Broncrick]

Love it!

Looks pretty Good to me

[PhantomEB]

Hmm definitely love the patina!

[GloNDark2]

Got the seats done and in. Shoulder harnesses are in. Still having a squishy hydroboost pedal which is frustrating. Going to try and remove the e-brake calipers from Lugnut 4x4 and bleed them that way to see if I have air trapped in there somewhere. Got my Bilstein 7100's installed too.

I'm down to the following:

• Finish up some wiring and looming
• Set my speedo on the Dakota Digital
• Adjust some weird body shims that make no sense
• Cut off factory upper shock mounts

Hopefully pics come back soon the forum.

I am sure it looks Great. It is nice to get down to the "Fiddly Bits".

[GloNDark2]

Thanks Doug. It is nice to get down to little crap that's for sure. Also frustrating to find all the little bits I thought were done and need to be redone. haha Check the last pic with the puddle under the bad radiator cap.

Fun to actually drive it around. Showed up at the local Bronco meet up with both Broncos today.

Maybe one day the newer broncos will come down in price as I would love to get the GF into one (she’s been telling me how she likes the army green ones as she calls it). I prefer the older one there!
