doors are painted but I havn't put them back together yet or on the truck for that matter. I drove the bronco to work and the steering is sloppy but otherwise runs and drives great.

I keep coming back here to look at your pictures. That's a great color that you chose; somehow it even looks like those huge flares fit better than before.
You have a very nice rig, enjoy it!

Thanks bud. I know those flares are unpopular... I hear from my buddies on the regular. I'm just trying to keep it legal-ish as much as possible. The color scheme is the factory colors from my 91 bronco I sold to buy this one. Couple of pics to add to the info.

Turned out great Rich, and yes those flairs are larger but a good beverage shelf!

Re: Rich's 1968 bronco build thread

We went through start to finish making it to buck on the first day. My rear brake line got cut about 20 minutes from camp so I basically didn't have brakes for the rest of the trail and then I had my clutch rod between my pedal and master cylinder snap about 2 hours from the tahoe side staging area. It was weird only having 1 pedal as I came off the trail. I was able to do the trail easily without brakes mostly because of my manual trans (ZF5) and the 5:1 atlas.

The guys I went with were impressed (and possibly jealous) at how well my rig did especially considering my lack of brakes.
