Here's what I started with about 6 months ago. Craigslist find for $500...










And here is what I have turned it into so far up to today





Only had it out on 2 trips so far, hope to get it out to the snow a couple more times in the next couple of weeks

Hey, Coors! I like your truck, particularly the bumpers you made. 'Course, I like all of them, so voting will be tough.
Wish I could weld.

BTW, I was driving through the Corning area last July, and saw a gorgeous bronze '79 getting off I-5 somewhere near there. Have you seen it? Looks fully restored. Beautiful.

Well here is what I started with. I bought this from a member over at PJB for 1K, had it shipped from Ca to home at a cost of 750. So for 1750 I had a solid rust free 79. My original plan was to touch up the silver and clean it good to resell it. Once I got into sanding the paint off and seeing how solid the body was that is when I decided to keep it.

Didn't look to bad from the pictures, you can notice the paint that is faded off on the hood and roof.




The interior, just a little trashed.


Carpeting was just a little faded.


Started stripping it.





Door jambs, floor boards and the bottoms of the doors were all in excellent condition.







And once the sanding started then I noticed the rust free/bondo free body. It had been a long time since I seen wheel wells that weren't rusted out on a 78-79 Bronco.




Just a little tight for space, good thing the bulk of the work was done in the driveway.



More to come.
