I cut in to it to see what I had to do and kept cutting more and more . Ive been reading on some threads to figure out how I wanted to do this(mostly Bossinds). So now I have a little more cutting to do and wait for my rust bullet and herculinar to show up! Sorry I diddnt do so good throwing the pics in here I hit the wrong key, at least I figured out how to get them on here:toothless

I got a few more and didnt meen to put them up like I did. I meant to be a little more detailed like Bossinds threads, just never done it before so if anyone has any hints on how to place my pics and comments in there with the pic let me know. The copper plate in the picture is to place behind the spot weld holes whe welding, the weld wont stick to the copper.
I got it off e-bay and I also have a Bronco parking only sign.
a little more welding

I got some more done on the bronco in the the last couple of weeks. For some strange reason I cant get my pictures to come up any more, wich blows because I was wanting to share what I have got done. I cut out and replaced the b-pillars,some of the bed rails were rusted out so they got cut and replaced, now I just got the drivers side rear support cut out and welded in a rust free replacment. I have a gallon of rust bullet& a gallon of herculiner to put in when I get the passenger side done,and weld in the rear quarters. it looks good and makes me happy to get it done because Ive been saying I was going to do it for a couple of years now. I ve got a bunch of pics to show if I can get them to load up but every time I try it says upload of file failed, if anyone knows anything I can do to get this problem solved please help!:banghead
I dont know if this going to work but it was worth a shot

Igot the outside ruffed up and ready for a coat of rust bullet. Its not a good idea to drink with friends when your welding. Its hard to get anything done and doesn't feel that great the next day, could have had a coat put on.:doh0715:

it wasnt KY I bought the truck in Wilkes Berry PA( I think thats how its spelled) with 58k on the odometer. looked great when I bought it . A year later I had rust bubbles & two I had holes in the fenders now I'm trying to get it all under control. The next time I post some pics I will have the rust bullet complete and the herculiner done. I want to get it put back together so I can get her out to play!
Yeah shes getting painted dont know what colors , I wanted to go stock but I'm still unsure about it what kind of paint should I go with? Thanks haven't got much feed back on any of it was wondering what I did. Ideas on paint anyone?
I've got more pics on my supermoters. http://supermotors.net/19764

I figured it was a good time to get the rusty skid plate painted with it to, why put a new gas tank under my truck with all that rust on it.
