Hi guys: I have been posting and learning on here for quite a while now. I think its about time for me to start a build page. I have done a lot to the Bronco so far...as you will see below.
I will update this page as I do more smaller projects to it. So far, everything I have done is listed in my signature area.
The latest project was just completed and that was the paint. I was going to do the $50 paint job that I saw on youtube but I was able to find some really high quality paint that was cheap. It was $149.95 +$18 shipped to my door. Its called Hot Rod Flatz. It won 3 international new product awards at SEMA. So I figured its good enough for my Bronco.
I found a guy on CL that has a custom restoration shop. He was hurting for business so I struck a deal for him to paint my Bronco for $250. So the $50 paint job went out the door. For less than $500, I ended up with a high quality paint job plus I got the satisfaction of knowing that I did most of it myself.
I did all the prep work myself over the course of 2 weeks. At first...during week 1, I sanded a little here and there. 2nd week, I sanded about 2 to 3 hours per day. I also painted all of the trim and bumpers and whatnot myself. Here is the result of my hard work and the painter's expertise: Enjoy!
Starting point:
Installed lift and tires...then...1st round of sanding and 1st primer coat:
More Sanding:
Now for masking:
Finally, out of the booth:
And after the top and trim is on:
I think it turned out great for a cheap and quick paint job. I worked my ass off and it was worth it. Now its on to the rest of the projects on my list...and its a loooong list.
One day at a time, one project at a time. I love my Bronco. I will update this page periodically...as time and money allows :thumbup
