[QUOTE="Jefe, post: 15965500, member: 41358"] Dad and I got to weld for the first time, sealed up the antenna holes. It wasn't pretty... [ATTACH=full]1503959[/ATTACH] Shannon welding up some grill holes [ATTACH=full]1503960[/ATTACH] Filled in the hood openings for a smooth look [ATTACH=full]1503961[/ATTACH] Cut out the fresh air vents, still needs some sanding [ATTACH=full]1503962[/ATTACH] Attached the fenders to the grill and put it back on to check fitment/gaps. That was tough to put back together! We might do it in separate pieces after paint goes on [ATTACH=full]1503963[/ATTACH] Doors on [ATTACH=full]1503964[/ATTACH] Fabbed the hood strut brackets to the fenders [ATTACH=full]1503965[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1503966[/ATTACH] Shannon started smoothing out the bedrails and cut the seam line back in up top. Old school methods and does everything by hand [ATTACH=full]1503967[/ATTACH] I picked up a Bronco cutout from member sk1nw4lk3r a while back. We knew we wanted the Bronco green but, like the wheels, we spent several months looking at options before both agreeing on one.

It is a very close match but has more metallic in it [ATTACH=full]1503972[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1503973[/ATTACH] Here you can see how light affects it [ATTACH=full]1503974[/ATTACH] Picked up a Spectre air cleaner and a new passenger air vent from Toms [ATTACH=full]1503975[/ATTACH] and a 14" Forever Sharp Steering Wheel [ATTACH=full]1503976[/ATTACH] We had always noticed the body or bumpers leaning slightly to one side and Shannon noticed the passenger side frame rail was slightly tweaked.
