Default First Scale Build...replica of my first '74 Bronco

Well, about 12 years ago, I bought a 1974 Ford Bronco 'Ranger' edition. I lived in Asheville, NC and then moved to Florida and then to Idaho. All-the-while taking the Bronco with me. Having the Bronco out west was the ultimate. I hunted and really enjoyed using for the utility vehicle it was. even my wife was at home in it. After moving back to North Carolina in 2004 and having our fourth child, we quickly outgrew the Bronco. I sold it, reluctantly, to one of my best friends in Florida. He has put at least $15k into it from all new metal and paint to engine and interior...the best of everything. Needless to say, after getting back into crawling, it just so happen that the rig I bought...used, had a 1973 Bronco body on it. I am hoping to relive my earlier years with my Bronco, by making it into what it should have been then...

Nice job on the paint! Will be interested to see where this build goes. I also might send your 1:1 pic to someone to see if they can make that front bumper for my Bronco scaler.

I have a 74' F-100 myself and have always wanted a 74' Bronco as well.

The paint job is very nice. I would add a set of each of these to it yet.
