Spaggyroe's scratch built early Bronco build.

When does
This thing move under its own power? You seem to be getting pretty close?

There are a LOT of odds and ends to still work through. Plumbing being the next big thing on the list.

Ideally, I'd like to drive it by Thanksgiving weekend. That'll mark 1 year since I drug that carcass home, so that seems like a good goal.

I'm super impressed with how quickly its come together while maintaining a super high standard! Seriously, its turning into one of the most amazing EB's I've ever seen.

Thanks for the kind words Greg (and the rest of RME as well).

I haven't been the best at staying on top of updates, so I think it appears to be moving along pretty quickly.

Labor Day weekend updates.

Ididit tilt column is in, and topped off with a Shelby style steering wheel. I also got the under dash ducts in for the vintage air.

 

[spaggyroe]

Seats and console are in.

Seats are stock E.B. That I put new foam and these houndstooth covers on. Oh, and seat heaters are in there, because... well... I’m getting old. 🤷🏻‍♂️

 

[spaggyroe]

The console is a tuffy. I added a power port to it and the seat heat controls.

 

[spaggyroe]

There are a lot of aftermarket seats that will technically fit an early bronco, but I wanted to retain the fold and tumble action for back seat access.

I don’t know of any aftermarket seats that do that.

 

[spaggyroe]

Seat belts are mil surplus H1 3-point.

 

[spaggyroe]

Oh, and I put in a pretty typical EB roll bar.

Man this thread is kind of like a good sign for the week.

I see it and I know am ready for a good week.

Thanks for sharing the updates! Amazing job on this build!

Love the pics and progress.

The brown truck brought a box from Tom Woods. 1350 shaft for the rear.

 

[spaggyroe]

It was one of the few parts on this thing that actually bolted in without modification. 😂

I also finished up my traction bar install.

I agree this thread makes me smile, compared to my week. Thanks

So infatuated with this project. Hope to see it in person one day.

This is turning out AMAZING! I might be afraid to drive it if it were mine. Such a good looking rig down to the smallest details.

Thanks guys.

It won't be a daily driver by any means, but it's definitely going to be driven.

@Bart , I'm in south Lehi. You're welcome anytime, else I'll see you around once it's totally done.

Just amazing work on this. So clean!
