Spaggyroe's scratch built early Bronco build.

Great info, thanks!

You could also save some money, time, and grief if you pull the glass yourself and make templates. Just lay the glass on some cardboard and trace it out.

I have already pulled the rear glass, and will pull a side piece out tonight. I'll take them in to the glass shop. I'm pretty sure they're factree pieces.

Then you can probably sell them for double the cost of the custom glass.

I always seem to run into this guy when trying to sell parts.

Brought the top home from blasting. The center of the roof was intentionally not blasted due to concerns of warpage.

 

[spaggyroe]

The support bows in this top were damaged at some point so I wanted to get those replaced. Here’s one old and one new.

 

[spaggyroe]

I’m filling between the bows and roof skin with this sauce. It’s 3m, 2 part expanding urethane foam.

I ran it up to temp a couple of times today. I wanted to monitor what I could using torque pro and a Bluetooth dongle in the obd2 port.

The torque pro app is really slick, but It felt wrong to use it in an E.B. 🤷🏻‍♂️

 

[spaggyroe]

I also got my reverse lights working today. I found some led replacement bulbs that are pretty bright.

Here are a couple of pics of the engine bay with the radiator , fan, and hoses in. Pretty much no room left. Radiator was built by Ron Davis.

Super clean engine compartment though, looks like a show quality build!

I also got my glass from the glass shop. I'll post up pics later on after the top is painted and I get it all installed. Thanks @Hickey for the heads up.

You're absolutely welcome. That's one mod that looks SO much better than tint ever will.

Do we really have to wait that long for more pictures? Dammit!

LOL, nah, just pics of the glass. I'll continue to throw some pics up on the rest of the Bronco as things progress.

First test drive. 😎👍🏻🇺🇸




Pretty faint in the pic but it definitely gets up and goes.
