Started this build Feb 2020. It was a tremendous undertaking, but all worth the restoration and rebuild. Up for sale in the Spring 2022 #ford #bronco #1978Fordbroncorestoration
Great work! My son found a 1986 Bronco XLT with a 351W just seating outside for 10 years and got it for $100... Despite the harsh conditions she survived with minimal rust and this is the kind of work we want to do on the XLT.. Thank you for posting!
@@VintRestGarage Lucky guy; it was a very nice restoration ; we'll still continue buying spare parts for my son's XLT ;these crazy gas prices will not last forever no matter what Brandon does... Noticed you also changed its wheels. Ours have the chrome partially gone;I wonder if it worth have them cleaned then silver powder coat them or buy new wheels...

Hey thank you. It was without a doubt a very long build. Original rebuilt motor stroked to a 408 with Original rebuilt HD C7 transmission. It is a beast.
Yeah they were and no one understands that. It was a farm rig and could pull hard. That 351M was a workhorse. Now this has it’s original drive train but beefed up to 408 with Mild torque cam, 2400 stall heavy duty C6.
Zero rust was the product. However, i used chassis saver on my Jeep frame and like the build up and sealing quality of it better. Either way, prior to paint always use a rust stop of some sort.
I accidentally may have thrown that template out. If you still need the measurements and angles let me know and I’ll take pictures and create it for you then maybe send the template in the mail.
Good job. I'm putting new quarter panels on mine now and have not been able to find replacement clips for the roof that go in the rails. Were you able to find any?
Those clips are oversized body clips like fender clips. Bronco Graveyard or one of the Ford restoration sites should have them. If not look at an automotive store, maybe even Fastenal.
It has been challenging and, not a show truck but we love it. This Bronco has been completely disassembled for restoration. I think it’s worth the $24,500
