Nice!!

One of my favorite rides.  Ideally, it would be a 4 speed 4 wheel drive V8 convertible (I know they did a soft top for a brief period).  And most I see have either been modified beyond saving, over restored beyond affordability, had the fenders cut for bigger tires or had the rust removed with a sawzall.

When I lived in Athens, Ohio the townie at the bottom of my street had 3 of them.  One was orange and white with a 351 auto(tragic) in it.

Thanks RedLeg0811!  I use #26 gauge wrapping wire that I bought several rolls of from Radio Shack before they went out of business locally.  I have a roll of red wire and a roll of blue wire left.  I find it more cost effective to make my own plug wires unless I can find a pre-wired distributor somewhere.

Very nice looking! What did you use for spark plug wires? I used some 4# test fishing line sharpied, but those ones you have look so much better.

I have been waiting for this model to come out for ever. I had a 68 bronco in high school and now have a 70 bronco.

This is my '73 Bronco painted with Tamiya TS-10 French Blue with a white interior, wheels and wheel covers from the Moebius '71 Ford Ranger pickup, scratch-built trailer hitch ball, modified side decals, and the air cleaner from my parts box.
