I used the Escape box and it fit perfectly in the center. I will say that I redid my dash so the heater controls aren’t in the same place. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I did the same as Eck. Got a cardboard template if you want it. |

A sound deadening mat would be good to add if it's easier to install now. Sure would go a long way into making these old steeds more quite! I really need to figure out a way to mount my computer better. Interested to see what you come up with. |

I would be careful welding with that stock insulation in there. It will easily catch fire and so will the wiring. At the very least try to stuff some fiberglass welding blanket over it but that stuff likes to burn. Can’t help with the computer location

Bronco Hut sold me an aluminum piece shaped to hold my EEC. I mounted my computer under the cowl at the top of the diagonal sloping part on on the passenger side. I just used screws to attach the panel, and the insulation kept everything nice and snug. Simple and effective. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Well, been cranking on this as much as time will allow. Work has been nuts so I've been having to do things only on weekends. Got the cowl replaced finally!              My only concern right now is that the paint I got from Painter's Supply is a bit more orange than my existing paint. I will need to find a paint store that will help me match the paint better before I paint the exterior pieces. Anyone have a good paint store on the north end of Denver? |

Hey Adam, The paint job looks great nice work! Matching paint is tough are you able to roll the cab out in the sunlight vs. florescent garage light to see if the paint tone changes? I use Auto Paint Supply for my paint its a small locally owned store at 5911 Washington Street Denver Co 80216 (303-292-4833) both Ted and Emo are easy to talk to and will answer any questions you have, they really helped me out when I started out painting. |

Family pitched in on this for my birthday:  This is the Bestop seat so I'll have to make the rear bracket but it came with the front ones. Just have to drill a hole and weld a nut on the bottom of the bed and one hole in the wheel well (if I remember correctly, Tom's has a great video on the install). This will be loads safer than the stock seat for my kids. Now I just have to try and see if I can pay Digger to help me make one of his cages versus buying the one from Tom's. :) Oh, and convince myself that it's ok to sell the stock Ginger rear seat that I have cause storing just to store it doesn't sound like a good idea when I apply rational thought. |

I too was born in 76 but my bronco is a 75 so it's the best of both worlds.  There is a way to use them but I'll probably just make them wall art. Sent from my KFKAWI using Tapatalk |

 You can run any plates for the year of your bronco or other vehicle as long as the plate has the year stamped or printed on it. You have to carry the actual plates with you. You have to fill out a form and record it with the dmv or license place. It’s free to do so |

Just got mine last week. I renewed my collector plates which I now keep in the glove box with their registration. There is a form on the state website you can download for "Date of Manufacture" plates and either sent back in via mail or take it to DMV, 1881 Pierce St., Lakewood, CO - there is no cost for the alternate registration and it only took about 20 minutes when I went in. |

Been a while since I posted any progress pics. Been a busy summer and life keeps getting crazier. For journal purposes, in the past month, I quit my job and opened my own business with a business partner. Still doing the same thing I did before but hoping to make some money for myself instead of making other people rich (have been doing that for the past 12 years, helped build enough business that one owner sold the company for over $20 million and didn't share a dime). Anyways, been working on the interior and the drivers side. Hoping to have the passenger side done by end of September and be driving it. Maybe if soccer schedules work out, I'll drive it to the Platte River Grill for the meetup! Interior (all shot with a single stage paint):          Drivers side (base and clear that was made up to better match than the single stage):       After lots of sanding, base coat:  Then clear:   Using my LED shop light to throw some better light on it:   It's not perfect but I'm pretty happy with it. I've learned a ton and have a lot of respect for the guys who do this for a living. |
