My daughter said she wanted the 74. Bought it 15 years ago it has a 302 with an auto. It has the rust in all the usual places. Hopefully have it on the road by the end of summer.

And thanks to Melissa for all the parts today

MacGuyver would be proud of that patchwork! Good luck with the build.

thats awesome she is onboard or a EB

Nice! Looking forward to the build thread.

Let me know if you only need patch pieces for the rear floor, I have one that can be cut up.

Yes thanks kinder

The can is finally open. Looking for some door measurements. Thanks also getting a tetanus shot

Look here- this should be what you need. http://www.broncofix.com/viewtopic.php? ... highlight=

Just did this repair over the summer on my 75. If you need specific measurements, let me know. I'm really pleased with how I got mine but I don't have the lower door seal installed yet so hopefully it will stay this nice.

I found that the 39" for the door opening was pretty spot on. I had the issue that the cowl wanted to spring forward which caused some funky gaps.

Good luck with the repairs!

Dam looks like another trip to the Hut need the right quarter and both door posts. At least keeping my mind busy.

^ wow, that’s a bit of cutting there. I’ll add that you should measure your doors and adjust the opening accordingly. Not all doors are created equally.

That is the definition of jumping in head first

Ya like I said trying to keep my mind off of other things. This is fun. But yes everything is going to be screwed together and fitted before the welding

Right side all done. Now for the left side

Looking good!

Anyone see the irony of the name on the original passenger floor patchwork?

It's so fun to see folks dive in like this. Someday I'd love to be the apprentice of someone doing this so I might gain a little confidence in body work.

Nice progress! definitely have some momentum going on

Happy the way the door turned out. Was getting ready to start on the driver's side but thought it would be easier to go ahead and do the rear floor before I turn it around in the garage. But good news is all the body bolts came out.

Does anyone have any old rear tail light housing. The PO had cut about six inches off the bottom don't want to replace the whole housing. Thanks

AMAZING WORK there Mr. LAV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are KILLING IT!!! Keep the pics coming!!!

...not sure if it makes a difference, but if you are going to disassemble and paint, it might be worth swapping your door hinges, they're upside down so, Your Lt's are on the Rt.

Shoot nice catch I didn't even notice the hinges. Thanks

Got the rear finished up now on to the driver's side

That looks nice, hard to beat fresh steel.

Yes it is. Started to just cut the rust out then we'll you know it just went down hill from there.

Nice work! Your making quick work on the sheet metal

Has anyone else ran it to this. The left front corner of the rear floor pan doesn't fit well ended up just bending up some 16 gauge metal to fill the gap
