A Colorado Native
Hey everyone. I am one of them Rare but not yet obsolete Colorado Natives. I grew up in Arvada but have lived in many other states as well. I have a 1967 mustang I have owned since 1992 and is in pieces being built for race. I also have a 1964 F100 street rod waiting paint and glass. Big block 460 ( I am all about inexpensive power and durability ) I recently traded my 69 Mustang S code coupe for a 69 Bronco that was being built into a crawler. It has full with 3/4 ton axles. wild horses coils up front. I have been slowly getting it road worthy to drive. The 289 in it appears to be a fresh engine. Anyway I saw the link here for the meet and greet on classicbroncos web. figured I would join. I am also a member of the Rocky mountain ford truck club. we maintain saxon mountain to keep it open. lots of wheelers on there that are great people. my slick

Re: A Colorado Native
Very nice rides! A two EB family - my dream.
That will be nice to take the pros and cons from your other club to help make this one killa. I have no experience with a club - never needed to before my Bronco. It would be fun to get both groups together sometime.
Hope to see you next week.

Re: A Colorado Native
thanks, they have a long way to go but will get here before I die. lol I am not sure what you mean by a 2 EB family. The pics above are from the day I loaded it up to bring it home last may til now. The 69 that is. The slick was a complete original pickup with a busted up engine. Body work is taking forever, Farm trucks get a hell of a beating over 45 years. lol

Re: A Colorado Native
OOOH - I thought they were 2 different Broncos! I should have noticed the wheels are the same in both pictures. I am starting on the Body Work next month and not looking forward to that part of the resto process. I guess now that we have a little club, we can help eachother out, share resources, and get our projects back on the road.

Re: A Colorado Native
Bumping this back up now that there are more members and im curious as to what I missed on Entourages progress. How has it been going? I see you said you were just getting started on your Body work and now it is done! That F100 up above has a ding/gouge or something on every square inch of it. The Bronco had some of the work done before my Barter deal but is mostly done besides all of the rust repairs needed around the Doors hinges area. I am not even worried about fixing that as of yet.

Re: A Colorado Native
Yup thats just cheap rustoleum Hunters Green and Black, The hood is done as well and I have a new Drivers rear tail panel to install as soon as the weather is nice enough for me to work on it. Will be cheap and easy to touch up if it gets banged up.

Re: A Colorado Native
Whoa another native? We are a rare breed. I have lived in CO for more than 90% of my life.
Nice rigs too! I like those old trucks, and yeah old mustangs too. And well broncos of course!

Re: A Colorado Native
Grew up in Arvada, moved to Texas in high School, then did my time in the ARMY then came back to Colorado. Not too often do you meet another native anywhere anymore. A dying Breed. LOL
