Looks like a good tub, no rot showing in the rockers or door jams looking at the pics. When you change the body mounts, you might as well do the floor pans while you’re at it. What’s the end game, flippin it?

The seat looks a little uncomfortable.

The only floor pan that has some rot is the passenger's side. The rest just have some surface rust. Not going to flip it. Give it to my son when I am gone. The first-generation Broncos are bringing crazy money now. OH, and I bought some like new seats and a few other interior pieces from a guy in Corpus that was changing the interior color of his Bronco.

I’m finally not upside down in my first restoration. Much easier working on them with body off the frame. Just add some bracing, I removed mine alone with an engine hoist. Body mount bolt removal is time consuming.

Who knows where my dad's pristine '67 is. Somewhere between Fredericksburg and Portland (OR). My brother got it and there were lots of vultures wanting to "help" his widow right after his funeral. 'Not my problem. Some people get all worked up over material things. I try very hard not to.

Won't lose it out in the pasture and won't have to worry about somebody shooting it. Still have the grill, top, tailgate and doors to paint. Installed a new windshield. So far so good.

I still haven't finished the Mustang or the Bronco but came across something I couldn't pass up. Hope I got enough years left for all the projects besides keeping the place in decent shape.

A Democracy is when two wolves and a lamb vote on the dinner menu. That is why this country was specifically not designed as a Democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic.

Dang Don, that looks super! My brother asked if it was for sale?
Any photos of the Mustang after full restoration?

Biscuit. I did everything myself. It is not perfect, but I like it. Western. I quit working on the Mustang when I picked the Bronco up. I will start back on it when I get finished with this. The Bronco is not for sale but the 1958 Ford F100 I did a while back is. I need to downsize and the truck needs to go.
