This is princess!

6 months ago I bought another 79 bronco. I think it has been seen here in my redneck rotisserie thread in the shop tools section. Definitely not the normal build on here but I thought I would share if y'all Wana see it.


This truck is called princess cause she was a pavement princess, build for mall crawling in the 90s hahahaha. Here are some pics of when I got it and one of it in its hay day.

I ended up buying a spare body that had some parts I needed. Bought it swapped out the parts and sold it for what I payed for it!!!


Body was but on the rotisserie and the bottom was sand blasted completely clean. It will be paint matched. No under coating. after the sand blasting I coated the interior of all the body structures to prevent rusting

It had 2 small rust spots in the floor and we found a few more as the body was stripped m nothing we couldn't fix.

Frame was stripped and sent to powder coating

The body was sent to paint and worked over. Surprisingly it was in decent shape. All cars of this era have rust, but it wasn't out of control. It was taken down and brought back up with great care by the painter. As of right now it is in primer on the exterior and the interior and underside are painted along with some of the small parts

I tore the rear axle down and fixed all garbage welds and wear and tear on it. Also tore the tcase apart and checked it out. New seals and a good scrubbing then a nice coat of paint. Finished the rear axle in black also with a set of disc brakes

Also got out the new powder coating system I bought from Eastwood. Bought some color matched powder. Looks good and easy to use!!
