Hey guys I started this Bronco a while back. I was planning on finishing it for the NNL in Atlanta but the show came and went without the build being completed. As with most of my stuff, I had to scratch build the chassis, and the body went under some major modification to get were it is. I still have a ton of work to do but here are some shots of where I have made it to. I started casting quite a bit so I had to put this off to the side. I hope to pick it back up soon.

The wheel combination I used is the Mickey Thompson Classic IIs that I cast with a set of scratchbuilt beadlock rings. I had to do quite a bit of work but I got them to fit a set of the So-Real Boggers.

For those of you who never saw what I started with here is the body when I first purchased it.

With me having some time off I decided to break the Bronco out and work on the rear suspension. Its not finished but I got alot done. I need to finish some of the painting and I need to build the drive shaft. I also changed the wheels and I will using some photo-etched wheels from RPP Hobby. Rear steering does work and had to be scracth built.
