GasPunkAlley Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) I was inspired when I got this new kit and started to look for some possible famous first Gen Broncos. I remembered that Mr. Kimble from Green Acres had a '66 Bronco Roadster. So my search went on for reference pics. I saw the other reviews so far and agree with the wheels are too small. I don't mind the tires, the rim size really is a bummer. I also agree with the sides being too flat / straight. I have attached some of my references. Mr. Kimble's Bronco Roadster with street tires. Note the turn signals Note the front fender badges. Note the top of the tailgate. Edited November 8, 2016 by GasPunkAlley Added more info.
GasPunkAlley Posted November 8, 2016 Author Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) Here is my progress so far, I removed the beltline trim, marker lights to make the truck pre '68. Started removing the marker lights removed trim, hinges and marker lights filled in door handle mounting point, swing away spare mounts and filled in holes beneath tail lights rounded off rocker panels and added material below Edited November 8, 2016 by GasPunkAlley added more info
disconovaman Posted November 12, 2016 Posted November 12, 2016 (edited) I'm hoping to see a resin company cast the fiberglass door caps. I had a car for sale or trade (SS Nova) about 7 years ago and one guy contacted me with a trade for his Bronco it was pretty cool, White, full fiberglass body, the door caps were molded with the body, Nice lift, 4X4, little 347 small block... I really thought hard about trading I kinda wish I'd had now. My stepdad owned 2... I was too young to remember them vividly but I've seen pictures. One was light met. green with the white stripes, and one was deep purple with white stripes. His first wife rolled the green one so he bought the purple one right after that. I'm gonna add this kit to my collection soon. Edited November 12, 2016 by disconovaman
