bobthecarmodeler Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 As you can see by the pic next to my out of the box yellow Bronco, this blue beast is anything but stock. Purchased items for the modifications include- Olson Brothers – Roadster doors and flares Fireball Modelworks- Weighted Mud King XT Tyres, Five slot mags, 3.5” suspension lift kit and 9600LB winch kit. Some scratch-built mods include – 2” body lift, body mould removed, tailgate removed, steering linkages and dash converted to RHD, front and rear bars made from brass, roll cage and sliders also brass. And donated from a 2014 Mustang kit are the seats, air cleaner, radiator and fans, Coyote engine and transmission. I couldn’t decide on leaving it clean or mudding it up, so I compromised with a little bit of dirt down the left-hand side as if it was driven with two wheels off the edge of the road along the soft muddy shoulder.
Casey Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Isn't there a worldwide law which states all round rollbar mounted lights must be KC HiLiTES? Nice work on this one, Robert. It absolutely has "the look".
Classicgas Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Quite a modification. How did you do the body mods?
espo Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Two beautiful builds with a great contrast between stock and what we all would rather have. I like your idea of mud on one side only so that you can also see just how nice it looks when cleaned up.
stavanzer Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Love the 'Roo Bar! That colour is sharp too. What a great build. Were the Olsen Roadster Doors difficult to install. I want to use a set on my Bronco, but have not bought any yet?

Lower rockers were rounded by sanding as well. Wheel arches enlarged with a Dremel to accept resin flares. Doors and tailgate were removed using the old cotton saw method.

Alan, Roadster doors were quite a good fit after cutting the original doors out with cotton. only had to sand a couple of spots of the resin inserts that overlapped behind the rear quarter panel to make the outside flush.

mikemodeler Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Quite a nice looking pair you have there Mate! Love the stock and off roader versions, nicely detailed!
stavanzer Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 Thanks, Robert! I need to just pull the trigger and order some Olsen Stuff, and some more Fireball stuff for my Bronco.
PARTS GUY Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 very cool build. Both the Olson and Fireball resin parts are very good. The Olson hood is excellent.
Jim N Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Both of them look great! Super detailing on the off roader.
