Only way it could be nicer is if you take those wheels and tires off and put it back to stock.

VERY nice!

****IN HOT, my boy has a 63 hard top that looks bone stock but is on bags and has black ghost flames. I love that car, after I do a 51 merc, i'd love to do a custom lincoln like that.



how much is original? I assume paint and wheels and that's about it? Was the car re-upholstered ever? How many miles, etc? Auction car or no?

Bout time I found someone else into the old stuff on this board

cool, just a tip...put some weight on the back. I put a spare on the very back. Evening out the weight distribution helps a lot. The Koni shocks i had helped a lot too. I didn't have the crawler gears, 113:1 was plenty for me. I don't have any shots on here of the mog but here's my bronco

sold it when i moved out of colorado. there wasn't much bronco to it.

SEFI 5.0
Reverse Cut D60s front and rear with 5.13s both fully locked
Hydro steering
Custom built sliding radius arms

lots of really trick parts. Those are 38.5 Swamper SX tires. I had another set of 37" MTRs on beadlocks. I built it to compete in UROC and RRCA stuff but never really got around to it.

here's the new ride



I have collected lots of stuff through the years. Probably most seriously was baseball cards. Now just cars and bikes, although i don't really collect, more like rotating.
