Re: motoxscott's multi year bronco project ...

Just finished bonding the rear fenders (bedsides) on Tom Sellicks truck. Came out real good. Had to modify the fuel bucket hookup to make it fit properly. Will make a new mold for that part to make it production friendly.

TM is picking it up today.

Guess you'll just have to wait until they are installed or go back a couple of pages to see the other one.

Re: McQueen Glass

Bumping this up. We have listed the new bronco parts on our website "mpdfiberbodywerx.com". Dicker 1 stopped by and picked up his front fenders and is interested in the hood and rears at a later date. Nick, havent done anything for 97-03 yet. Were tooling up for the 74-79, then 67-73. after that we ...

Re: McQueen Glass

Speaking of hoods, We pin them (as in the pics) closer to the center and use the outer spot as the tension spacer adjustment. Also found out that the alignment should be done on the back side (gap to valance) first. Then if nothing else lines up with it, the core support has to be readjusted if the ...

Re: McQueen Glass

No Randy that's the same I posted when I went up to get my hood. Mike is getting to use it as a rolling billboard of his stuff Robert is correct, a lot of people cannot visualize an unpainted truck or parts to assemble in their mind. I can, thats why I create the stuff i do. I had that problem on t...

Re: McQueen Glass

For those with a critical eye (like me) the front fenders and hood were taken off for painting, and not realigned yet. the door gap is not as it appears. The fitment is a lot better. And Scott I hope it is sooner than later. Any one who wants to see it in person, it will be at my shop for another we...

They are registered to the herbst business in Vegas. We drive them all the time on the streets of cal and never have a problem. A...

Re: McQueen Glass

Robert, I know exactly what they are saying. It cost me $5000 in tooling to satisfy a couple of people that only want to spend $500 to get a set of fenders. As i said nobody has bought any of the stock length ones yet, and im going to build an extended version now? The flares I built are for 37" & 3...

Re: McQueen Glass

You guys crack me up. To begin with, nobody has purchased a set of fronts or rears from me. Ive given away two sets to friends just to get some exposure. It takes 10 pairs to be cost effective. Considering the major part of the tooling is done, from scratch it takes 20 pairs. And I have a months tim...

Re: McQueen Glass

Robert came to my shop and picked up his hood, real nice guy. Robert when you get the longer pins (we buy the proper diameter bolts, cut them to length and side drill the bolt for the keeper pin) you need to put adjustment stops on the side to keep the hood up to align with fenders. Also a piece of ...

Re: McQueen Glass

It works just fine. Ive bonded the two (metal and glass) with marglass many times before without a problem. Preperation is the name of the game. Coarse sanding, prefitting, cleaning, taping off the area before bonding. All the little things inexperianced builders overlook. The final cleanup took les...

Re: McQueen Glass

Well we put the fenders (rear) on with marglass yesterday, came off with out a problem. It took two of us a total of 6 hours to cleanup and bend metal and fit (with clecos) then bond on. Will get pics today. before and after we do the minimal bodywork necessary.

Re: New Hood from Autofab

Not going to comment on either hood, thats a matter of taste. But getting air out of the hood is more important. Drive your truck without the hood latched and see how long it lasts. It will leave the truck at 35+ mph. I know,ive done it, my early model bronco hood did it on my friends 73. Man was he...

Nick your absolutely right. the gov actually bought up all the 9mm ammo they could get their hands on a couple years ago. Container loads for the homeland security. What a scam, more like enforcers of the gov agenda. Then this nutcase goes off in Isla Vista, adding more fuel to the fire. The big que...
