I have been watching numerous videos online for assembling the Bronco bodies. No where have I seen a closeup of how the "A" pillar is fitted up to the cowl at the top. Could you please show a close up of how it goes together especially the area where the curve at the top fits to the windshield support and the kick panel. I don't have another Bronco to look at so I'm at a bit of a loss. Also please supply some measurements. Thank you.
I found that on Early Bronco Drivers, it was a post provided by Olvin Houston Jan 24 2021. , It worked great. The bronco is still on it at the paint shop. I loaded everything on a car trailer, fine as kind. When it comes back I will lift it straight up using the cherry picker. Then I will move dolly out of the way and slide the frame under it keeping the frame as low as I can. I will post it at that time. If you cant find that post I have it saved on my facebook, Carmen Brown. Cheers buddy.
Pretty good content, Kinda wondering why you don't start with the striker posts and build from those. Those are fixed in their location to the seat platform. Then the rockers butted to them dictate where the lower end of the hinge posts need to be. Both posts should be parallel and perpendicular to the floor, right? Set them accordingly then work the upper and lower cowl, fenders, hood and grille into the picture making minor adjustments as you go.
Thank you, that seems like a good idea but i actually had to trim a quarter inch off the rockers, seems like the parts always need work. It’s funny, you start with a plan like you mentioned and then suddenly your taking things apart because they didn’t line up properly, hope you enjoy, Im going to send another video out shortly, the body is at the paint shop so I’m spending a lot of time putting the chassis together. Cheers.
Sorry I misunderstood. Yes I bought the entire kit from wild horses. Really it’s just a parts list. I thought you were asking if I bought a body already complete.

Carmen, where did you buy your panels from?
Everything came from wild horses. Can you respond that you received this as I’m never sure if my responses actually make it out or not.
Did you buy the bronco in a box kit?
No it was piece by peice
Any reason you didn’t just get the kit with everything in it to build the body?
