    Hey thank you. It was without a doubt a very long build. Original rebuilt motor stroked to a 408 with Original rebuilt HD C7 transmission. It is a beast.

    Great work! My son found a 1986 Bronco XLT with a 351W just seating outside for 10 years and got it for $100... Despite the harsh conditions she survived with minimal rust and this is the kind of work we want to do on the XLT.. Thank you for posting!

Noticed you also changed its wheels. Ours have the chrome partially gone;I wonder if it worth have them cleaned then silver powder coat them or buy new wheels...

    Yeah they were and no one understands that. It was a farm rig and could pull hard. That 351M was a workhorse. Now this has it’s original drive train but beefed up to 408 with Mild torque cam, 2400 stall heavy duty C6.

    Those clips are oversized body clips like fender clips. Bronco Graveyard or one of the Ford restoration sites should have them. If not look at an automotive store, maybe even Fastenal.

    Zero rust was the product. However, i used chassis saver on my Jeep frame and like the build up and sealing quality of it better. Either way, prior to paint always use a rust stop of some sort.
