with the 40 + inches of snow we had here in the last week. I hate snow , but love seeing the '66 /'84 Bronco out enjoying it. We went everywhere we wanted to go . . and looking cool at the same time.

The grill looks nice on there

thats the best lookin eb grill iv ever seen on a b2

 

[SnC RangeR]

chop tha top!

 

[PetesPonies]

The top will not be chopped. However, I will be painting the top white to look like it lifts off. I included a rear pic to see the white letter rear hatch and bumper. Its not a daily driver per se . . but close to it. Also you can see the early Bronco script on the front fender.

 

[Shran]

That is sweet! I think we need more pics.

 

[PetesPonies]

I appreciate the compliments. Don't really have too many more pics. I will certainly show you more as I paint it more, but that won't happen until spring or summer.I'll take some engine shots soon . . think it came out real nice when I did those mods.

U know it amazing how much BII's look like EB's anyways, with a little persuasion they look a lot like em.

Is that on a EB frame or something?

 

[PetesPonies]

No, its a fairly stock '84 Bronco II. I did some engine mods to remove the computer and original carb. I added headers and 2 1/2 exhaust . . otherwise stock. Its just an early Grille fitted to the BII opening . . and some other things painted white as well.

Looks good.

Might be just me but there is something about the EB grill swaps that just looks unfinished. Can't put my finger on it. Might be because it looks out of porportion, as in the grill is too large.

I think it looks cool. I personally think if the grill was the same color as the body and leave the trim around the lights white it might be cool. but i do like it

 

[PetesPonies]

Well Copy . the facts don't back you up . . dimensionally the early Bronco and Bronco II are very, very close in size. Even the front end dimensions are about the same, the grille fits easily.

 

[PetesPonies]

Well I personally like the old grille to stand out. Many back them were either white or chrome. As I carry the white theme around the truck, giving it the vintage look ( I have done the same with an old Ranger as well ) I see the grille needing to be white as well. A black grille would not stand out at all. Might as well painted a stock grille black . . . man would that have been easier

I love that rig! I really like all the "little" things about it, looks real good, man.

To me the front looks too sunken in and there is too much white on the grill making it look Huge.

I like the way mine looks. To me it looks proportionate. Maybe because I've had to look at mine every day and it's grown on me.
