Roger, you have made excellent progress and remain an inspiration to me to keep moving forward. You deserve a break but doesn't look like you are going to get one.
I have something to bounce off of you but I will do it by PM shortly. Don't want to hijack your thread and not exactly related, so watch for a PM from me.

Okay, so I have been a little busy over the last couple of days. Went to Ga. yesterday to take a look at the 68 for sale. Here's what they have. It's a 68 That the farther purchased for him and his 2 sons to work on. The 2 twins were really hard workers and you could tell just by looking at them and how proud they were of all the work and time they put into it. I think the project got a little to much as we all know can happen. S everything was loaded up and off I went. Once the shop is re organized the 71 project will continue with the 69. The other exciting thing is I wanted to kind of take a break from corvettes and expand my creative juices. So I was able to find this, and down in Florida these things are loved by everyone. So going to be busey and anyone who wants to stop by to help or cheer me on are all welcome.

A lot of parts to unload, so it will take some time. Some of the restored parts. The new 1967 u14 Bronco off body restore should start somewhere around August.
How far are you from Tampa? We are gonna be down there last week of June and early July doing a feasability study on living there year round. 6k property taxes a year up here gets old.

Hey Derek, I am on the east coast probably about 3.5 hours. Yup, know what you mean, we had to do the same. Always welcome if your on 95 on the east side.
These things are off the charts when I look at ones that have sold. Still need to decide if I do it stock or get a little creative. I will pull the body and have the frame and body blasted. I had them come to my house for a frame and it was great. NPD in Ocala has all of what I would need . Maybe a coyote mtr. no more like a 302 5spd if anything. We will see. I guess I cant post my progress on this forum so you'll just have to wait.
This Bronco would be the C1 of a Corvette, the 70's style the C2 and the 80's style the C3.
Of course every great vehicle has a C4 which in this case would be the Bronco II.
Keep us informed, it's no different than your other projects, besides it's your thread.

That's a great way to put it OCB. Very hard to find these in project form around.
Not sure just yet on what I will be doing with the 68. One option is to fix the broken 71 clip and set it on the 68 to match the rear. Put it on a rolling chassis and move it out. I could also put it on the 69 frame I have, get a 68/69 front clip. Remove the rear quarter panels and go back to the correct panels, motor, trans, etc..................................... .
Don't know at this point. Really wanted the front clip.

Roger ... I thought for sure you were going to build the mote!! But hey a Bronco is a nice second choice, go man go.
Today after this weeks travel I was able to finish boarding a side wall to protect the insulation better. Metal studs were 5' on center so no sheet goods really worked. Fence slats were best trimming only less then a foot. Gives it a different look as well as some wall art. Anyway cleaned up the mess after rearranging shelf's. More work space. So tomorrow I will bring in the 68 and get going on the 71 project starting with the front clip area.
