Still can’t get over how awesome all the interior panels and trim turned out! The bronco is really coming together 🤟Always a pleasure working with you guys😎

Glad you liked it!

[@dannass135]

Just an FYI, the ashtrays are removable from the housing by pressing down on the round tab inside.

[@minnesotatomcat]

I’m guessing the bronco has seen the last of high speed dirt tracks and catching air off jumps 😂 that’s the problem with spending all the time and money on fixing one up really nice, a guy gets afraid of putting that first blemish in it. Awesome build brother! 👍

[@shuttlepilot_]

JuiceBox is by far my favorite series. You got an Ocean's Eleven vibe going strong in this episode. That transition at 36:07 was for all the chips. So much work went into making this interior an epic restoration. Thanks again for taking us along, here we go.

Great to see Aaron in a video. And a hoot to watch rich have some help in the shop they work great together

[@xeroinfinity]

For plastic repairs Ive found paperclips work great. Unbend it so you still have the big oval loop, heat it up and push it into the plastic. Then after a couple of those imbedded into the plastic i like to cover it with two part plastic epoxy for extra strength. Ive never had any luck with just plastic welding/melting. And the paperclip method has worked 99% of the time. Its lookin great guys!

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

Great idea! I will try that on a couple projects I have going.

[@xeroinfinity]

@@Watchyn_Yarwood , Ive been using this method since the early 90s. And all those fixes are still holding up today. It really saved my a$$ when i couldnt find a replacement panel/part for myself and hundreds of customers.

First time I’m really getting a clear sense of the details on your builds. Different than install of big heavy components or body panel work. Nice!

[@coryc3157]

When welding plastics I’ve used stainless steel mesh screen. Cut it into the shape you need and work it in with the iron on the backside. That adds a bunch of strength.

I have had good luck using polyvance fiber flex for plastic repairs. Their system works really well, and they have good tutorial videos. they also cover how to prep for paint. Fixed some severely damaged plastic bumpers that are unobtainable.

I work in printing, I can tell you that the browns are probably the hardest colors to match, so many variations not to mention sheens that change how the sun hits it and changes color perception

[@david929190]

Turned out great. Liked the how to on the interior paint

[@theblackguytv9891]

When I dyed my cousin's 93 Mustang interior plastics black to match the car I used the "Bulldog" adhesion promoter along with the SEM black aerosol and I couldn't have been happier with the results. Red Scotch Brite and dawn dish soap. It seems like such a daunting process until you actually do it and you're like "Oh that's easy" lol. The interior looks amazing well done guys!

[@timothymilam732]

I've refurbished several 60's model cars and trucks, and I found that in the areas that are next to impossible to get any type of sound mat into, that the 3M undercoating in the spray can works great especially if you've got everything out of your doors. Down in the radius of rocker panels, cabs that have the radius corners all the way down to the small openings for the lower cab corners. Even inside the rear quarters of fastback mustangs over the wheel wells, and inside the panel where the factory louvers are that sometimes leak even though they have a drain with a hose that extends below the rocker panels on each side. Just remember to tape off the weep holes and any drainage slots well, because it will fill them if you make 2 to 3 coats to really get the tinny rattles and harmonic vibration out if obscure places that are hard to get anything into do proper jobs Spray 3 coats in a 68 fastback mustangs doors, and quarter panels, and I swear that your closing the doors on a Maybach or silver ghost either one they're dead solid no rattling just solid thud.

[@kevinfrawley6098]

What a awesome colab

[@KendrasEdge757]

ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL job brother!! That bronco is straight sexy!!! They MOST CERTAINLY DO NOT make them like they used too!! Planned obsolescence is the motto of modern car manufacturers, outside of most Toyota and Honda’s anyways. With all that I mentioned in this comment is why I traded-in my 2015 F2FIDDY 6.7 PowerStroke 58k miles w/an 8” BDS Suspension lift on 38’s in on my ‘new to me’ 2021 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off-road Premium w/Predator Package 33k miles. It will run forever with proper & timely maintenance done. This bronco is crazy beautiful!! Y’all straight killed it with this bronco!!! God bless~

[@DaFishMan99]

Watching the ash trays be cleaned, I'd recommend a ultrasonic cleaner. I don't know what it'll do to plastic, but I bought a cheap one from ebay and so far am 6 for 6 on cleaning carbs without dissasembly on old sitting for years motorbikes, and getting a good runner. Lifts rust off as nice as you like, and with vinegar in the mix, it'll strip the gold looking finish off links/arms very quickly, leaves totally bare metal

[@toddmccarter45]

[@anomamos9095]

There’s a Duplicolor vinyl and cloth paint that I have had very good luck with changing and refreshing plastic trim with. To get a good coat make sure the material is warm but not hot to touch. You can get a texture by holding the can too far away to get a splatter coat let dry and do a proper coat. Sometimes you can weld plastic with paint thinner or acetone but be careful as it can utterly destroy some plastic.

[@caveone-365]

Using a chunk of fine stainless mesh overlapping the back of the crack to reinforce it is what I do when I plastic weld a cracked part back together. It'll be much stronger than the unbroken portion of the material. I've dyed a few interiors before and have had relatively good luck with both the SEM and the VHT Penetrating Color Dye. If you prep the parts correctly, use enough coats and adhere to the directions on the can it'll come out great in my experience. When comparing the two brands/ products, I personally prefer the VHT stuff and it was almost impossible to tell the difference between an OEM part vs. the parts that I dyed. Many years later and it's still holding up very well. You can even do the carpet with enough cans/ coats, and using a brush to move the 'pyle' of the carpet around in between coats. The brushing also keeps the carpet from getting 'crispy/ caked with dye.' Simple Green is one of my favorite cleaners to get the vinyl/ leather/ plastic, etc clean and ready to dye while not leaving any residue behind. Of course you can use lacquer thinner too, but the Simple Green smells quite a bit better 👍

[@buckodonnghaile4309]

A roller and a free can of paint from the dump will work in a pinch. Also, keeping me as far away from your project helps

[@DeadFlanders]

Used SEM on my Geo Tracker. So far it's holding up well, but I was worried about the durability as well. I found that I could scratch it on my test pieces as you showed.. also it says it is alcohol soluble, so I always worry that some day I'll accidentally have a cleaner with alcohol in it and it will take off the finish. Wish I would have seen this first, that leather dye seems perfect. Oh well, with the SEM stuff I can always break out the spray can and touch it up if I need.

[@hughmc5419]

A Sema bound Bronco, IE: Juicebox, its living a good second life. When you going to bring that Apache back, & take it for a cruise, does it go to Sema as your daily driver. KZbin guys living the life. Hugh McSheffrey.

[@mickdog2]

my plastic welding looks just the same! awesome

[@BigBlueMotors]

Try bedliner in a hvlp gun, thinned with some adhesion promotor. There's a video posted on KZbin on how to do it right, so that the bedliner will stick. Cleaning is important for the paint to stick to the plastic. Looking good.

[@chucksmith4413]

Hi Rich & Aaron… I've had really good success using Phosphoric Acid as a rust converter (Klean-Strip Concrete & Metal Prep or Ospho) instead of vinegar. Phosphoric acid, H3PO4 (85% aqueous orthophosphoric acid)... coverts red iron oxide rust to a black, inert layer of iron phosphate. Just scuff up the rust with an abrasive pad, paint on the Phosphoric Acid with a cheap chip brush, then let it turn black. When the rust turns black, wash it off with water and dry it off. Topcoat the item with some rust converting primer. I would think with all salty roads in your neck of the woods that Phosphoric Acid would be available by the 50 gallon drum or tanker truck 😉.

[@TASTYTREATSPLS]

Surprised you didn't have better luck with the colorcoat. Did that on two 4th gen rams to get the top half black to match the lower half and it's held up amazingly well except for the part of the visor that clips in. Stoked you found a solution for you!

[@Nairod2]

Your bronco gives me determination to finish mine, also now I understand why the brakes between videos. Now I know what you show in a video is probably a 2 months time-lapse of getting the stuff and actually doing the work.

I recently purchased a theft recovery salvage branded 4runner. One of the required repairs was to replace the missing rear passenger headrest. Toyota wanted over 900 canadian for it. I purchased a salvage one for 50 and spent 30 on die. Nobody has noticed it isn't the stock unit

[@Brightleaf_Auto]

Only thing I may would change would be tan bedliner in the back to kinda mimic the carpet. The black just kinda sticks out.

[@robbobsjobs8456]

I used Dupli-color with adhesion promoter, not to bad but does wear off in high trafficking spots. And wet mud will destroy it. I will try your product on a few key piece's and see how they hold up. On my channel i have a few videos on the process

[@denver_cadcon4848]

Beautiful job, bullnose are my favorite ford trucks. My parents had an 86 F250 when I was young. Are you guys keeping this manual? It looks like it has the pedals for it? Kinda confusing with no stick or a column shifter for an auto lol

[@user-cu1lv4ov5w]

Looking good, how did you go about putting the double din radio in. Is that a adapter or did you make it, I have a 85 and can’t find an adapter anywhere that looks clean like yours

[@towboatjeff]

Probably one of the nicest broncos there is. But I'd go with tan spray in bedliner instead of the black to blend in to the interior better.

Try a airbrush on the dye next time, will use less and get better coverage, also those leather dye places sell texturizer for simulating plastic textures and also grin pads to imprint texture on various surfaces.
