Loved watching Kevin on TV back in the day.

[@NashvilleEarlyBronco]

Yep!

[@CRAWLTV]

We will be watching a lot of your content in the next few months!

[@ShawnsEarlyBroncos]

Poor Bronco... Glad you decided to keep the patina and that your Bronco has a new tailgate. Nice to have a painter friend close by :)

[@NashvilleEarlyBronco]

Seriously!

[@G.Harley.Davidson]

I just got done with my 1989 high school Bronco II 4x4 back to original, but with a 4.0 from a ranger. Looks and runs great!

[@jeremyjenks]

It is pretty cool you are working together

[@NashvilleEarlyBronco]

I love it

[@billh5592]

It was good to see Kevin doing his thing again!

[@NashvilleEarlyBronco]

Agreed!

[@johnwallstrum4354]

Sorry about the dent ! I was happy to get the 67 like 👍🏻 because I have a 67 bronco

[@NashvilleEarlyBronco]

Thanks! Nice

Awesome project, going to check out the course. Got my 14 year old daughter to watch for a bit as we got her a spray gun to customize some of her dolls. Both of us only done spray paint cans before. Glad to be walked through an option of this panel is good enough for a driver and doesn't have to get tons of body work. Can you post details on his spray gun with the digital pressure gauge towards the top is the gauge a sata Adam 2?

Hey Jon, I'm curious I have a 76' Looks just like yours (Green with patina). Did you and would you recommend a flat clear coat on the whole rig to "preserve" the patina. And if you have some rusted thru areas would you try and treat those before covering with a clear coat?

[@NashvilleEarlyBronco]

Yeah I’m thinking of doing a clear coat on it

[@Halfwheelhell]

well that accident is pretty suspect. 🤔 how did it happen, just when you happened to be filming while in reverse? the damage to the gas tank makes it look real.

[@NashvilleEarlyBronco]

It was a "hold my beer and watch this" moment. We were trying to get audio of a bronco skidding to a stop, but my brakes were overheated and wouldn't lock up. So I said, "let me try it in reverse" and lost control and went into the tree.

[@Halfwheelhell]

@@NashvilleEarlyBronco well that sucks indeed. I think your story checks out now! I would hate to think you're out there crashing your bronco to find topics when you have another you're building!

[@NashvilleEarlyBronco]

Hahaha!
