Is there anything special you spray the inside to get rid of the mouse urine smell ? Years ago my dad had a 67 Ford Mustang that was sitting in his backyard. When we were going to restore it, it was full of mouse droppings and reeked of urine!!!!!! YUCK

[@titansrule72]

damn, ive always wanted to see you do a classic bronco.

[@joevk6274]

Considering the Bronco's age and how long it was sitting, it's in incredibly good shape. The fact that the engine isn't missing all of it's paint is amazing. Between my dad, my grandpa, and my uncles, I spent my entire childhood riding around in those old dent side Fords, so this Chevy boy loves them.

[@rebekahsearcy8986]

My grandad had an old truck he called sarge. He and my grandma currently have a 1966 dodge charger sitting in their garage right now. They restored that car together along with some help from friends and family. They made an entire video about it. I was very young when they did it.

[@bunnygirlerika9489]

Deffently some quality paint on this bronco. The rust parts and larger scratches aside, that paint was still amazing shape once cleaned up. I don't think the paint on many newer vehicles would hold as long.

Another Friday with coffee and The Detail Geek and an awesome transformation

[@CarCrazy24]

Great detail, super satisfying. Hope the owner decides to restore it and keep it original, as that Bronze color combo is stunning. I love green as much as anyone, but it would be a disservice to a truck as unique as this. Even the seats still had life in them! OEM all the way!

[@gregorymauldin5988]

I was amazed with how the hood turned out. I was expecting a bunch of rust underneath all that goop on there. I'm also wondering if we'll ever see the results of any of these restorations. Too many times people have great intentions when they tackle a project such as these abandoned cars you have been detailing recently, but once they get into the process, they realize what a monumental task it is and abandon it once again.

[@TheDetailGeek]

Not going to lie...that's what I see happening with this one. Getting it running again is one thing, but to get it fixed enough to get safetied so it can even drive is another. Then actually getting it restored. It's a monumental amount of work for one person.....but I hope I'm wrong because it would really be a sweet ride all fixed up!

[@michaeljaques77]

@@TheDetailGeek Other than some sort of sentimental value and bottomless pockets, I can't see this Bronco being worth a restoration financially. Still you give it your best and that's admirable!
