Here is my most recent CC-01 project, a natural project which I am sure others are doing as well, the new Ford Bronco shell on a Pajero. My parents had a 69 Bronco when i was kid and we drove most of the serious trails in the western USA with it. I wanted only to reference that old Bronco in a fun way since the Tamiya Version has the cut fenders that many off roaders do to the old Broncos I couldn't easily replicate the old guy. Cost is becoming a huge factor in my builds and I have a lot left to do but this is among the lowest cost trucks I've ever done and already one of my favorites. I have a lot left to do but I don't plan to pimp it out, I want it to look like a fairly stock truck. So far I have wet sanded the lexan to give a matte look and the roof is painted on inside and outside. I cut the window tint out and will fit a simple interior at some point. The real Bronco picks are on the Famous Black Bear Road in Colorado back in 1980 when I was a 4 year old.

Very cool Seth and your reference pics are the best. I am sure it brought back a ton of memories. I sure wish I had some good photos like that from my childhood.

Thanks guys, for the ref pics I set up the slide projector and took pics of them with my digital camera, one day I will transfer a lot of our old off roading pictures to digital. The bumper is made by Montanascaledesigns.com or MSD and is a solid chunk of alloy much stronger than the rest of truck lol!

Oh, WOW! That one is a super looking scale Bronco. One of the most exciting vehicles in the history of off-rading. You did such an amazing job! How I'd wish Tamiya to make a hard version of the Bronco body.
def4x4
I thought, it coudt be also Wyoming on the road lol!
archway66

Wyoming
Thanks guys, yes I spent most of my weekends as a kid in the mountains with my parents hiking, camping or bouncing around in the back of an old school 4x4
Manuspain
simple and perfect. What a beauty.
highflyer
Flawless looking machine. Love the old pics
SMOKE-DOG
Nice work Wyo. I agree, you need to extend the rear a lil bit. Waiting for action shots.
Crash Cramer
So Seth, you didn't answer before, but I will ask again, is this body from Tamiya or someone else?? Thanks again for the shots. Hopefully you and James can go get it dirty.
technical.burP
Extremely nice result.
Wyoming
Sorry Chris, yes this is the new Tamiya 73 Ford bronco body from the newest CR-01 crawler. It is really a nicely done piece of lexan and is much more faithful to the short narrow look of the Bronco than the HPi version and this has a real plastic grille, mirrors and head and tailight buckets for leds. It would have been cooler in styrene but for crawling and for how most people drive lexan is a much better compromise.

Absolutely love it! The dull finish really makes it look time period correct.

Great stuff Seth! Really love the blue color and those vintage pics are cool. Nice story and great car. I have always loved the Bronco.

Oh boy Wyoming. That is boring. EVERY model you are making looks better and more than perfect. like this one does. try to mak an ugly one. sp maybe you will get some negative feedback ? some kind ofg new expirience ? Now honest my friend. It is a shame to see what someone can create out of nothing. You also have just 2 hands and maybe at least 10 fingers but the result. Gosh. a real real looking model. Congratulations my friend. Real more than perfect. - MARC
