That '66 was 100% stock when I bought it... right down to the 3 on the tree.

Thank you. With your help and this thread, it seems OEM was white or Argent silver only https://classicbroncos.com/forums/showthread.php?t=258837
On trailer to go get an alignment and bikini top. Decided to plasti dip - first time in my life - to see how to tone it down color wise...to practice.
Talk about ghetto.... LOL
That's likely the score of the year in my book.
Had a great time at the dunes

Thanks! Hope the profit gets me back in a Rio yellow NSX again
Full roll cage is bolt on
debating throwing bikini top on top or taking whole cage off
In reply to mr2s2000elise :
Bikini top!

I think I am leaning that way, ROI seems best. If I take cage off, its $4k for a new HT.
Other things:
1) Wipers, yes or no?
2)Front grille body color or not
3) add rear seat or not
In reply to mr2s2000elise :
1.) Maybe? Not a lot of a pint with the bikini top, BUT it could make registration difficult without them.
2.) Not body color. The argent if you are doing a black top or white if you got the khaki one.
3.) Yes! Really you should do all the seats and have regular seat belts in it. Should be able to sell the harnesses and over the top buckets to recoup quite a bit.

Little bit more work being done today
You went a lot deeper into that than I would have. I would have already flipped it for $35K and called it a day.
I have two sets of bumpers if you're interested.... one set of modified stock chrome and a set of heavy duty steel bumpers. Let me know if interested in either!
