These guys would appreciate a 79 Ford Bronco. I know I do.

Elbow grease, and chrome polish will do wonders. I used to use the stuff made by Dupont, but I have not seen it latley.

I saw some stuff tonight at walmart called chrome polish and rust remover, but im not sure how well it would work. Im thinking about soaking them with vinegar the rest of the week, and then scrubbing them good this weekend. That is after i get back from NHRA races saturday.

I almost got my damaged fender off, got all but one bolt out, i was lucky enough up until that last one, where all the bolts had nut plates welded to the other side, but not the last one, and i couldn't find someone to help so it now has only one nut left to remove.

Nothing gets rust off of chrome like wet steel wool.

moronthe- Thanks. Not sure of the material she used on the door panels. Something she picked up at a fabric shop here. The arm rests are a velour material she picked up from the same place. The armrests & headliner were done in matching materials last year.

Gastrick- Those plywood bombers are real sharp !

Is that a Blackbird, Trip?

Speaking of "drug it home", I chained the 48 tonner up to half a tree and pulled it loose from the trunk and dragged to to the north 40. My boys (2 & 3 yrs old) were in the cab with me bouncing around..."Pulled tree with truck, mommy!"

Also celebrated my 5th Anniv with Mrs. Throttle. Arby's, Walmart and "Angels & Demons"...nothing fancy, but enjoyable.
