a just gonna stuff her in the Bronco or are ya gonna do some modes to it?

It's going to get resealed some new blue paint and put back in. When it gets put back in the stock exhaust manifolds will get replaced for a set of three quarter length tube headers. But that's about it. My buddy just ordered a cam and lifters for his 4:16 and he was pulled 5 to 6 months before he sees it. If I want to do any supporting mods it'll happen later
 
Its got a bath. Didnt help much. It has really leaky valve covers Hahahaha. Also replaced another piece of striping!!

Stripes look good.
Are you cutting these by hand, or on a vinyl cutter, or were you able to order them?

I was able to order this kit from a place called Phoenix graphics. They do a bunch of old school striping for pretty much any car you can think of. They're pretty close, there's a couple of them that I have put on that have been a little bit different shaped but nothing too major. I actually got a bunch more put on this morning

Looks great![cl[cl How did you remove the old decals? I see a lot of dust, just wondering about your technique without hurting the paint. I know it was a bear removing 20 yr old decals from my motorhome, hard not to damage the fibreglas gel coat...

I used a majic eraser wheel. Goes on a drill. It feels like a pencil eraser. Works really well. I bought cheap ones on Amazon cuz I was not sure how well it was going to work. I know 3M makes some really expensive ones. But these seem to be doing the trick. They remove the glue and the decal without damaging the paint at all. We'll see how it works on the other side with less

I used the same thing, got mine off of eBay. Takes a minute, but it takes them right off.

It took me probably 20 minutes to get the big decal off right under the window. It's 6 in wide and spots and it was 6 feet long. Way easier than doing it with a heat gun and adhesive remover LOL

I started out using my battery drill. Found out my old Black and Decker 120v plug in drill worked better, was a lot faster. I would run it one way a while, then reverse it so it would wear smooth. Still didn't use 1/2 of the wheel on all my lettering and graphics.
