Introducing: Largo the Retro-Mod 2-Door Bronco

[sgriffin911]

Awesome,Well done. May I ask what’s under the trap next to the Very sharp looking OBX

I knew someone was gonna ask. This is what's under the cover, husband's '73 Bronco hunting truck(it still needs some work, wrap is new that's why it's covered), the garage stores his '65 Mustang & my '64 Falcon convertible. We are Ford people. :

Where did you buy the tire cover from..? Thanks

Amazon after searching for covers that fit 35". Here's the link https://smile.amazon.com/gp/your-account/order-history/ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_search?opt=ab&search=tire

Really well done. I'm most curious about the black piece on the B pillar. I have a white hard top from adv coming in nov dec jan and I'm afraid that black piece is going to stand out like a sore thumb. I'm going to use your references, chase down the materials, and try to wrap this piece myself. I don't know what I'm doing but I have youtube.

And as many have replied, the grille is perfecto. That bezel effect is the way to go. I'm assuming you had a body shop paint it. Do you have any cost number for just painting the grille?

To pile on to a couple other wheel comments. I have white wheels and they are a little bit of a pain to keep clean. I'm guessing my dirt situation might not be as bad as yours, but they do look way better right after I clean them. Someone else mentioned chrome wheels and I agree that this would be killer on your rig. I saw another VB with the retro kidney chrome wheels (like US Mags) and it's about the best retro look I have seen.

Thanks for posting. It looks great. And it's inspiring.

I had the B pillar wrapped too after seeing other leave it black, and it looked out of place. My wrap guy left the window hinges black because the shape is odd and he was afraid it wouldn't stick well there. Good luck, I did not watch it being done, but there are many youtubes.

The Grill is wrapped as well in the same white. Total cost for all of the wrap $1500. What no one has noticed, which is good, it the entire hood is wrapped in the same blue as the grill, along with the backs of the mirrors and the pinch weld. I also had the blue put on the inside door paint as a protector.

Wheels might come later, I actually like these. I was going for a blend of retro & modern not a total retro.

Thanks for the input!

Oh, 1500 for all that wrapping? I'm gonna find a local wrap guy then.

Interesting approach with all that extra wrapping. I like it. You sure can't see the difference on the hood in the pictures.

You can't tell in person either, the match is amazing. Is yours VB? If so this is the wrap: KPMF K75400 Gloss Indulgent Blue K75405. It was out of stock in the US, but I found it on Amazon from a Canada distributor https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TWL3Q5D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

So they don't sand or scuff up anything to make the wrap stick? If not, that's pretty cool. Never had it done before, and haven't really gotten serious about looking into it, just yet.

I'm not the first, and surely won't be the last to add a retro feel to my Bronco. Largo's exterior is complete and I wanted to share.

Thank you to all the members that have posted their mods, I took inspiration from you!!

Going white on the roof was always the plan to reduce heat. Our summers are scorching hot!!

Custom designed wrap was done by Chance at Ride Life Industries https://www.ridelifeindustries.xyz/color-change-wraps

Before you come at me, my color scheme is White/Velocity Blue/Black. I do have a bimini top & tailgate table that came with her, but those are awaiting install.

Happy viewing!!

Looks more than pretty good, looks fantastic.

Nope, to paint I imagine the surface would need prepping. For the wrap, several good cleanings(soap & water) was all that was needed.

I’m new school when it comes to how I style my personal Bronco but this is far and away the best retro build I’ve come across. Congrats

The really funny part is it's just the 2 of us with 8 vehicles.

Great look, well done.

Where did the rocker panel stripe with the retro script come from ?
