My Stroppe Baja Bronco tribute build

Please post when you get your Cactus Smasher put on! I was thinking about doing the NACHO capable bumper light bar but am interested in this as well.

Mount installed, have to do a little trimming on the plastic pieces.
Then if course install the winch... when it isn't raining.

Would be even closer to the real thing with a silver, not a white grill

lf you look up Stroppes Baja Broncos, you will see the ones I am referring to with the silver grill instead of the white. Cool pic though!

Right, but the racers had both.

Perhaps a modern spin on the polished chrome would be to run a carbonized grey stripe down the sides to emulate the chrome trim. Use a carb grey painted grille (and possibly sights) and then run the carb grey Method/Ford Performance wheels.

I suck at photoshop but would want to mock up there first. Not sure if it will look great or like too many colors.

Underground Graphics has several Bronco “Spear” stripe kits with Gloss White Aluminum (silver) color: one with one color and another with two color choices. It’s not quite Chrome, but it’s def SILVER.
I have the two color (Matte Black + GWA) as below.
Looks to me like the single color spear would look right to replicate the chrome spear separator.

Well that came out very cool! I think you got the paint pretty spot on!

The most careful rattle can job I have ever done.
Also the most expensive, that clear coat wasn't cheap... but looks to have been worth it.

While at Super Celebration Kyle Cox pulled his 75 Baja Bronco, one of 30 made the last year, over for a few pictures and a chat.
Made my day.

Looks great! I have yet to see anyone emulate the early stainless, chrome, or polished aluminum (whichever it is) grill. Would love to see that pulled off with chrome or polished aluminum wheels .

i gave it a shot - its argent silver

Got such a good reaction at Super Celebration that I did a little walk-around.
