It's a Ford. Sadly, I'm still proud of it.
My brother in law is a big ford guy. I made the mistake of agreeing to re do a 73 Bronco for him. What do you guys think?

I think you ought to "tape on a few Chevy, or better yet, GMC symbols on it to show it is at least trying.

Nice job ...at least he is "extended" family with Ford tastes......

Hmmm? Not a big fan of Fords, especially on a Chevy forum. Don't know what possessed you but you could check on getting some professional help.

I am not a Ford guy, but I have always liked those old Broncos, one with a small block Chevy would be nice.

Well the big differences between the Ford guys I know and Chevy guys. Most Ford guys "I know" usually buy bolt on, or have someone fix it for them "I think they are scared to get dirty". Chevy guys will lay in mud in a junk yard to mix and match diffent parts to make a custom ride without maxing out credit cards. Or Chevy guys build it from scratch. Thats why MOST Chevy guys can respect hard work on no matter what the vehicle.

Thats a cool rig. And this is the perfect place for it. Hence the word
"Alternate".

Wow... really? Few things in life are that black and white.

Sweeping generalizations like this leave me scratching my head
