Thanks David!  If I am going to dish out some serious cash for wheels, and just wheels alone, why would I want to make "disappear".  I want them to stand out and be noticed!  We never paint our wheels.  We had a place one town over that sold wheel covers real cheap for a set of four!  He now does only paving.

For those of us that were, or maybe still, financially challenged the black wheels with the PEP Boys baby moon hub caps and narrow white walls was sort of the style for a while.

We didn't have a PEP Boys until about 10+ years ago and now all the sell are tires or service your vehicles.

I got the Bronco up on 4 wheels! Now to paint the top Gloss Black and the hood and body with the Metallic Orange.

Thanks Carl!  Now to motivate myself to even more painting.  This kit has very little chrome, so it is mostly paint!

I painted the Bronco today along with the hood and roof. Now to let this dry and in a few days I'll add a couple coats of clear to the body and then final assembly!

Thanks Carl!

I added some detail to the grille, lights and front bumper that had enthused me from a picture on Google Images. I used the body color on the grille letters, headlights and the front bumper for a different look.

Someone, somewhere suggested that I should paint the seat panels to help make the interior pop! I thought about it since I was going for a stock look. That all changed when I choose a non-stock color for the body and then I painted the grille letters and the front tow hooks with that color. It looks pretty good.
