Indeed, mind taking some pictures of it and posting them in this thread when Mr. Hinesley has it loaded and is headed out?

Mr. Hinesley arrived with it today at 1:30 pm (cst) just after church!

I'll post the photos of it as soon as I get them developed by Wal-Mart.



Just curious, has anyone ever mounted a DeLorean Body onto a Bronco II Frame? The DeLorean wheelbase appears to be 95in whereas the Bronco II is 94in... with a few modifications to the DeLorean bodytub and the Bronco II frame it should be a perfect fit.

Yep. Just a few modifications and that will bolt right up under a DeLorean underbody.

Thanks, good to know - there's an old Bronco II 4x4 frame in a junkyard not to far from me for like $150 and with a few modifications my old 460 V-8 engine and tranny (from a 1993 F350) should easily mount on it.

I saw a few threads about DeLoreans with Ford engines - with mine included how many would it make? I know the old Bricklins had the 351w in them, just curious to see how many members here have placed Ford engines (and what size?) in their DeLoreans.

wait.. film? You're going to need a digital camera man, 1 hour photo stuff and I know wal mart screws up negatives like no tomorrow. Cut out the middle man and stupid cost. 1 semester of photography class(film) taught me that! Go digital!

Yeah, but no worries - I'll be filming the build process with a Canon XL-1S like I did with my General Lee build and make monthly webisodes for all the see.

The 1988 Bronco II 4x4 donor arrived today... and there was a lot more there than I had expected (practically complete with a title) it's a 2.9L v6 4x4! Guess my 460 v8 will have to wait for anther project to be installed in.



And yes, for anyone interested, the body is for sale on eBay:
