Being an old soldier, I'm usually looking for ideas how to fix up my 18 foot Floyd Bosarge skiff I acquired a couple of years ago. Its usable but I sure would love to make major upgrades to give her that beautiful senior citizen look. She's over 20 years old. However, its such a joy to watch a decent family work together. You leave me warm and fuzzy with every episode. Keep up the great work. The creator has his Angel's watching over you.
The Bronco is looking good. My 16 year old daughter just bought herself a 87 square body Chevy truck. Ms Emily I have shown my daughter that just because she's a girl doesn't mean she can't do the work on her own truck. You young lady help out dad's like me with your channel. Pretty girl working on everything, that's what these gals out here need to see. Y'all keep up the good work and God bless.
EMILY, I caught this after viewing your vids on your boat (Congrats on that, BTW) and now I'm planning on using these vids to show my daughter what girls can REALLY do! It's an uphill battle, as we live in Thailand (although I'm a native Pittsburgher) and so I must work against the cultural bias that the Thais have concerning women doing any type of mechanical or technical work. Luckily for my daughter, I'm good with tools and have a large amount of tech training in my background, as well as having an Education degree and years of experience at teaching/training. I'm hoping that seeing you will help her to get interested in doing more of the hands-on stuff that Thai culture eschews for its ladies. Keep up the great vids!
B roll of the old fenders and wheels vs. new stuff after the paint had been buffed up.... All I could think of was the "Men in Black II" scene of... "Old bustedness.... New Hotness... Old N Busted, New Hotness.." Bronco looks great and the rim/tire/fender flare combo absolutely looks killer!
Those black flares & wheels look so so good 😎 To put the icing on the cake now all you guys need is a black pre-runner style front bumper & matching rear swing - out rear bumper . 2 KC highlites on front pre-runner bumper . Black Rock sliders . This is one sweet Bronco ...love what you have done to her already 😎
Our favorite real couple returns. Have a subscriber overhauling 3-4 day paint makeover for da Bronc. There would be many volunteers. Everyone loves old Broncs. My sista had a 1976 with the half cab.
The trick to getting those "self tappings" screws in, nice and easy is, use a fresh, smaller drill bit and make pilot holes 1st. Additionally, once the flare installation site is chosen and the flare hanging with tape, put a tape line alone the edge of the flare, on the paint to protect the paint. This tape can be doubled up too. That "willet strip" is also called gimp strip, just saying. The method you chose to install it was perfect; first install the fenders, with screws not all the way in. Then put the willet in place and make a then pilot hole in the willet through the flare, so that nothing jumps around while adding the fastener. Leave the screws out a bit to have room to work (not setting the screws in all the way yet). Once the strip is on for that entire flare, then snug up all the fasteners. This is a great video! Please keep making them ..)
This brings me back to the days of when I would rotate the tires on my 89 Bronco XLT. Had 15x10 American Racing wheels with 39.5x13.50 Super Swamper Iroks. It was a PITA to do. So. Much. Weight!!!
You guys ROCK!! I absolutely love the Bronco and don't even get me started on the F450! Yes, blue blood in my veins. The one thing that keeps me coming back to your videos is your absolutely infectious smile and the fact that you're seriously into getting your hands dirty.... Beautiful shop too, I might add. I'm so jealous.... 🕶️
Mark Andrew You are Exactly right. It is not a ground-up resto, it is a Fix up off road tool of fun & exploration. It Looks Great as it is.... Like Emily !!
Came across your channel due to the Holley Sniper on the bronco. I just out one on my 85 crew cab with a 454. Started watching your vids. You guys rock! Great content and amazing projects. Keep the great work you two! I am a subscriber now!
Love the new look! That bar in the front needs to be black to carry the theme. Always learning is awesome and a great attitude to have. I apply that motorcycle riding. Always be a student! Always something to learn and nobody knows it all. New techniques and better ways to do things is always a good thing.
I ditched the self tappers and bought black aluminum pop rivets for the one i did, much better look and dont have to worry about screws coming loose getting in somebody elses tires or just looking janky. Love the vids and your drive.
You should God easy to million subscribers on this channel I watch a lot of RUclips this is not a RUclips channel this is like movie makers it's so are entertaining I don't feel like for one secon it's boring or I enjoy every minute watching The way you film the way you talk just like a movie watching I don't want to end up Really thank you
Just discovered your channel. Loving all the content and trying to binge the shows. Great to see such a knowledgeable couple who works together well. Keep the content flowing. Emily I live your enthusiasm.
A tip for getting large tires on is to put a pry bar down and roll the tire onto the pry bar, you can then use the leverage of the pry bar to easily raise and position the tire with your other hand on the top of the tire to stabilize it. ::EDIT:: i guess i should have kept watching the video, because 30 seconds later you mention it almost word for word. lol
This is my second time watching you guys and I am truly impressed with your shop. Very nice oh and I absolutely agree those flares, rims and tires oh and the polish made that truck just drop dead old school sick. Nice vision. I like the 35s over 33s because of the ride so that little truck should get up and boogie woogie zoom in any kind of mud you want to sling its way. Again great work you guys are awesome and thanks for sharing. We love y'all in Saluda NC. Looking forward to the next job
Yeah I try to keep a mindset when I’m doing hardwood flooring, try not to give up, unless I’m setting old top floor nails back into the joice because I do not have a steady hand
Quick tip for putting wheels on, sit on a milk crate or similar, chick the wheel with your feet and pick it up with your toes... Might sound ridiculous but it works!
Tire Tech Tip: If you have Go Jacks or similar rolling wheel jacks they make a great tool for lining up and installing really big and heavy wheels when in the shop. Just jack up the new wheel to match the height of the vehicle and roll it on.
Love this bronco...im starting to work on a 91 bronco...lol..she needs tons of love to...to many years folks not caring just throw it together and drive lol
Repetition is the mother of perfection. You'll have more chances to reinstall those after you rip them off on your trips. I know--- soooo encouraging. Ha! And BTW I love being a Patreon member. I love the one on one chats you guys do with me!
WOW!! Great freaking content!!! A+++!!! Betty looks killer!! You two have the best dang channel on youtube as far as I am concerned! I watch a lot of videos.. 20 minutes and 46 seconds of pure awesomeness ain't easy to do!
Emily I'm real impressed you almost picked up that tire/wheel, has to real heavy. I have 35" Toyo tires with 20" centerline wheels that weigh 125 lbs. each. I have to roll them up on steel bar to lift them up to mount. So far I've only had one flat and it was at home. I just aired it up and drove 2 miles to nearest Discount Tire and got it fixed.
I would have painted the drums black before putting the wheels on. I also cringed thinking you would scrape back on the beer taps as you stood up. It looks great so far!
I love this Bronco. Amazing transformation with the wheels and tires , really cool flares and much needed polish job, Looks awesome. I could watch Emily wrestle with them big tires all day, (lol). Can't wait to see ya'll hit the trails and having fun with it. Oh, and by the way Emily, you are one Cute Lady.
Just a suggestion if you ever put flares like that on again ,tape the whole lip and use a ink pen to lay out your holes after using a protractor to give you a depth guide line
@@flyingsparksgarage Here's an example. I searched for plastic caps for screws fender flare :) pcbolts.com/product/516-button-head-fender-flare-screw-set/
They say opposites attract. Well, I love your shop dog. Mine is a Shepherd Lab mix. he's a big 165 lb'$. He's all black and after all who's afraid of "The Big Bad Wolf?" Luv Y'all !
OMG....I wish I was there to show you guys how to do heavy Wheels and tires the easy way. Take a big pry bar lay it down on the floor, under the center of your brake rotor or drum. roll the tire up onto the pry bar now lift your rim tire combo with the pry bar and if a lugs aren't quite right, while you're lifting with the pry bar push the handle of the pry bar towards the front or the rear of the vehicle. It will turn it till it all lines up.
I dont know how I came to be watching this but I'm transfixed, Emily you have the most infectious smile, your gorgeous and your accent is wonderful. I will definitely be watching from now on ( after I catch up on the rest).
Had the same problem with my old ford 77 F250 4x4. I finally learned that one too. I still chase oil leaks all around the engine. HaHa. Those old 351 modified’s.
I would have considered using automotive bonding adhesive to attach the flairs with blind rivets in the plastic flairs only for looks. Would love to have that Bronco.

He knows I like to work!!!
:-) great team work

Don’t have a clue how this popped into my feed but I’m hooked. Lol
Me too
she's too cute , that's how we are hooked .
Thank the RUclips gods, for they too have blessed me today with this recommendation.
Same...been watching 2 hours or more a night catching up with them!

The paint and dents make it perfect. If an off-road vehicle doesn't have a few "flaws" you bought the wrong type of car.
Mark Andrew You are Exactly right. It is not a ground-up resto, it is a Fix up off road tool of fun & exploration. It Looks Great as it is.... Like Emily !!
Picked up an older Hot Rod Magazine and saw an article about this channel. I am not disappointed.
Thanks for showing me how to put these flares on your Bronco. Now I need to do this part on mine.
This mod is awesome. Those wheels and fender flares are great. Emily, this is outstanding work! Y’all rock.
Came across your channel due to the Holley Sniper on the bronco. I just out one on my 85 crew cab with a 454. Started watching your vids. You guys rock! Great content and amazing projects. Keep the great work you two! I am a subscriber now!
I like the way the shiny screw heads look. I'm sure it'll look good painted too.
For the first time ever I have found a new remake that does the original justice. Talking about the new 2021 Bronco.
Love the new look! That bar in the front needs to be black to carry the theme. Always learning is awesome and a great attitude to have. I apply that motorcycle riding. Always be a student! Always something to learn and nobody knows it all. New techniques and better ways to do things is always a good thing.
Love your choice of wheels & tires, & the flares are awesome, great job, great video

Up here in the land of Lincoln those screws wouldn't last long ... Salt Winter. The flares are for covering up the rust up here. 😎

Those wheel and tires are smoke n. Your right. Wheels and tires first. Everything else fallows. Awesome!!!!
This Bronco build just keeps getting better and better!!!!
Put your gloves your going to ruin your hands
Can't wait to see a full polishing. Looks great.
She has got to be the most down home pretty woman on RUclips! She has an amazing personality to top it off!
I have to agree,her husband is a lucky guy
With those Tires & Wheels ,,Then the Flair's...OMG Looks Amazing !!! What a Great Look !!!!

looks great! maybe a hardware store run to get black self tapping screws.
Its cause of this channel I started doing my own repairs. Thanks flying sparks for all the great content.
That’s too cool!!!
Yeah I try to keep a mindset when I’m doing hardwood flooring, try not to give up, unless I’m setting old top floor nails back into the joice because I do not have a steady hand

I'd buff that paint out and roll with it, I think it looks great without painting it. The wheels, tires and flares, are perfect!
infectious smile. Emily is the one to watch 100%. knows her stuff and can handle it too . all while being absolute stunning
Sure appreciate that!!
Love this bronco...im starting to work on a 91 bronco...lol..she needs tons of love to...to many years folks not caring just throw it together and drive lol
Them fender flairs look amazing Emily @Flying Sparks Garage
Repetition is the mother of perfection. You'll have more chances to reinstall those after you rip them off on your trips. I know--- soooo encouraging. Ha! And BTW I love being a Patreon member. I love the one on one chats you guys do with me!
I developed that same method for installing semi wheels when I was working on them. Still use it on heavy pickup wheels at the dealership I work at.
I like the darker flares without being painted .......cool..........
In Australia, we call all those imperfections CHARACTER. Enjoy the history.Cheers Rick...
WOW!! Great freaking content!!! A+++!!! Betty looks killer!! You two have the best dang channel on youtube as far as I am concerned! I watch a lot of videos.. 20 minutes and 46 seconds of pure awesomeness ain't easy to do!
Sure do appreciate it!!! Share it with all your friends!! 🥰🙏🏼
Emily I'm real impressed you almost picked up that tire/wheel, has to real heavy. I have 35" Toyo tires with 20" centerline wheels that weigh 125 lbs. each.

You are weak. Eat Meat ,become a carnivore .
Up grade to disc brakes, I had problems with my drum brakes when I crossed streams.
I must say Ur one smart young lady and doing great work in joy watching y’all’s viedos
to install a tire, i put both ankles under the tire then push upwards and use my hands to lin e the bolts/studs, that way its matter of seconds
Whole different look now!! Really like it. You did a good Jerb for sure
The tires/rims and the flares are awesome. Great job on the paint.👍👍
Morning Emily!!!!!!!❤️ You poor kid, that wheel and tire assembly kicked your butt at the beginning of the video. You rock!!
Stunning love the new tire and rim package beastly @Flying Sparks Garage
I would have painted the drums black before putting the wheels on.
I also cringed thinking you would scrape back on the beer taps as you stood up.
It looks great so far!

You did a very good job Emily , looks nice. Good video.
I love your Keezer work bench!
Great work on the Bronco Emily, looks awesome. I hope you have better luck with the X3s than I did on my Power Wagon.
Thanks!! We run the X3s on our Silverado and love them!
Just a suggestion if you ever put flares like that on again ,tape the whole lip and use a ink pen to lay out your holes after using a protractor to give you a depth guide line
That's cool. It's really tough to find a 60's bronco that isn't rusted up or crashed.
Only wish my wife was into wrenching. I love watching y’all team work. But I did get my wife to go mud bogging and she wants to go again.
The Bronco looks awesome. Your doin a killer job.
Hello flying spark garage I like your drag racing videos Emily I think Roxy is a nice looking race car
Me personally, I would use stainless screws and not paint them or the flairs. Makes the red stand out better. Love the projects you guys do
You can buy black plastic caps to pop over the heads of the screws, flares like that usually come with the caps.
Ah, need to find some!
@@flyingsparksgarage Here's an example. I searched for plastic caps for screws fender flare :)
pcbolts.com/product/516-button-head-fender-flare-screw-set/
Looks great, wheels look great, paint polish up well, some times you can’t afford to do everything so polish what she’s got .
Love the Bronco.
I had one maybe 20 years ago.
Looking great with those tires.
Good job
Great work on the Bronco
Painting the grill and headlight holes satin black would tie into the new fender flares.
The Bronco looks great. Good job.
They say opposites attract. Well, I love your shop dog. Mine is a Shepherd Lab mix. he's a big 165 lb'$. He's all black and after all who's afraid of "The Big Bad Wolf?" Luv Y'all !

Almost ready to visit the NEW Bronco that just came out. Yahoo!!!
Ummm the blower in background at 18:45 would be just SICK on the bronco!
I'm a big fan of that style bronco and even a bigger fan of Emily, she kicks ass and looks awesome doing it 😁👍
I dont know how I came to be watching this but I'm transfixed, Emily you have the most infectious smile, your gorgeous and your accent is wonderful. I will definitely be watching from now on ( after I catch up on the rest).
Love the older set of wheels way better. Cool Bronco.
Your bronco now looks exactly like mine. 🐎
Yee haaa!!! You're back missed you and your messed up words..... I can now watch you all again whilst in self isolation.
Glad to see yall back thank you for the great content
Dang that's a clean old bronco, no rust anywhere. We don't find those here in iowa.
And they're worth a ton out here in, Nazifornia.
Love watching her. Priceless. First saw her when they bought the big Bayliner for $5G’s.
Super cool love the flares! One of my favorite year Broncos. I had a 86 full size. It had what the called the Bull Nose.
Brake cleaner on the floor is what my guys use to move 180# + forklift tires. Line it up and slide it in.
Had the same problem with my old ford 77 F250 4x4. I finally learned that one too. I still chase oil leaks all around the engine. HaHa. Those old 351 modified’s.
I would have considered using automotive bonding adhesive to attach the flairs with blind rivets in the plastic flairs only for looks. Would love to have that Bronco.
A guy I know used to race one (302/3 in the tree) in mud bogs, he done pretty well to.
The Bronco looks fab
I. Think. It. Looks. Really. Good I. Injoy. Watching. You. And. Your. Husband s. Show. Keep. Up. The. Great. Work
**WE LOVE the shirt!!!**
Looks good top job. Where the safety glasses prescription. There a good set.👍😉👍💅
Hello from Michigan I just subscribed to your channel and those fender flares and wheels and tires look great on that bronco fantastic job sweetie.
I like the black with the red
Would paint them black. Great job and you look great Emily
Totally agree with the whole wheel/tyre thing making the look of a build.
Bronco life!! So true. Love your truck
You can do it Sweetie just dnt put to much pressure on Drill let it Drill itself. You doing Great Job for not noing n learning. Awesome Sweetie. Ciao
Mom, wife, geared and cute. Jackpot!
You guys should come up to the Bronco Takeover when you get it “done”.
So nice looking Bronco, I bet it runs as good as it looks
