Looks great... Love those Bronco's
Just got to say, how long do you think the gas tank is going to survive?
2 weeks?

Large number of soft leafs. Definitely not sprung heavySeriously bad-ass for sure I can't imagine the cost, but I'd sure love to own one.
One year build time frame, holy patience
Curious, this thing is rear sprung like a F-550, I thought these vehicles were sprung soft with the massive shocks providing control dampening. ?
Is there a final painting coming up ? The mismatched white's are giving my OCD's fits.
Can't wait to read the follow up ride report after the maiden voyage.

Disclaimer: I am not a leaf spring expert nor did I sleep at a Holiday Inn last night but I did have long travel leafs on a truck that worked greatThanks, so many leafs threw me. Also I noticed the primary leaf span seems rather wide. I'm certainly not familiar with how these vehicles are designed, constructed or how they ride, only seen the racing vids and they look pretty cushy, until you see their noggins snapping around like a bobble head doll. So I'm sure at race velocity, it appears much more gentle than what it really is in the seat.

The last part of the wait is the worst. Every time we think it’s done something small pops up.
Sprung relatively soft and controlled with shocks. 20+inches of travel in the rear.
20", wow, hard to imagine just how awesome it is driving something this well designed and built. Hopefully any and all build wrinkles will be discovered and sorted out asap.
With both cars and of course boats, I do understand how "Custom" works.
When it's all over and sorted out, Mom is going to have a uniform WHITE vehicle right ? Please
She’s officially done. Picked up this morning and taking her for a shakedown trip next weekend in ocotillo

That new rear bumper turned out awesome!
Bill, this thing came out so bitchin!
What is the story on the motorcycle "rack"? is it a turntable? I could copy that idea if it is.
I don't want to have to go back, what motor/trans and t case combo?
It’s a thing of pure beauty!
looking back it took about a year, started the post Jan 2, 2020
its an awesome ride and will last many years!
congratulations!
Yup. A little over a year to complete this 4 month project
Family heirloom.
How did you like the power from the motor?
Didn’t you go with the eco boost?
Non of those vids show grandma driving her new toy!
LoL
Looks really sharp and sounds good to!
I see most of the photos were taken @RicherRacing and a few @ohhchofab.
Did Richer do all the fab work gage, dash, sus everything ?
What work did Andrew do @ohhchofab and did you use any of his suspension ?
Thanks
Thanks, is the Dash and Console a one off or they make a run of them ?Front end is all ohhcho, fab work is all richer. They work out of the same shop.

Bronco turned out great RB. Would you mind giving details on the transmission? I notice a Winter's style shifter in there. My '90 has a 5.8 and a C6 and I am exploring overdrive options in the future and am considering 4l60/80 adapted and full manual..Front end is all ohhcho, fab work is all richer.
