I can't take any credit. My Bronco is being restored for me by "Bronco Connection" out of Nebraska. They manufactured the tub using Dynacorn parts. They built the motor etc. I'm just writing the check. I used to work at a machine shop rebuilding engines and I worked as a mechanic too. My current profession requires me to do lots of mechanical and electrical repairs so it does not leave me anytime for projects. Everything you see in the background is in their shop.

Very nice, I was also interested in what kind of lift it has.

Body lift? Suspension lift? How much?--Great looking Bronco!



Body lift 1". Suspension 2.5". I don't have a good cost number. The restoration started life in a different shop that was recommended to me by a Bronco parts house. It was supposed to take six months but after two years and a ton of money, I had to remove the Bronco from that shop. The original shop messed up the body to where the door window frames were out beyond the windshield frame and the rear quarters were twisted and too high; making it impossible to attach a hard or soft top and seal up against pretty much anything . So I basically threw away the body and started over. Then the new guys had to repair all the other screw ups, so it skews the numbers.
