i'm no marketing genius, but moves like this always begs the questions: what else is ford going to produce? maybe, the new bronco, perhaps? we just have to wait and see.

How much will they cost? And are that just tubs?

WHere did you see a price?

Aint gonna sell too many if its $15K like the mustang shells, but at $6-7K they would sell a lot.

B) Ford isn't producing them; Dynacorn is.

C) they couldn't produce something worth buying if they were only getting $7K for them. They haven't added the Bronco to the website yet, so there's no official price yet.

ALL the parts required to build a body can be bought at retail for less than $7K.

They will be able to stamp the parts themselves at wholesale prices, so the only diff is the labor, which with a production line and jogs shouldnt be too much.

so why would it have to cost more than the Mustang body, it has half the metal and half the welding.

An EB body tub with no doors, no windshield, no top, and no tailgate, aint exactly alot of metal.

Dynacorn is showing them, but not sure when they will be selling them. Complete tub at SEMA this year.

i have been watching a build by a pro shop on the mustang body by dynacorn. on vintage mustang forum. that body is still not perfect and requires some pieces to be taken off and redone. so don't think that it will be a drop on and go thing. i also hope they could be cheaper. not as much to a bronco. remember a mustang has a unibody frame made to it and a dash.
