1967 Ford Bronco Sport.

This truck has been meticulously restored.  I removed the body and disassembled the chassis.  Everything was blasted and powder coated.  The tub was blasted, primed and Al's linered on the underside.  The interior portion of the tub was ceramic coated and then Al's linered.

I have a little over 600 miles on her so far.

Brand new crate 302 engine with a Edelbrock performer intake and Holley 600 cfm manual choke carb.

From the factory she came with 4:11 gears and track lock front and rear.  I have new bearing and seals throughout the axles.  The front diff is the original Dana 30 and I have gone through it all including the king pins.

Both the 3speed Transmission and Dana 20 have been refreshed with new bearings and seals.  The Dana 20 is the original T style shifter and the 3 Speed is mounted on the floor.  

Some things I have added are the Power steering set up with a Delphi box, Front disk brake conversion, and also the power brake conversion, and also upgraded the wiper set up from vacuum to electric, and I have also installed a tach.

I tried to keep the dash stock for the 67 year, however I added the switch for the dual fuel tank selector, and also the wiper switch.   The dash was already cut for an after market radio so I kept that and installed a nice Sony system with 4 speakers cut into the fiberglass quarter panel inserts.

The interior has a new black carpet and fiberglass quarter panel inserts.  The front seats are stock buckets with Mustang Pony trim, the rear seat is a Tom's fold and tumble.

The body has two new front fenders, and a new steel hood.  Nothing else needed to be replaced.  PPG paints and 3m seam sealers were used.  I have extra paint left over that will come with the Bronco.  I also have front fender flares that are painted but I did not want to drill into the new fenders.

The roof is a Ramage soft top.

The wheels are Pro Comp 17in, with 285 70 17 mud terrain tires.  

The new owner will also receive a disc with all the photos of the restoration.  I have really enjoyed building this Bronco.  She was in far better shape than my orange 75 (Chewch).  The new owner will enjoy her for many years and miles.

Please email any questions.

Ford and Chrysler reducing summer plant shutdowns

Wed, 22 May 2013

Most domestic automaker assembly plants traditionally take a couple of weeks off during the summer. The shutdowns give each plant time for much needed repairs and maintenance, and in some cases, help better align production with demand. Not this year, though, as demand for many models is outstripping what Ford, Chrysler and General Motors plants can produce.
Ford has announced that it will shorten its annual summer shutdown for most North American plants from two weeks to one. The shorter shutdown will increase the carmaker's annual North American production by 40,000 units on top of the 200,000 extra units that it was already planning to produce this year versus last. Automotive News reports that Ford produced 2.8 million vehicles on this continent in 2012, and that output this year has already increased 13 percent through April.
Chrysler, meanwhile, is also operating at full tilt and plans to run some plants through the summer with no shutdown at all. Those not getting a break include Jefferson North where the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango are assembled, Toledo North that will assemble the new Cherokee, and Conner Avenue, home of SRT Viper production. Other assembly plants will be down for a single week, while all of Chrysler's engine and transmission plants except one in Indiana will continue operating with no shutdown this summer.

Did a US automaker blow the whistle on Hyundai, Kia fuel economy issue?

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

In all of the most hotly contested mainstream segments of the motoring universe, the difference of one mile per gallon averaged on a widow sticker can mean the difference between a sale and a walk-off - to say nothing of two or three mpg. So, when Hyundai and Kia were forced to reveal that many of their 40-mpg ratings were actually 38s and 37s, well, it made for big news.
It also, conceivably, made for a competitive disadvantage immediately, when the Korean automakers' products were being shopped versus the guys down the block. And it's that disadvantage that makes a recent story from Automotive News so juicy.
AN is reporting that Margo Oge, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, got a tip in 2010 that Hyundai/Kia were "cheating" to get its impressive fuel economy numbers. The tip, said Oge (who retired from the EPA this past September), came from a senior vice president from a domestic automaker. The source was credible enough for Oge to launch an audit of the Hyundai figures, which ultimately lead to the debacle that we reported on a few months ago, and that the Korean company has been trying to bounce back from ever since.

Help make Lego Icon Bronco a reality [UPDATE]

Fri, Feb 13 2015

The Lego Ideas process is a pretty neat concept. The website allows anyone to propose a future kit, and if the project gathers 10,000 supporters within a certain amount of time, then the company investigates building it. The creator even gets a cut of the sales. We saw the operation at work last year with a very cool looking Corvette kit that hasn't hit the next stage quite yet. Now, another creator going by the username Legohero1966 has a fantastic looking replica of the Icon 4X4 Bronco hoping for support. The maker nails the boxy, brawny look of the Icon take on the classic Ford Bronco, and the Lego kit even gets the color pretty close. The miniature SUV also features a visible suspension, a removable top and, according to the description, a reel for the winch is hidden in the bumper. Underneath the body, this model even does a pretty good job of replicating the powertrain. As is expected by these kits, the hood, doors and hatch all open; on this one the spare tire carrier even moves out of the way, too. As of this writing, the Icon Bronco kit only has a little over 400 supporters, and that's a long way from the goal. If you like what you see, give the proposal a closer look on Lego Ideas. UPDATE: The original creator of the Icon Bronco kit, Paul Kim, has advised Autoblog that this Lego Ideas proposal was created without his consent, and he has reported the problem there. You can view more pictures of the Bronco and more of Kim's work, here.
