This Bronco was originally owned by a friend of my father. My first trip four wheeling in it was when I was about 10 years old. That was about 34 years ago and I fell in love with the truck. He finally sold it to me in 1998. It was a rough old duck hunting vehicle then. I spent about 5 years and every dime I had restoring it according to my wife. It's been done about 3 years. I have receipts over $40,000.00 from all the usual places you go for Bronco's. It was painted on rotisirre and the underside looks just like the top side. The chassis was completely disassembled and everything was powder coated, axles and all.It's got hydroboost brakes with disc up front. I did new power steering, gear box and all that. It has new oversized fuel tank assembly. Most importanly I keep hearing everyone say Foose is doing a Bronco with steel welded in rear fender opening. I am proud to say I beat him by 4 years. We welded in arches from another pair of stock front fenders so they's match front to rear. The cobra jet style hood scoop is all steel too. It was originally done becasue I thought I would need air cleaner clearance but the hood retains it's original structure underneath. There was heat and sound deadening material done under floor rubber and headliner. The Weld Wheels were "one off" when I ordered them but there may be more in existence now. They weren't custom for me but there was only the prototype in existance when they made these. I love the ole bullet holes but wanted to be original. I don't think a lot of the new Ghetto wheels work on an Early either. The motor was completely rebuilt. Nothing special, pretty big hydraulic cam and some bolt ons as you can see. Hit me with your questions as I'm sure I've forgotten plenty. And if Alan Jackson is reading this please buy it and remake the "Drive" video. That's my story too.

Honda giving away free Civics in Forza Horizon to celebrate launch
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Just a friendly reminder from Honda: The Honda Challenge Pack DLC is now available for Forza Horizon. To reward you for the trouble of pressing a few buttons on your Xbox controller, you'll get the 2013 Honda Civic Coupe, an HPD Rally Fit and a 1986 Honda Civic Si Coupe in your garage, and you'll get them free. The event of the new DLC has also kicked off a photo contest that will reward someone with an Xbox 360 console wrapped in a Honda Civic Si theme.
Otherwise, the word "Challenge" keeps coming up because of the chance to run an online race against IndyCar driver Scott Dixon. The track for that digital throwdown has already been decided by Xbox players who voted before January 8. Yet it's not too late to hop into the Honda section in Xbox Live and lay down a time fast enough for a shot at the title "The Driver That Shellacked Scott Dixon," and meeting the man in person.
Check out the press release from Honda below, and the sweetness that is the 1986 Civic Si in the gallery above.
Ford to reveal Vignale sub-brand with special Mondeo in Frankfurt
Tue, 03 Sep 2013Ford says that 10-15 percent of its customers in Europe want their cars to be set apart from regular Fords - even those wearing the top Titanium X trim - and the Blue Oval will answer them with the Vignale sub-brand. The new brand proposes a more upscale look and a much-improved dealership experience, Autocar reports. The Vignale Mondeo will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show to kick off the new endeavor.
The first Ford to receive the Vignale treatment will be the 2015 Mondeo, a Euro-only model, followed by the new S-Max and Edge. The Vignale Mondeo is set apart visually from other Mondeos by a chrome grille and chrome door handles and mirror caps. Mondeo badging will be deleted - only Vignale badging will make an appearance.
The interior will get a more upscale flavor, as well, with quilted leather seats and door trim and leather covering the instrument panel, center console and steering wheel. A Vignale-badged storage drawer will be installed in the trunk, and in-car Wi-Fi is available.
NHTSA closes Ford F-150 EcoBoost acceleration probe
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Typically when we report on the findings of an investigation from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, it's because the government body has discovered a safety issue and prescribed a recall. In this case, however, NHTSA has closed an investigation into a reported performance deficit without ever getting to the recall stage.
The issue revolves around the Ford F-150 - specifically those equipped with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine - of which some 360,000 were built in the 2011, 2012 and 2013 model years. After receiving an initial 95 complaints, NHTSA opened an investigation last May - almost a year ago - into the reported issue of reduced engine power under hard acceleration. The agency has since received a total of 525 such complaints, and Ford itself reported receiving over 4,000.
Together, NHTSA and Ford determined that the problem resulted from cylinders misfiring, an issue itself stemming from water getting into the charge air cooler (CAC) mated to the turbochargers. In particularly humid or rainy conditions, water was found to get into the CAC, causing some of the cylinders to misfire, which in turn triggered the ECU to disable those cylinders in order to protect the catalytic converter from damage.
