i've now completed a high end build for a customer in south florida. it was a 17 month project. Bax let the cat out of the bag the other day, so i will now clue the world in on it. out of respect for the owners of the builds and projects i work on, i don't post any shots until they have seen the truck first hand.

here's the story on this one:
original carolina truck. 73 wagon, nothing fancy package. sat for a number of years. was a diamond in the rough as i saw it and picked it up for inventory.
the owner wanted the ultimate street cruiser, a "corporate package" you could say. he had a few requests but gave me the green light on pretty much everything else.
here's the quick specs of it:
complete chem strip
spray in SEM liner inside & complete underside
top shelf body & paint job. it's a dark blue metlc & sand metlc 2 stage all in Sikkens products.
powder coated frame & axle hsg
408 efi Mass Flo EFi, AFR alum heads. built by Anderson Performance Engines
custom C4 & converter, D20, 4:30 r/p with lockers
4wh discs with hyrdo boost
all plumbing by Goodridge
stainless 4:1 headers & exhaust with magnaflow mufflers
6 way power seats in custom tan leather
Red Art back seat in matching leather
A/C
custom headliner & interior panels
custom carpet & fully insulated & sound deadening in hard top
custom cage Tig welded together.
Bilstein 7100 series shocks
NT steering
Flamming River polished tilt column and wheel
35" Toyo's on 15x10 MT classics
stainless hard lines
RD Alum rad
tinted windows
GPS with touch point screen
H4 headlight package
custom wiring package

some of my new Trix that i've done on this truck are:
stainless 24g fuel tank package
drop wiper package in front
rear wiper
third brake light
steering and front end package
custom dash
gas spring assist tire carrier

some of these products are in the R&D stage to possibly come to market.

yada yada yada...
it's an absolutely brand new truck with lots of trick features from the front to back. the owner is thrilled with it and is now cruising the streets of south florida with it. it was a fun build and i'm glad to see him now enjoying his dream bronco.
thanks for checking it out...;)

Lots of choices for my new screen background, I am sure the pictures do not do the actual work justice (and the pictures look beautiful).

Looks fantastic, Nick!

Not trying to steal trade secrets, but what amount of hours goes into a build like that?

this particular build had a billed amount of roughly 500 hours. there was also countless hours that just wasn't billable.
thanks for the compliments & support everyone.

That's an awesome job,Nick!! I can't believe you could do that in 500 hours. I probably have that in mine and it has not even made it to the paint shop yet. I guess there is a difference in knowing what you are doing and figuring it out as you go.

That's awesome Nick! Glad you can finally show it off publicly and get the well-deserved attention for it. Looking forward to hearing more about some of the cool innovations on it.

It's alright...if you like that kind of look. I prefer the rusted out, can barely get it to move look. ;D

That is absolutely beautiful! Great job Nick.
