My six year old son Joey wanted me to build a Bronco out of Legos. To him it just needed to resemble an EB but it got a little out of hand. Albeit not an exact replica of an EB it is as close as I could make it with Legos. It does however have 4 wheel linked suspension, spools, transfer case w/ twin sticks, drive shafts, and a motor that spins when the wheels turn. And a working winch too. I grew up with Legos and it was fun to see Joey into them like I was. If any of you have done anything like this Legos or not with your kids lets see them. Just like my 68 sport, it has been and is being built with my kids and family in mind.

I can build some cool lego creations, but that is incredible! My 6 year old has at least 1000 lego bricks, and about half the catalog's kits, but nothing close to that... My hat's off to you for that one.

I too grew up with Legos, in fact legos are probabley the reason I'm a general contractor. That Lego Bronco is awsesome! Building that with your son is the coolest bronco/fun project I have ever seen.

Very cool! Awesome Job! Cant wait for my boys to be able to play with the regular legos, we are still with the Duplos as we have some lego munchers still.

I used to do a lot of cool stuff with legos, this really is like a blast from the past! You could snag one of the motors and put it in to make it powered.

My guess is early 66 U13 Roadster. Silver seats, no side marker lights and I think I can make out the eyebrows on the grill!

Great job!
