Entourage · May 14, 2012

Hi Everyone - I wanted to share some pics of my build.

My Screen Name is Entourage, because I saw a Classic Bronco in 'Entourage' on HBO and instantly knew I had to have one. I spend the Summer looking for the right Bronco. Found a 1973 Ranger that was perfect.

This Bronco Project is a replacement for an amazing custom 1-of-a-kind 2005 Harley Springer Classic I bought out of New York for my 30th Birthday. Luckily, I sold it to one of my closest friends so someone I know gets to enjoy it. I am married with 2 amazing kids and needed a hobby that could include all us. A Classic Bronco is the perfect 4-seater Harley-Davidson replacement.

Great start on the project. What are your plans for it? Luber? Cut it and wheel it or just cruise around town.

A little more assembly and finally got to drive it, but not before ZOSO and ViperWolf gave it the thumbs up that it was road worthy

99% of all parts came from the guys at Wild Horses - those guys had everything for my build. Paint by Cope Street Customs, Tire Carrrier from CrawlerCreations, and Fiberglass Panels from JGZ here in Colorado. Could not have done this build without the guys in Colorado Classic Broncos and this web site - thanks a ton guys for your help and motivation.

Nice Job, I like how you disabled the tail gate. I did that on my 76 Ramcharger and was debating about it on my 75 EB, I am welding it shut!!

Looks like you are pretty much done! now to enjoy it!!!

That might be the shortest/fastest build thread EVER! Great job and good looking Bronco!

Thanks - I had never seen it before and I am happy it turned out. I knew I wasn't going to open it and wanted it to mount the stereo items. The custom panel from JGZ tied the interior together. Behind the seat, I have room for the sub and a Rubbermade that has strap, fluids, jumper cables, etc. It is not for everyone, but it is really worked out for my project. No rattles

They are nice - I wanted grey seats and Corbeau doesn't make a 40" Grey Vinyl Bench seat, so I went 2 RS buckets up-front and 2 Corbeau SS in the rear. I fabbed a seat bracket to make two 22" buckets seats fit in a 40" space. The seats sit just above the wheel humps and fit great. I saved some money doing 2 SS Buckets over the 40" Bench, plus got Grey.

Thanks a ton for the compliment. I bought it in August 2010 and had it on the road for Summer 2011. It was fast, but I started with a really nice chassis with Steve Mills Racing 351 with less than 500 miles and 5.5" lift already installed so it could have been WAY worse. Luckily, Viperwolf did my C-4 and TC that shift like a Lexus.

nice work...turned out great!

SSDDBRONCO · May 14, 2012

wow your bronco looks amazing. I really like your cage and the paint choice is awesome.

Absolutely beautiful job. Funny I'm in the midst of a similar build---lubr, ford mustang sterling gray, black top...What do you have as sized wheels and tires---suspension lift and any body lift? Thanks, Scott
