Saw the previews for that too.
Knowing what they do to some vehicles, I’m taking a wait-and-see attitude on how it’s going to come out from my standpoint. But of course I have to watch it!
They do some very nice work, and put together some very tasteful vehicles.

Just saw the blurb that says the customer wants a “show off, off-road” vehicle.
I wonder how much bronco will be left.

I love most of the stuff they do but we'll see. Thanks for the time reminder!

They did a custom Pantera and just my opinion I thought they ruined it
If it was that bright green one, I was hesitant at first but it grew on me as the episode went on. I ended up really liking it though. Watching Bitchin Rides for me is the same as when I used to watch Bob Ross paint. It is all going so well and then they do something crazy, like adding a "Happy Little Tree" lol, and I always wonder what they are thinking. At the end of the build, it usually comes together in a way that I didn't see at first and wouldn't think to do.

Not sure if they have done a bronco before, but I can't wait to see this one. Hopefully them or one of the other shows will do a 2nd gen bronco, it would be interesting to see what can be done with the extra room under the hood.

Boss 429 engine under the hood would work

One of the other shows did do a '78/'79 Bronco at one point. Texas Metal maybe? Or maybe I'm just thinking of the EB they did that was so big it reminded me of a full-size!
But I think I remember one.
Pretty sure that the guys in Canada did one... Restoration Garage is it?

I just watched both episodes and I really liked the build. That Dave they built it for has a heck of a car collection and seemed to have the money for a build of that quality. Loved the rims!

Nice build. Hadn’t seen the chasis, wheels, and fender flares before. Not sure about the bumpers just yet, They are growing on me though.
