JBG All Steel Tub???

[1971BroncoRed]

Has anyone on here actually ordered the whole thing? I am about to start my bronco restoration and was wondering which direction to go? part by part, or just order the whole thing?

Might want to see if dynacorn is going to come out with there Bronco body this fall. It will probably be pricey but It should also be already put together.

Yeah, but hold onto your hat for that body. The ballpark # being thrown around at Broncorama this year was 15K! Ouch.
The Dynacorn stuff is real nice for being produced in Taiwan. Just fitted a lower quarter section this weekend. Fit is dead on. The ecoating will help it last much longer than stock too.

Are you sure that was the entire body kit? That truck was completed in May of 06 and had been worked on for a year or two prior at another shop before it was taken to JBG to finish. I don't know if that body kit has been out there for that long?

I made arrangements with Ted's assistants to have a friend who worked at FoMoCo hauled that rig down to be displayed at the 40th Anniversary event at the Carlisle All-Ford Nationals in '06.

I had so much going on that week coordinating the events there and at Paragon the following weekend (plus numerous activities for people staying the week in between), I only got to briefly look at it.

Overall I thought it was a nice rig, but I was expecting a bit more on the fit and finish department which also prevented me from looking too much further.

However, for how Ted seems to use (and abuse) his rigs, I'm sure the fit and finish will work out just fine for the Motor City Madman!

I think it would be a fun challenge to put one together. It would be nice to work with all fresh metal for a change. Right now, Graveyard had body tub kits starting at 4K in their '09 catalog. I think this was printing before they starting seeing all the new Dynacorn stuff. Again, I think it would be fun to put one together if you had the time, $, and space. The quality of repo panels really seems to have gotten better in the past couple years.
