New Bronco Body Build From The Beginning**Will be at Super Celebration

[Velocity Rest.]

This is a Body that we built with all new metal from Dynacorn here at Velocity Restorations. We built a jig from an original uncut solid Bronco and used that to form the mold for the Dynacorn panels. Let me start off by saying that there is virtually not one panel that they make that did not have to be modified. This was a very intense build and took nearly 300 man hours to build with modifications for proper gaps and panel alignment. I am posting these pictures for anyone to see what they are up against if they set out to build a new tub or a complete body from new metal. I cannot post all of the pictures we have for this build on the forum but if you go to my website velocityrestorations.com you can see the full album. You are more than welcome to email or call me with any questions you might have and I would be more than happy to help you out. Look for us at Super Celebration this year and come take a look at this Bronco.

That is alot of work. Looks great.

The fenders and grill look like a major PITA.

Good job

Velocity, while doing my Bronco I totally know what your saying about modifying every panel. I've needed to do the exact same thing. It's interesting that you guys took the A pillar assembly apart. Why did you guys do that? I'm just wondering.

Looks like a ton of work thank-you for sharing the pics.

Awesome job and great photo documentation.

Now that the body is almost complete, I'll give you $5K for it?? ;-)~

Awesome job for sure! Def not something I would want to tackle...

This particular A pillar came in two pieces from Dynacorn coated in weld through primer. We have another tub we are about to start and it is all one piece with the E-coating. Not sure why they did it that way but the two piece with weld through primer would be our preferred way.

Great work on that. Thanks for sharing.

Reading other postings on fitting after market front fenders I was curious if you tried fitting the front fenders to grille and the hinge post before you welded the post in place?
You didn't charge your customer for the 300 hours did you?

Looks like a pain in the arse.

We set our A Pillar to our B pillar for proper door alignment, then we build off of that.
We do charge our build hours to the customer because that is what it takes to make these perfect and to have doors a 6 year old can open and shut. There are different levels of builds that require more or less time and this Bronco will be more on the upper level. We have four other tubs behind it waiting to get built.
This post is more of a informational post to give people insight into what goes into building a new tub from new metal and to help people in making the decision on "do I fix my tub" or "do I build a new tub". I hope this helps!

Nice work!!!!!!!!!
I spent 4 months aligning my doors and they are only about 90% spot on. If I got to 100% like this bronco I don't think I would drive it for fear of messing it up perfection.

Looks great guys! Crazy amount of work, but the finished product is outstanding. Thanks for sharing

 

[Stutsmo]

Great pics! this is something I have wondered if I could do if I put my mind to it. What took 300 hours for you would probably translate to 3000 hours for me! Thanks for posting these pics!

Great pics. Nice reality check on "making stuff fit". Adds come very relevant points on "restore a rusty original or buy all new panels". Props to you and crew for attention to detail.
