charcoal grey Bronco Outside on the front south outside display area. Very nice looking Bronco.
...No sign of a Dynacorn Bronco body - and I'm not holding my breath for one either...
Here is a picture. It was my understanding Nike did not do the cover, they sponsored the build in some way.
Last year the Dynacorn guys said they were just working through some licensing issues with Ford. Given they have licenses for all the good Mustangs (sorry you mustang II guys out there) I can not believe they could not figure out the Ts and Cs? My guess is there were other issues? I have yet to see anyone produce a good corner for the rear quarters, maybe that was the issue?

After lengthy discussions with both Dynacorn and the Ford Liscensing people. Real info from people involved and not personal specualtion...
The project is still on. On the Ford side they are going through all the normal channels like they did with the Mustangs. Last I heard it was being reviewed by Safety. Dynacorn admits that the press release didn't come out right. It takes years to build up the tooling to build all the little parts to make a whoe body. All the little parts that you never buy when repairing an old body, stuff that either never goes bad or you just make it from scratch rebuilding a bashed body. Can't mass produce bodies without ALL the parts tooled up. They ned to sell a bunch more Mustang and Camero bodies to help pay for the Bronco tooling.
It takes about 5 years to go from idea to a body. They were asked about the Bronco body a week after they decided to do it. The press went and said that Dyacorn was going to build bodies without taking into account the lead time. No one has pactience, they figured it would be out in a few months. We are about 3 years into the process. You honestly have about 2 years to go before the bodies will be available, providing there are no more economy crashes, revolution in China, or other unforseeable problems. If you feel like donating about $7,000,000 to Dynacorn they can have the bodies tooled up a lot faster. Anyone ready to donate?
No offense, unless you work for Dynacorn...that still sounds like personal speculation..
We will know when the Bronco bodies are available...when....they are available.
