If y’all look back at the #Carcass (minus a couple early hiccups) and the #MusicCityTrucks episodes, #PowerNation is really doing a great job reinventing themselves! Keep ‘em coming y’all!!!
That master fabricator Steven Hamilton is freaking artist! He built some of the most unbelievable hot rods. He’s a elite fabricator! He needs his own show! Amazing!
"Let's build an old Bronco!!" Step 1. Buy an old Bronco. Step 2. Clean it up and blast it. Step 3. Throw the entire Bronco away except for the VIN numbers.
"can you imagine replacing all these panels rather than just putting them all together new" "Yeah there's no way I'd do that" Yeah neither would I if I had an unlimited budget 😂
At some point in this build, please do an episode on the latest products and techniques in rust-proofing. A vehicle that lives near the sea will need it.
Some states are real easy to get a custom vehicle titled. Not living in CA like these guys likely do, im not sure how theyd best go bout it. Most people find it easiest to buy a title and vin plate from a vehicle that wont ever be driven again. Since i live in a state where it is easy to title a custom vehicle, id likely just use the MSOs and have it inspected.
Awesome build and great to learn different techniques but how could someone afford this build? Even doing it yourself the parts alone would have to be ridiculous. A ground up build would be ridiculous. I would believe finding a body damaged but great shape otherwise modern vehicle would be the way to go. Remove the body then modify the bronco panels to the modern frame.
This build truly is a dream build, it would be so expensive and as a result most could never afford it. So thanks MCT for taking us on a journey we would otherwise never get to see
So, at what point is it still a 70s bronco? Don't get me wrong, I think what they're doing is super cool, but at this point it looks more like a replica than a restoration
Really a shame the original vehicle was a bust, but the erector-set vehicle build is actually REALLY interesting! Not something I'd do, but the process is educational. HOW are you getting a VIN on this build??? (Or are you?)
Probably no different than a Factory 5 "Cobra". Depends on what state you are in. Some are if it looks like something from the era, good enough. Speaking of Factory 5. They are in Mass. All their cars owned by them that make to TV seem to have Rhode Island plates. Then you have engine emissions. It was made now, so you need to be up to 2021 emissions of the state because it's a new vehicle.
@@dlewis9760 All they did is replace a couple of rusty panels. This is the original Bronco, All you have to do is check the VIN number on the "original" glove box door.
what was the total costs?? Was it was less than buying a new truck or jeep? ALSO How did you register it for use on the road??? is it off road only?? Will you have to pay taxes since you built it yourself????
in Massachusetts, I am 90% thru a 68 where only 4 items are original. 2 axles, tub, frame. sandblast, weld, body work, single stage paint, crate engine, 4R70W A/T, everything else and it's at $40,000.
Was weld destruct testing done throughout the build? would like to see nugget results for different material thicness / multiple layers. could be a unplesant suprise if welds fail in use
Is the frame they are using from the aftermarket certified by any federal agency? Has crash testing been done? If this thing was to get into an accident, what happens when either the police or the insurance company find out this is a "home made" truck? I know nothing about the classic car resto business, so these are just questions out of curiosity.
Yea… like this build is afforded and at a skill level of the average builder. This is by far the dumbest build video ive seen yet. C’mon Power Nation. Get back down to earth….
@@michaelpate5426 yea. Its easy to do a build like this when everythings “sponsored” including all the cutting edge tools the average builder doesn’t have access to.
You bought a Bronco . Found to much rust , Throw it all in the trash including the frame with its ID numbers . So I guess you will keep the vin tag so it can be registered . Or did you throw it away and walk away with nothing from the purchase ?

v tuned garage bro
It's not often you see a vehicle build start from scratch like this one.
Brandon’s hair is a work of art!!!!
Dang this is so cool. Crazy guy.

"The Egg-ra-nomiks..." Get your hands out of your pockets when your selling Chad!
Stupid question . Are you guys going to get a VIN number for this Bronco?? And if so , how are you going to do it??
Probably swapping vin numbers would be my guess even though it’s highly frowned upon
Probably have to get a safety inspection and then get a new VIN just like a homemade trailer or a kit car.
They are stealing it from the the other brocno they pretend couldn't be fixed. So it one real brocno that will never be able to get registered again.

@@Ulfstigandr these guys are in Tennessee . And I'm Canadian so it's completely different up here .
It also just shows you how much precision factory build is.
That was funny when Brandon was sitting in the drivers seat and waved to that imaginary babe in the bikini 👙. LOL.

I don’t think that’s something you can achieve in your home shop, but it’s really interesting to see such intricate process

Just looked online and it’s 15k plus shipping to your door. That really not much considering the cost of a restoration on a factory rusty body.
@@daltonbritt8620 where online? Please tell I’m keen
Nice build
Having built over 10 of these bronco 's . You should have started with the cowl first. Might have been easier?
Wow
So, at what point is it still a 70s bronco? Don't get me wrong, I think what they're doing is super cool, but at this point it looks more like a replica than a restoration
My thoughts exactly. They just bought and scrapped an original just to build a "kit"
They have no still to do nothing besides talk
Love the way the power cables jump whenever the single side gun is used.
that's so cool, now if I could do that for myself..........
I want to build this, GT40 and FF5 Cobra. Enough to keep me busy
Please oh please put the 300i6 y’all built in here
Cool!
This is literally exactly what I want to do when I got time money and space
Really a shame the original vehicle was a bust, but the erector-set vehicle build is actually REALLY interesting! Not something I'd do, but the process is educational.
HOW are you getting a VIN on this build???
(Or are you?)
Nice. Is it possible to build a K5/ C 10 like this? I‘m asking for a friend 😉
A question how are you going to register this Bronco?

They will probably use the VIN off the bronco they bought and tore apart.
@@craigmaverick If they use one square inch of that old Bronco, they can call it "restored from junk."
@@dlewis9760 All they did is replace a couple of rusty panels. This is the original Bronco, All you have to do is check the VIN number on the "original" glove box door.
Is the Suburban build done? Or has it been put on hold?
Broke down like all gm's
@@AndyFromm you’re a homosexual
Ford did the whole truck in 18 hours so you better hurry up.
My question is what happened to the Bronco they tore apart.
@@garypic4083 I hope it didn't get junked and someone was able to get their hands on it that will actually use it.
I would linex the whole body now before I did anything else
So a garage , property and tools can equal a NEW CAR. or PLANE.
Car: possibly. Plane: unlikely.
For only $20,000 you can buy this spot welder for your rusty 74 Nova.
@@garypic4083 if you are doing pieces like this in a body shop, then the 20k outlay will be returned without too much of a drama
But what about the glove box? That's the most important part of ANY bronco
I'm ONE guy in a shop with a MIG building 2 of these from scratch. NOT gonna sit and watch a video of 5 guys with a $15,000 spot welder. NEXT!
Why go find an old one to fix, just to build a new one? Why not just leave the old one out there for someone else to find and fix
The Vin number.
This is what happens when people can't do stuff just get new it's not building a bronco or restoring one just a kit
@@michaelpate5426
Ummm. This is far more involved than restoring the rusty one.
If u need a engine I have 1 it's a 302 v8 - complete but needs rebuilding . Came out of a 71 .
15k for a whole new body really isn’t bad. I thought for sure it would be 25k+.
👍
surprised you didnt paint the frame before assembling it. I would of put 5 or 7 coats on the frame
It's in fab, it all has to be taken apart a couple of times.
What happened to Unbreakable?
Done and pay off episode Done.
These two are a couple.
It's Crazy Horse light..
Except no stupid laugh.
@@dlewis9760 while throwing parts for no reason
what was the total costs?? Was it was less than buying a new truck or jeep? ALSO How did you register it for use on the road??? is it off road only?? Will you have to pay taxes since you built it yourself????
Does this shop do restorations for clients? I have a project truck I'd like to have restored.
@@garypic4083 thank you
How much does that cost? Buying a brand new EB and then putting it together.
in Massachusetts, I am 90% thru a 68 where only 4 items are original. 2 axles, tub, frame. sandblast, weld, body work, single stage paint, crate engine, 4R70W A/T, everything else and it's at $40,000.
my question is , what is the price?
Dat gap
What's going on with the suburban? Any updates soon?
Been done for a while.
Was weld destruct testing done throughout the build? would like to see nugget results for different material thicness / multiple layers. could be a unplesant suprise if welds fail in use
There is too much talking. not enough assembly.
how would you title this? as a kit car? or is there a way to title it as a ford bronco?
They will probably use the VIN off the bronco they bought and tore apart.
@@craigmaverick ahhh.
I must have missed that episode.
Didnt know there was anotger one.
Pretty nice build just don't put an LS in it
so.....you are building a kit car. please remove "Bronco" from the title of the video.
Live this show an channel... :)
Fun looking build but those bronco crumble to severe stress of wrecks with that flimsy sheet metal design.
Modern box frame, no worse than anything of the same era.
Not sure I want to buy a welder from a guy that says eagernomics and telescoptic
How much for the welder
$4,000,000,000?
3.2 billion... stop with the exaggeration
Yall can't re build a bronco with a classic one
Is the frame they are using from the aftermarket certified by any federal agency? Has crash testing been done?

Tell me that is not the color they are going to paint that Bronco.
It is.
