I'm glad I landed on your first video for this Gen II so that I can watch the updated videos next. I'm currently tearing apart my 1979 so very useful info. You also give me encouragement as a solo "60-something" shade-tree mechanic. Fight on!

Heck yeah, get after it! Thanks for watching, this thing is done and on the road!

Very glad to have found your channel. Why? Because This Bronco is from my youth. I want to see you do this build and put that Coyote in the rig. Can't believe your a 1 Man Show. That's Awesome. You have the resourcefulness of a Farmer. If your from Ohio, you know what I mean. Farmers are the most determined, hard working and resourceful people I know. Your showing me that your never too old to do this kind of stuff. More Power to you. Go kick that Broncos Butt. Love it!!!

Those Coyote engines are great for a street truck, and look awesome. But in my opinion, if you're gonna build a Bronco that actually gets used to do Bronco things, you can't beat a 300ci six and a granny five speed. I drove my 85 Bronco all over Iceland back in the late 80s with a Rancho lift and 33 inch BFGs. Deserts, snow, glaciers, it could do it all. Keep building, love watching your stuff!

A 300 6cyl may be reliable but it's gutless as hell in a heavy bronco. Of the old stock type motors a well built 400 is better in every way. I'm sure a coyote is world better as well. If I were doing a new school swap I'd go for a godzilla over a coyote any day.

This is one of your best videos. It’s like, “hey watch a bit of what I’m doing” vs. “hey look what I did.” More detail basically.

To my eye, the '78-'79 was the best looking Bronco of the entire run. So 'Coyote Ugly' wouldn't be my first choice of names, especially considering how nice it will be throughout when you finish it.
