Alice 1973 Ford Bronco
This 73 Bronco was brought to us, initially was a nice driver built with a 302 and AOD, we gutted her and before we knew it we were given a prime directive. Build what you want, let’s have some fun. SO with that down the rabbit hole we went, and this is what we came up with. This is our tribute and tahnk you to Carrol. Shelby. This is what Shelby would have built had this technology been around in the 60’s and lee Iacocoa said Henry Ford the IInd needs a Bad Ass Bronco. Alice features a Gen III Coyote, 10R80 Auto, Atlas Transfer Case, Duff Tuff Suspension, Wilwood Brakes all around, a built Dana 44, a Built 9. Painless wiring, Dakota Digital RTX Gauge, Kenwood Touch Screen, Nu Relic Power windows and cranks, Wood Bed, Leather Custom Interior and so much more
Beverly Hills, that's the place we wanna be..... Southern California isn't short on amazing landmark spots, and well since we need miles anyway why not take advantage of some fantastic locations gorilla style
Im ready for my close up
The 101, thru LA, Hollywood, the places dreams are made of
Can't do a night cruise on empty, and well this southern California spot is just the perfect combo for the night
Happy, shocked and surprised we dropped in on our client for a in person test drive for him
On our way back to San Diego, this rest stop before Camp Pendleton is always a great spot on a clear day
Pitch black and those RTC gauges pop hard
Dyno time
Anything past 300 horses we take in for a dull Dyno tune, this Gen III was tuned in conjunction with Lund Racing
Cruising grand on bronco night
Alice sitting pretty with her Carmel interior
So fresh, So Clean
Those wheels really do tie it all together
New Windshield, we had a rock crack it and we couldn't deliver her like that
This grey blue carpet really tied the interior together
This is a Shelby Bronco period. In my heart that's what I see
The Coyote Engines pack a hell of a punch, and they are amazing in these broncos
Playing with the engine cover
Billet AC Vents, Clock and touch screen what more could you ask for in a classy bronco
Going thru the paces and getting her all dialed in on the interior boots up next
This has to be one of the most labor intensive things we have done. SO much tape. Polished and then masked off for this black paint. The Devils always in the details
Gotta love diamond stiching
Client drove down to do a first test drive, and was so happy with it. Then we had more work to do
Mixing for a special surprise
The special surprise pops out here, when the wheel tubs are painted body color vs just getting carpet it really does add a level of class and elegance
Our undercarriage on Alice leaves nothing to the imagination. This is really when the details truly shine
Sometimes you need a little help from your friends, unfortunately the bed wasn't fitting right and well sometimes you just gotta take things into your own hands instead of fighting with a company
David Toth hard at work with detail work on the center caps

Even in the day light they're bright
