Make Diesels great again

[@rigger4695]

Talk about a total waste of money. I can do the same thing for a fraction of the cost.

[@JohnReynolds661]

Cool, can you give your contact info so people know where to go to get the same thing done for a fraction of the cost?

[@blackbuttecruizr]

​@@JohnReynolds661 I wonder what that fraction is? I mean 10/1 is a fraction...

[@kathyscherbarth2169]

@@JohnReynolds661 I'm not quite sure about his "opinion"....... With the prices of quality products today and competitive labor rates that fraction would be small at best. I don't think you even quoted a number, did you ??

Bet that goes well...

[@saewoody6366]

I have got to say, I am constantly blown away at your skill and patience. The high level of craftsmanship seen in every video is quite impressive.

[@dmwi1549]

Drool worthy vehicle! Thanks for sharing the process!

[@joekneer1599]

Excellent video as usual. Your sense of humor is much appreciated.

[@dadgarage7966]

Glancing at the thumbnail, I thought this was another Jonathan Ward upload featuring another "Bronco" with 18" brake rotors and polyurea-coated CNC seat belt buckles.

[@oldmanfunky4909]

Very very nice! John you are an artist at what you do!

[@lchebuhar9212]

Cool project. Looking forward to more video on the Corvair! 💪👍🏼

[@lawerncemiller6557]

Great job with the bronco but glad you're getting back to the important things I'm sure it was nice not having to completely fabricating a unibody frame and suspension can't wait to see the Corvair finished

[@genemiller9612]

This is a nice project, but I'm looking forward to the Corvair project again.

[@joell439]

Super nice - of course I'm sure the customer and are not surprised. 👍👍😎👍👍 (p.s. - I appreciated all of the camera angles)

[@DaveWeagle]

Awesome build! I feel like every time I watch one of your videos I see another tool that I need to look into.

[@chrismedeiros3201]

John, your sense of humor alone is worth the watch. 😂 Glad to hear you're getting back to the Corvair.

[@Kevin_747]

Beautiful work. I'll bet that engine has a great torque band for off road driving. I must be a sicko, I love wiring. I used to hate it but a friend of mine builds wire looms for corporate jets and has tutored me to the point where I can wire anything.

[@tylerbarrett6652]

Love your sense of humor. Thanks for sharing this.

[@willhibbardii2450]

Great project build, thank you for sharing the highlights.

[@jayc4562]

I've got a 72 bronco. I drove it in 1972, it belonged to friend of mine. It has a 100k on it now. Simple and in another 100k it will still be running. When you take something simple and and complicate it with a bunch of electronics you have a real good street car.

Always look forward to your videos, John! Great work and a brilliant sense of humour. Thanks!!

[@nv1493]

I also use nutserts everywhere I can. Absolutely a great invention 😊

[@danieltubbs5422]

Agreed, especially on older cars that use a lot of sheetmetal screws!

[@iddddaduncan]

Wow, Nice job!

[@cramiro71]

I totally agree, enjoy. Looking forward for next video on the Corvair!

[@nashguy207]

Nice work John. Looks great and runs good. Looks like a nice little Bronco!

[@susanpeterson3162]

Hey John - Nice Bronco video! Both the project itself of course - and the smoooth video production. Very enjoyable!

[@JohnReynolds661]

Thanks, Susan!

[@handyguy480]

Really enjoyed this video John. I had one of those old Broncos, wish I still had it. Awesome job you did. Anxious for some more corvair videos. KC

[@johnvaluk1401]

Flaming river is probably a reference to the Cuyahoga river( which actually caught on fire)in Cleveland which is also in Cuyahoga county where flaming river is located

[@mikeydangerous8808]

“These are called the ‘front fenders’.” 😂😂 Great video-as always-Mr. Reynolds! Alwas love tuning in to “car-guy stuff, made by REAL car-guys!” Can’t wait for some more Corvair videos!

[@mikeydangerous8808]

*always

[@edwinthomas618]

Loved the video. Love your humor

[@UnauthorizedServiceTech]

Beautiful as always.

[@hankcuccina5260]

I think that Icon may have revived a 1968 Bronco too. Johns restoration is a beauty.

[@davidgoldberg]

Nice work!

[@crazyoilfieldmechanic3195]

Looks GREAT. GLAD IT IS DONE !! The corvair col have been on the track by now proving it's suspension..........

[@rollinwithunclepete824]

Woo Hoo - a John Reynolds video! Glad you mentioned the Corvair. I thought you had shoved it under the bed because it become such a project!

[@SaneCayne]

Wow, especially dry humor on this one, John. Good stuff!

[@danielbuck]

turbo diesel in a small 4x4 is perfect! Maybe try some hydro motor mounts to combat the idle vibration? The only thing I'm dissapointed by is the automatic transmission 😄

[@danielbuck]

also, is this one of those roads off the PCH in Malibu? that dirt climb looks familiar, I think I've been there a few times. Used to test out some vehicles there as well!

[@aaronkeiser6349]

Didn't know Agua Dulce had offroad trails haha

[@theflyingfool]

10:03 FenderBender Extraordinaire fits a fender! Great project John, I was getting worried you might have been jailed for speeding in the Corvair but glad to hear this is the reason instead :D

[@SaneCayne]

Just another $100k and you've got an ICON build. (Ha, of course this client already has an ICON.)

[@ashweathered7963]

Cheers John.

[@rjung_ch]

John, that Beethoven was also used in 'A Clockwork Orange', also a nice one 🙂

What crimper is that can I ask? Beautiful video and truck

[@rb16sk8]

Very cool video. Glad i came across your channel. Question though: Are you the same John Reynolds that competed in TTC with a gnarly bronco?

[@JohnReynolds661]

Why yes, I did in 2002 with the Fat City Bronco.

[@weshipitjamaica4354]

Hahahaha Shot across the bow to ICON? Showcar?

[@larstell]

Have I missed when the Ratrod got ready?😢

[@JeepCherokeeful]

If it’s a nice Bronco restore it! Efi conversion could be ok but that’s about it.

[@stoneshrink]

I'm doing a similar swap on a Jeep. For added complexity, it's my wife's Jeep.... and my wife is an engineer. I just pray I have your chipper attitude when this is done. shoot me, please?

[@k4x4map46]

noice!!

[@spikestubbs210]

For $200K I'll get an Icon.

[@KevinButler35]

Then go buy one and don’t watch his video.

[@Halfwheelhell]

fantastic build! Can you tell who makes the aluminum expansion tank you installed at :55 ?

[@JohnReynolds661]

Kincer does. It also incorporates a wiper fluid tank reservoir.

[@mikey9999]

Great skills but why a diesel?

[@JohnReynolds661]

Thanks. He has an ICON Bronco with a Coyote engine but complains that the high strung engine is all top end and not that much fun to drive

[@rjung_ch]

Cat videos! 100 hours wiring? That's a lot. 👍💪✌

[@freeidaho-videos]

Wow, just wow. For $200K one can have a 6 second 4000hp drag car built. For $200K one can have three custom built best rock crawler buggies on the planet. For $200K one can buy 10 brand new fastest motorcycles available. For $200K one can buy a new helicopter. Color me amazed.

[@delbuxton2092]

Great craftsmanship and a nice vehicle but not a $200k vehicle. With $200k, you can get a new TRX and new Tahoe Duramax with thousands left for fuel.

[@scrappy7571]

Don't forget money for the DEF, and money for the rental while the duramax is at the dealer waiting for parts

[@FYMASMD]

It’s not a bronco anymore. More money than brains. 200k is silly.

[@theprofessorfate6184]

I can't believe anyone would be stupid enough to waste that much money on a rattle trap of a vehicle like this. There is a very good reason why people abandoned these vehicles years ago. And no, if you think they look good, you're wrong.

[@cecilandrews7479]

Nice work. But to see a early Bronco in that condition, having the drivetrain altered and putting a Cheesy diesel in it is insulting. Project like this should have had just a frame aftermarket tub Angola town with it.

[@lostinthedesert6149]

Some dorky baby boomer finally got his Hands on his moms fortune, after she finally kicked the bucket Now he’s finally going to be the cool kid with the trick bronco, like he so desperately wanted to, in 1972 Money was no object

Pretty fun story, but the real story is he's an undocumented migrant that perfected the skill of squatting. Somehow, he's able to seize the deed from the duped owner and sell the house. It's hard work but gets him nice stuff.
