Coming along nicely. Your smile is getting bigger Jason. Doug

[@JasonJonieBuilds]

Ha..Yes sir! Very long road to get to this point. Thanks Doug

[@robschaffer2189]

YES!! Awesome!

[@JasonJonieBuilds]

Thanks Rob!

[@booncha1971]

This is....AWESOME! WOW WOW WOW !

[@JasonJonieBuilds]

Thank you!

[@angelokinget4894]

I gotta say that your patience, commitment to detail and functionality is world class. I really enjoyed watching this build and how it's come together. Your videos motivate and teach me to always do the right thing and no short cuts are allowed when building out my Bronco to my visions. Now I just need to learn how to be patient. Your Bronco looks fantastic and I think the contrast between the undercoating and suspension really stands out perfectly. Looking forward to the next Video!

[@JasonJonieBuilds]

Thank you Angelo! I hope your build turns out like your vision. We appreciate you watching.

[@jackcox5337]

Looks great man. I remember that day. I am a little ahead of you. I have a 73 and am about 90% complete. Yaaa

[@JasonJonieBuilds]

Thanks Jack! That is awesome you are so close. We are getting there. Trying to make a show in November.

[@tom4139]

Thanks! We really like it too.

[@sammy9452]

Looks good, took mine to shop and got rip off, so backing up and regrouping. Thanks for your and your wife time on this.

[@JasonJonieBuilds]

Sorry to hear that Sammy. It is something that happens all too often.

[@rustyscrews3946]

Wow that looks great!!!!! The hard work pays off. Can't wait to see it going down the road.

[@JasonJonieBuilds]

Thank you Bob! We sure hope it turns out nice in the end.

[@TrustingJesus67]

I have an Associate Degree in Electronic Technology. Can't remember things, (but) I like to do experiments in free energy. I've put together some interesting things (but) my (buts) hurt. I've gotten shocked a few times and that would be my (but) problem. lol. It's coming together great. It looks like a Bronco now. God Bless

[@JasonJonieBuilds]

Ha Jack! Yep we all have those buts... in the things we do.

[@kevinginter3648]

Love the way this has come together. The smile on your face was worth it all. Can’t wait to see the rest of the progress. You guys have been killing it. Thanks for making all of this stuff look easy. Definitely motivational.

[@JasonJonieBuilds]

Thanks Kevin! We appreciate you following the build.

[@mikevovos2617]

[@JasonJonieBuilds]

Thank you sir.

[@callofgeorge]

[@JasonJonieBuilds]

Thanks! We are getting there. We hope to get the bumpers and flares on this weekend.

[@toddwatts6616]

Oh yeah !! Looks good!!

[@JasonJonieBuilds]

Thanks Todd!

Beautiful!

[@JasonJonieBuilds]

Thanks Drew!

[@alpinegarage8548]

Stunning!

[@JasonJonieBuilds]

Thank you!

[@mattclore3995]

Great to see you so happy with the work you’ve done so far. You’ve done sooo much work and haven’t cut any corners, a truly beautiful job. Well done 👍🏼

[@JasonJonieBuilds]

Thank you Matt! We have tried to make it a real nice Bronco without breaking the budget completely.

[@mattclore3995]

Anyone can use a credit card and go out and buy all the cool stuff. It’s a short list of the people that can do the work the right way. Quality craftsmanship beats bells and whistles every time

[@normbrooks1488]

What a great feeling, looks super nice! That color really pops. On to the next phase....Norm

[@JasonJonieBuilds]

Thanks Norm! We hope to paint the hood this week and be done with paint for the time being.

[@normbrooks1488]

Jason, what did you use for your fender bolts, hinge bolts etc....Thanks

[@JasonJonieBuilds]

I am using pan headed (allen wrench) ss bolts washers and nylon lock nuts. Also use a dab of anti seize.

[@ebluvr72]

Looks great!

[@JasonJonieBuilds]

Thanks!

[@jessebutler2583]

Wow, this looks awesome man! Y’all have killed it!

[@JasonJonieBuilds]

Thanks Jesse! We are super excited to get it put together.

[@TreyLuckie]

This thing is gonna be awesome! It needs a name! Got one yet?

[@JasonJonieBuilds]

Thanks Trey! We have called it Jimmy Buffett since we found out its original color. Also, we bought it in south Florida where it spent its life.

[@claytonthompson6595]

Hey man I love the videos… one suggestion I would make would be to organize all of your bronco restoration videos from beginning to end all in a playlist. I see that you have them organized from sections of the build, but it’s kind of hard to figure out what order to watch them in. Just a suggestion… love the videos, keep it up. Thanks!

[@JasonJonieBuilds]

Thanks for the suggestion Clayton. I will try to get that done. Thanks for watching.

[@kennethhowell1272]

What's been amazing is you have shown us the struggles you have encountered in this build, almost like a teacher saying to the student this is what you may encountered in your build and how I solved the issue. It is also quite apparent that in doing a Gen 1 Bronco build you really need to know about "all" the manufacturing changes Ford made to the Bronco that isn't necessarily visible. Like many I eagerly await your completion of the Bronco build, but also wonder if your considering building the other Gen 1's you have ?

[@JasonJonieBuilds]

Thank you Kenneth. We set out on this journey to build a channel showing our love for the process. I really like the steps and all the task through a build and that is where I get my satisfaction. As far as the channels future goes it is yet to be seen. I am not sure the time and effort it takes to do this will warrant us to do another full video project like this in the future. We will finish this one and see where it goes. I am one to finish what I start and have really enjoyed meeting so many nice folks with common interest. We really appreciate all those that have decided to follow us along the journey.

[@VigorPool]

nice！

[@JasonJonieBuilds]

Thanks!

[@nickefgen9219]

Great to see it coming together, I like the color, how come you didn’t do a six point roll cage? I would have went a six point roll cage

[@JasonJonieBuilds]

Thanks Nic! I felt since I would not be crawling this Bronco I would opt for comfort with the added protection for the family in the rear seats. I have driven Broncos with the cage in the floor boards and I was not comfortable. It was just personal preference.

[@nickefgen9219]

@@JasonJonieBuilds I’m going with a six point roll cage in my bronco, a friend and I are going to Tom’s off-road in two week’s for there event, I’m picking up some Part’s while I’m there, that’s one of the things I’m getting is a six point roll cage, I also am getting the electronic heater control switch from them to, that part does away with the old push pull cable from the factory I watched John Melton from Nashville broncos put one of those heater switch in his bronco

Wanted to ask if that a a spectra plenum? Also did you buy it as a kit or build it from parts?

[@JasonJonieBuilds]

Jack It is a Spectra. I just saw it in the catalog and I felt like I could make it work.
