looks nice. what's the wheel base?

rumored to be an LS3? that's weird :)

can't wait to see this thing, it looks pretty awesome. I really like the front upper shock mounts the most

The Bronco will be mostly used for prerunning and racer support for baja races. It will also be at SEMA this year and most shows on the west coast. I might race it in HDRA but the problem with racing is it just puts to much abuse on parts. But maybe 1 or two races a year.

it'd be cool to see a new 1400 with an OG Bronco body and wheel base

pretty sure i would drive out & camp in the dez to see that. i think it'd bring a lot of interest. i'd also say it's on a different level than *most* of the other 1450-ish Bronco entries that can't do C3 or other classes for motor combo or suspension.

i really enjoyed some of the pics, after looking with a real computer, rather than just my phone. looks like she's getting close to being a runner.
