My wife and I were watching Overhaulin when they did the Bronco build. As the friends and family were relating to the camera crew how much the Bronco meant to the owner and how happy he would be to see it when they were done, I could see the wheels turning in her head. I looked at her and said "don't even think about it." I'd much rather have something I built, not bought. But still much respect for the hot rod shops out there. You guys are a dying breed. I just wish I had the time, and space, to build a few more projects. Such as: 1956 F100; 1940 DeSoto Deluxe or Plymouth sedan, 4 door with the rear suicides (wife's choice); or pretty much anything made pre-60.
