In a tribute to the past, The Broken Pony embarked on a restoration journey with a 1967 Bronco that captured the essence of time itself. This unique project celebrated the vehicle's original patina, rust, and dents – preserving them as a time capsule – while undergoing a meticulous body-off-frame restoration that would breathe new life into every aspect. Capturing Time's Patina The 1967 Bronco arrived at our doorstep bearing the marks of decades of life. Rather than erase these signs of age, we chose to honor them. The original patina, rust, and dents told a story of the vehicle's journey, and we believed they deserved a place in its future. Each blemish became a cherished detail, a testament to the Bronco's enduring history. A Perfectly Imperfect Time Capsule Our restoration approach involved locking in the original patina, preserving the Bronco's weathered charm as a testament to the passage of time. The surface was treated with precision, protecting the existing layers while ensuring the patina's integrity. This resulted in a perfect time capsule that encapsulated decades of memories, journeys, and adventures. Reviving the Essence While the exterior was celebrated for its age, the heart of the Bronco deserved meticulous attention. The body-off-frame restoration allowed us to meticulously rebuild every component. Our skilled technicians breathed new life into the mechanical aspects, ensuring that the vehicle's performance matched its renewed aesthetic. Balancing Preservation and Restoration Preserving the patina while restoring the mechanical and structural aspects required a delicate balance. Our team meticulously disassembled the Bronco, ensuring every detail was documented and restored to its former glory. This approach allowed us to honor the vehicle's history while ensuring it would not only look authentic but drive like a dream.
