Take, for instance, our 1970 Bronco and 1971 Ford Bronco builds. They’re not just old Broncos; they’re vintage Broncos meticulously brought up to date with modern technology, comfort, and extended reliability. We blend the old-school Bronco charm with contemporary performance, creating a driving experience that redefines what it means to own a classic vehicle.

The Allure of Classic Cars

Classic cars captivate with their timeless design, undeniable charm, and a connection to a bygone era. Their appeal goes beyond aesthetics, tapping into a nostalgia for a simpler time when cars were not just modes of transportation but symbols of freedom and artistry. However, the romance of owning a vintage car often clashes with the harsh realities of their age: aging mechanical systems, hidden rust, and the constant need for maintenance can tarnish the dream. Traditional restorations, with their never-ending timelines and escalating costs, can transform the dream into a daunting, often financially draining nightmare.

Evolution of Craftsmanship

Our journey into the world of classic Ford Broncos began with an in-depth appreciation of their rich heritage. From the charming baby blue Broncos of 1967 to the rugged green variants from the ‘70s, our mission was to honor the legacy of these timeless models. Initially, restoring these icons was a costly endeavor, yet the value they added to the lives of collectors and enthusiasts was beyond monetary measure. This realization propelled us to not just restore, but to redefine what it means to own a classic vehicle. We aimed to simplify the ownership experience, making it as rewarding as the vehicles themselves.

Bridging Tradition and Innovation

Our first Bronco project set the tone for our future endeavors—a testament to craftsmanship and dedication. After many more to follow, and thousands of hours testing and miles driven, Velocity found the recipe for the ultimate classic Bronco. From there the business model changed into creating a steady and repeatable process, building our Broncos only using the best components. Unlike vehicles hastily assembled in makeshift garages or those devoid of soul,, our Broncos are reborn through the hands of skilled artisans on a repeatable process.. Embracing Henry Ford’s pioneering assembly line method, we’ve infused it with contemporary features and technology, enhancing driveability and comfort without compromising the Bronco’s original spirit.

Velocity’s Assembly Line

STATION 1 / BODY MOCKUP

Each vehicle starts as a bare frame that is powder-coated to ensure long-lasting durability. The vehicle body is then set on top of the frame to “mockup” the vehicle, this includes ensuring body gaps meet all requirements.

STATION 2 / EXHAUST & ROLL CAGE

Each roll cage is individually fit to the vehicle to ensure a seamless design. A custom exhaust system is also crafted to ensure your vehicle sounds as good as it looks.

STATION 3 / BODY PREP

Details matter and nowhere is that more apparent than in your body work. Each vehicle’s body is stripped to bare metal and body shop technicians correct and refine all panels. Priming, sanding, and bodywork preparation is completed for painting.

STATION 4 / PAINT

Custom Glasurit paint is sprayed on the body tub and panels of your vehicle. Velocity utilizes four down-draft paint booths in the paint facility to ensure the highest standard of finish. The underbody is sprayed with Raptor Lining for heat management and long-lasting protection.

STATION 5A / ELECTRICAL

During this station each vehicle’s wiring harness is built and installed into the painted body. The dash and electrical components are also assembled and then installed into the vehicle.

STATION 5B / CHASSIS

While electrical technicians work on the body, new drivetrain and suspension components are assembled onto the frame. At the end of the week, the painted body is mounted to the completed chassis.

STATION 6 / MECHANICAL

Technicians connect all electrical and mechanical parts of the vehicle. Depending on your model, the Ford 5.0L Coyote or Chevy 6.2L LT1 V8 engine is fired up for the first time allowing the vehicle to move under its own power to the next station.

STATION 7 / ASSEMBLY & TRIM SHOP

Technicians connect all electrical and mechanical parts of the vehicle. Depending on your model, the Ford 5.0L Coyote or Chevy 6.2L LT1 V8 engine is fired up for the first time allowing the vehicle to move under its own power to the next station.

Technicians connect all electrical and mechanical parts of the vehicle. Depending on your model, the Ford 5.0L Coyote or Chevy 6.2L LT1 V8 engine is fired up for the first time allowing the vehicle to move under its own power to the next station.

Technicians connect all electrical and mechanical parts of the vehicle. Depending on your model, the Ford 5.0L Coyote or Chevy 6.2L LT1 V8 engine is fired up for the first time allowing the vehicle to move under its own power to the next station.

Each Bronco that rolls out of our workshop is a blend of traditional values and modern innovation. Our builders, true specialists in their fields, bring a personal touch to each vehicle, ensuring that every Bronco is not just built but meticulously crafted.
