Nicks Trix - Big Easy BuildBronco Build Specifications
Services performed by Nick’s Trix Custom Fabrication:

1976 Bronco
This truck has had a hard life and had spent some time as a mud bogger.The owner had long wanted a bronco, purchased this one and drove it for a short while. It was unreliable and ill handling. It went into storage until he was ready to have it redone. Upon it's arrival our initial inspection revealed it was riddled with rust and after a chem strip a good percentage of it would need to be replaced.

All in all, "The Big Easy" is a perfect example of saving a classic Bronco from the scrapyard and turning it into a beautiful ride! It will enjoy it's new home in Louisiana.
