We spent about a year restoring the 1968 Early Bronco Half Cab that Emily’s father, Hogdaddy, gave her. Hogdaddy did most of the heavy lifting back in 2017. We did a bunch of things that the average person can’t even tell were done. But, the things we did made it much safer and more reliable. …
Our little Ford Bronco was called into action. After 54 years of trying it finally made it to Nashville and into a country music gig. The country music duo Southerland is releasing a song called “Down The Road”. They used our Bronco in their video. I’m not really a fan of modern country music but …
