1968 Ford Bronco
Jay Leno’s 1968 Bronco needed to be restored so he turned to his friends at Ford Motor Company and SEMA Garage to engage the experts in the industry to make over his heritage Bronco. Ford Performance supported the build with a 5.2L new GT500 engine. Ford engaged two of their top Bronco licensees, Kincer Chassis to build the chassis and install the drivetrain and Dennis Carpenter to provide body panels. SEMA Garage assisted with their technical expertise in CAD, 3D Printing and calibration work. Jay reached out to LGE-CTS Motorsports, a female owned shop, that helped lead the build with body, paint, and final assembly to help bring it all together.
