DANNY: Jeanette and Joe-- man, these are some cool people.
They brought us their beloved Bronco
to get some very special custom touches on her
and to make sure that she's ready to rock
for at least another 20 years.
Nick did an amazing job commemorating some
of the family heroes on the hood of this truck,
and I cannot wait to see the look in their eyes
when they land on this beautiful brand-new 20-year-old Bronco.
I gotta ask you some questions before we get into the Bronco,
OK?
Now what year is this again? '90--
- '96. - '96.
And you've had her for how long?
I'm the original owner.
- The original owner of this? - Yeah.
This is a really nice vehicle.
So what are you all going to do with this truck now?
Well, we're still going to keep it as our workhorse.
We're going to drive it around.
Your workhorse? JOE: Yeah.
It's too beautiful to be a workhorse.
I know, but then what's the sense of having it
if you can't show it off?
I love it.
It's really cool, and I think you guys are going
to have a ball in it, so--
- You're getting me going now. - [laughing]
- Should we just look at it? - Yes.
Quit talking about it? Come on.
All right. I'm ready.
Ryan, come on, man. [music playing]
Bring out that Bronco.
[engine starting]
Soak it in.
Oh wow.
JEANETTE: What is that?
[laughing] Wow.
Oh, god.
Wow.
Look at-- unbelievable.
Beyond my wildest dreams.
DANNY: We made some necessary mechanical and cosmetic fixes
on this Bronco to make her look like new, but man, oh, man.
Ryan's beautiful paint job coupled with Nick's portrait
work transformed this Bronco's hood
into a piece of art that would look right
at home hanging in a museum.
But we didn't stop there, man.
We installed that brand-new crate
engine straight from Ford, disc brakes all the way around.
And inside, Pauly did that beautiful double diamond
stitched interior, complete with a gun
safe in the center console.
I'm so proud of my guys and how beautifully
they did this truck.
You brought us a very original, clean vehicle.
So everything has been gone through on her,
and then we put a brand-new set of tires on it.
These are Cooper Discoverer A/T3's, so brand-new.
Nobody's got these yet.
They're a whole new line that Cooper's come out with.
These are their All-Terrain 3's.
American made-- they're fantastic.
So you're going to dig the ride on that going along.
OK.
DANNY: The drivetrain-- all new.
The engine-- all new.
Everything is all new, so she drives like a brand-new truck,
like she should.
And she looks better than any brand-new truck could look.
Originally, what you guys started out with
was an Eddie Bauer edition Bronco.
What I wanted to do was get a little '70s in it
from the older model Broncos where
they brought the two-tone line on the bottom over the wheel
well.
They kind of pushed the fender flares out a little bit.
Lowers the top of the vehicle, but makes
the bottom of the vehicle look much higher.
And he slipped in some beautiful stars and stripes.
JOE: Yes.
DANNY: You guys wanted it patriotic,
but you didn't want to make a billboard out of it, so--
JOE: Correct. Correct.
[click] - There it is.
There it is.
Oh, wow.
So literally everything under the hood is factory Ford,
but it's brand-new. JOE: Wow.
DANNY: So this is ready to be driven
for another gazillion miles, and you're not going
to have any issues with it.
And I will. DANNY: Absolutely.
It's done everywhere inside now.
Watch your hands.
[thump]
Solid.
Rock solid.
The mural on the hood--
who we got here?
JOE: That's my father.
DANNY: That's your father. JEANETTE: In the Navy, yeah.
JOE: In World War II. JEANETTE: In the Navy.
DANNY: In World War II. JOE: Right.
DANNY: God bless him.
- My brother. - Your brother.
He was in Vietnam War also, during that time frame.
DANNY: Amen. JOE: Myself.
DANNY: Yourself.
That's a handsome man right there.
ALL: [laughing] DANNY: I love it.
JEANETTE: That's the man I married.
[laughing] DANNY: I love it.
Oh, my god, I love it.
JOE: This is my nephew Brian.
DANNY: How do you feel about the hood?
Oh--
Correct?
No words could describe how I'm feeling.
Amen.
From the bottom my heart, I can't thank you enough.
JEANETTE: We're taking our family with us wherever we go.
That's beautiful.
Man, I'm so glad that Jeannette and Joe are
thrilled with this truck, man.
And I'm so happy that another military tribute
vehicle has come out of my shop, Count's Kustoms.
Glad you guys are happy, and that's all--
JEANETTE: More than happy. - That's what we wanted.
JEANETTE: It's got your stink on it.
Amen.
JEANETTE: [laughing]
DANNY: Got our stink all over it, baby.
