This 1973 Ford Bronco custom SUV, known as SkyDweller, is powered
by a Gen III 5.0-liter Coyote V-8 engine paired with a 10R80
10-speed automatic transmission and an Atlas transfer case with
four-wheel drive. The drivetrain includes rebuilt front and rear
differentials and a 23-gallon stainless-steel fuel tank. A complete
stainless-steel exhaust system is installed. The frame, axles and
associated hardware are powder-coated, and the Bronco rides on a
3.5-inch suspension lift with Bilstein shocks. Wilwood four-wheel
disc brakes feature hydro-boost assist. It rides on Detroit Steel
John R wheels that are powder-coated and custom pinstriped, with
matching powder-coated front and rear bumpers and a Krawlers Edge
roll cage. The build began with a new body that was extensively
body worked and finished with show-quality paint, including
attention to panel fit and gaps. The doors were fitted for smooth
operation, while the hood and rear hatch have gas struts. The color
and design theme was inspired by the blue-green and Everose gold
combination of the Rolex Sky-Dweller, with complementary finishes
applied to the wheels, bumpers, roll cage, steering wheel and
additional trim. The dash and hardtop are color-matched to the
exterior with a satin finish that contrasts with the high-gloss
body. The custom interior is upholstered in genuine leather with
basket-weave inserts and Alcantara accents, along with a suede
Alcantara headliner. Equipment includes heated seats, a custom
center console, security key fob, push-button start and integrated
wireless phone charging. A new tilt steering column is fitted with
a custom SPARC steering wheel that is leather-wrapped and
powder-coated. Dakota Digital instrumentation and digital Vintage
Air climate control are installed. An Alpine touchscreen receiver
is connected to a JL Audio amplifier, Morel Virtus Nano Carbon
component speakers and a JL Audio 10-inch subwoofer in a custom
matching rear enclosure. Sound-deadening material is installed
throughout. Additional equipment includes an all-new wiring system,
custom one-piece door windows and all-new glass, seals and
weatherstripping.
