NvrMade's current home on the web

Well, for now this will be where I update the world on the progress of NvrMade.

What's NvrMade?

NvrMade is a 1976 Ford Excursion. Yup. Excursion. "But they never made and Excursion is 1976!!" That's right. They didn't. But I am. That's why it's called NvrMade. FORD "nvr made" one.

Why is it an Excursion? Why not an Expedition?

NvrMade is based on a Ford F-250 3/4 ton chassis. The rear end being used in the project is a Dana 70 dually. The Ford Excursion is based on the Ford Superduty (3/4 Ton & up) chassis. Therefore, if Ford ever made this truck in 1976, it would have been an Excursion.

Where the F*ck did you get the idea for this?

I picked up the F-250 back in October of 2000 down in Tucson, AZ. It was an old farm truck that was for sale down the street from me that I thought would make a great work truck some day. The thing had gobs of power with its 390 mated to a four speed. After returning to Phoenix in January of 2001, I drove it for four months before my employer gave me a '96 Bronco to drive as a company truck. I parked the F-250 for over a year. In the meantime I ran across a picture of a four door bronco from the same era of my truck. It looked pretty badass. Check it out. Picador The more I thought about it the more I looked into building something like this. I made measurements with my frame and the frame from a standard cab longbed ends up being perfect with some of the bodymods I am doing. A "Stock" four door bronco would require moving the axle back about two inches on this frame. You'll see why later I won't have to do this mod. While auiring the Bronco and crew cab parts needed, I came across a Dana 70 dually rear end and got the idea to add it into the mix. Now, every four door conversion I've seen is a 4x4. I like 4x4's, but I also like to be original. An innovator. So mine's getting slammed. Laying frame and body on 19" rims. Maybe 22" if I can figure out how to fit 32" of tire in a truck that will have a roofline 48" off the ground.

That's Insane.

That's why I'm doing it. Go big or go home right? Remember, I'm the one that was customizing a Ford Escort in the late 90's when everyone else was doing Civics. Now look, people are customizing everything from Maximas to Scion whatever-they-ares.

When's it going to be done?

Well, the projected major milestones are Novemberfest 2005 for the finished frame, and SEMA 2006 for stage one completion. Stage two completion should give NvrMade some modifications for the SEMA 2007 show while the next project is being built in the NvrBuild Chop Shop.

When is the real project website going to debut?

Hopefully the end of March 2005. NvrMade Chop Shop (my garage) is almost complete and design will begin on the website within the next few weeks. Vehicle renderings should be released in late February. Sponsorship portfolios will be ready once the website is up and running smoothly, probably late April.
