    This website does not instill confidence

    Expensive supercars don't get airbags, but this small company with a cell phone number includes 6 airbags? I don't think bolting on an airbag system is the same level of protection as one designed at a big manufacturer's testing ground -- even big companies often change specific airbag designs (such as vents) because it's very hard to get right the first time even with huge testing grounds.

    Then again, I wouldn't be left guessing so much if there was more than 1 page on their site - I'm thinking there's better value, safety, and similar cool factor in an actual new Bronco

      They show the factory in their video on the page, it's a new modern car chassis with the vintage look (so it's not a Ford Bronco chassis but the external look is inspired by it).

        I don't get it. The Ford Bronco is in production and is also inspired by the earlier Bronco.

        The post is an ad. And I don't see why any "Restomod" can't have airbags, crumble zones, etc.
