Would you believe this isn’t ours?! Someone has made a pretty good clone of the RetroMod. It looks pretty good but begs the question, how would you feel if someone straight up copied your design and gave you zero credit for it? That’s the only part I don’t appreciate. 🤷‍♂️

What do you think?

Crazy. 😲

They made it their own by keeping the stock bumper. 😁

As they say....imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

If I did this, and I posted pictures of it on FB or Insta or certainly here on B6G, I would definitely say 'inspired by ITLRUN's restomod project' or something like that

I'd be pretty salty about it TBH. It's one thing to copy a component or too (ie; wheels) but this is virtually a clone of a unique build.

Well, I'd be a little peeved too, but likely to get over it quickly. I'd maybe reach out to the person and toast them for their achievement and see if they acknowledge the homage. If they come off nice, you may have a great new friend. If not, you didn't lose much. Who knows, this might be the next General Lee or Bandit trend.

I would have given you a huge nod for the inspiration to build my rig. Pretty classless to not acknowledge you and your build in some way. Almost a 100% copy of yours. Saw yours in Townsend back in April,,, very sweet build for sure.

I’ve got plenty of time. No wasted time here. I gave the guy props in his thread on FB. I was actually flattered, very flattered. I will admit it rubbed me the wrong way when he didn’t even acknowledge my reply or even mention our build as his inspiration.

I made stuff that got copied by other 6G members, and I'm ok with it. Even had a company on here that copied my grille lights, and then sold them as their own. No biggie, as I wasn't going to mass produce anything anyways. as soon as I have my bumpers finished, I bet there will be copies of those too..... Just have to live with it, and know that that is where they got their inspiration from. Don't put a frown on, just smile at what you have created, and others like it so much, they can't live without it...... ;)

Hey! Saw your Bronco at State Farm Arena last night! Pretty slick parking spot you had there. I was walking a friend to her car and I was like "Wait a minute... I know that Bronco!" Took a pic. That was a pleasant surprise. Looks beautiful in person btw!

Agreed. Somebody else made their Bronco look 30 years old too. Not that hard to "copy."

I wanted a spot where I would be able to leave quickly without waiting in line. 😆😂

We went to see Janes Addiction and Smashing Pumpkins. As you could tell, it’s driven everywhere. It was also nasty AF. 🤦‍♂️

That show was epic! We had VIP passes. Janes kicked ass! I told my buddies we went to see Janes Addiction and the SP closed for them. 😆😂
