My 90 Ranger project

Hello everyone,

Have owned my Ranger for about 15 years now. Always loved it, but was too busy with my girls travel sports to do anything with it. Now that they have grown I decided to start working on it. Never done any body work or painting before, but with trial and error figured it out..ok, sure it's nowhere near perfect but I'm pretty happy so far.

And as soon as I can figure out how to post the pics I will start!..ha

Started out with white over blue. Always wanted to totally black it out. Had some rust to fix, was much harder than a figured it out be. Learned not to sand all the bondo you put on back off !

Is there a way to post pics so they come up? thanks in advance.

Body work done to the best of my ability..ha. Also sanded, primed and painted wheels for now. Keeping my eye out for a good deal on them.

Ok, thought I figured it out, and I get a red X...ugh.

Create and account at
http://photobucket.com/
then upload all your bmp files to your photobucket account. Its free. After you've uploaded to photobucket you'll notice that on the page that each image appears on the right hand side there will be a box labeled links. In this box you will look for the IMG code. It'll be a big line of text. Just copy and paste that text into the forum and your done. You'll need an IMG code for each photo.

Pretty clean looking truck. What are the plans? Lift it or lower it? I'd also leave it the factory two tone. Too many blacked out trucks out there.
There is one near me and the guy painted over the rust. It could be suchs a nice truck if that was taken care of.
