Looks good john good work man looks 10x better then before

 

Yeah its alot better than when I got it. I haven't got a chance to do anything too it between work and family...lol

 

yeah looks awesome, the way you painted the hood, to me, mimicks the powerdome but without the bubble. very nice.

 

i follow all your builds and you do a very good job from what i see, im very jealous i dont have the funds, energy, time or any of that other stuff to do what you do.

 

looks great man my trucks coming down next week to get painted sound good lol

 

Thanks man, keep in mind I started with an 800 dollar ranger and built up from there. It just takes work. Everytime I sell one part of the money goes back to the house or christmas or something and the rest is reinvested...


Bring it down, I just got a new paint roller...lol

 

Downey be the first one with textured paint on the whole Ranger.

 

It'll look like linex

 

truck looks awesome

 

Thanks, hopefully I'll get it back together this weekend...lol

 

Well I did a little this evening after we went to dinner right after work. I finished painting the frame, then I got rid of the tracktor muffler(I still have to get a coupling for the front because the pipes were off an extended cab), and sat the bed back on it. Watch for some progress over the weekend!

 

Did you paint the wheels and get paint on the tires?

 

What did you paint the frame with? It makes the frame look like a new one.

 

I got paint on the tires because like dummy I didn't cover them. I know better...lol I painted the frame with black spray cans and then used undercoating, not perfect but much better!

 

Well I got the bed all bolted on, rear bumper, tails, and tailgate handle out back. Got the flares painted and installed and the front bumper is what I was working on. Thought I'd take a couple pics before dark.

 

Looks so much better than it did when you first picked it up.

 

hmm I don't know if i like the black bumper and flares. guess i'll have to wait till its all put together. But it doesn't matter what you do to it those mirrors look so bad i hate them.

 

Thanks Cody. Yeah I intended to paint the bumper green but ran out of green paint so I just used some black I had. Sorry to all the flag mirror haters, I don't have another set of mirrors that are not power and I'm not going to buy them because it will probably be for sale next week...lol

 

Looks awesome man, paint the bumper to match the flare and you'll be set. Nothing wrong with the flag mirrors I'm rocking them proudly.

 

I haven't got around to doing some buffing and major cleaning but I took a few pics this evening. As far as progress, yesterday I polished up a set of center caps and installed them. I also sprayed a little undercoating on the seams in the bed and installed the bedliner(still dirty). Tonight I vacumned down the a/c and installed the a/c control in the dash, to my suprise when I started adding freon the compessor kicked right in and it works great...awesome! Anyway here's a few pics...

 

looks good man

 

Thanks, I actually have a list of things to do before I call it done. Install the valance, buff it, paint the rear bumper...

 

I am really digging the paint job.

 

I think the t-bars need a little crank too seems like too much rake. But I do like the paint but color matched flares and bumper would have been better if you had more paint.

 

Yeah cranking the bars a little is onthe list. I agree on the color match...except the mudflaps would look weird green
