Before and after...

[Jody Treadway]

Maybe I'm bored, maybe I'm excited to wheel this thing, maybe I wanna show off my hard work!
Bought this Ranger in the condition you see. Made a few pick ups at a local salvage yard and made a stop by Tractor Supply for New Holland blue Ford paint. Spend some time scuffing it up and sprayed some rattle can at it. Didn't turn out too badly at all!

Looks great Jody. Ready to see it in person this weekend.

 

[broncosbybart]

[Blaze]

Nice work!

 

[Stuntman Autoworks]

Looks good Jody ready to see some of that nice blue paint on some rocks and trees out at the flats.

 

[HDMike]

Come on man. Let it rest...










I used copper. It bends easier.

Shouldn't have painted the copper. Polish it and seal it!

cool ass rig.

Should have seen me soldering the copper to the frame rails.

I want some tires like that..... Looks good!

 

[Lurch830]

Looks good & makes me miss my old Ranger. It was the exact color!

Not to hijack, but I'd recommend clear coating it if you don't want it to fade and its not going to be garage kept. I painted mine in '08 & when I sold it in '12 it had faded pretty bad since it was always outside.
Before: After ('08): After ('12):

Thanks @Lurch830. It'll be garage kept but I do plan to apply some clear to it soon enough. I appreciate the tip.

Looks like a really good spray bomb job! I don't know if it is the color or what it is, but it looks much better. Any tips on getting it to come out so nice? I'd be afraid to wheel it now if it was mine, lol!

What are the specs on that truck? I like it. I think I remember seeing it for sale on here a while back.

What size solder did you use? Doing some research for an up coming build

Mustang 306, B cam, GT40p heads, etc. C6, flipped 300, 44 front ARB, Superiors and Longfields and a Moser 8.8 out back. 3 link front and 4 link rear on Fox 2.5 air shocks. Pretty legit rig. Climbs like a drunken mountain goat and has a litle bit of "whoopow".

Won't be long you will be back in a Comanche... you are slowly but surely working that direction.

Stop by anytime. Follow the stench. Last night was junkyard Sterling night. The shop is damn ripe right now.
