Well it's been a fun build. This is as far as I'm taking this truck and don't plan on building any ford's in the future......thanks TRS.......infamous Mazda signing out!!!!!! ✌️

Been driving !!!!!

Finally out of the shop and driving

Built bumper brackets out of the old Mazda brackets. Cut them down and turned them side ways and welded them on. I used the slotted holes so I could have some adjustment if needed. Mercury bumper loosely mounted

Mercury headlights wired up.

Fenders are done and painted.

I got the roof kind of roughed in and sprayed it with rubber undercoating. I'm not going flawless this is a low budget ratrod kind of build. Got about half the truck done in the baby blue fauxtina

There it is with the glass installed. I already wired up the switch. Just need to finish the bodywork on the roof and run the drain lines down the pillars. I had to weld a piece of 1" square tubing with a nut inside that hung down about 1 and 1/4" on the inside of the roof on each side to hold...

More body work

Thanks. I have had several vehicles with sunroofs and never had an issue..... I guess different luck for different people.

Cut a patch panel out of the roofskin I removed for the sunroof frame. Tacked it in.

Used the clamps and started doing slow tacks. Bad lighting in the pics but it is turning out pretty good. I have about a 2inch long area with a little bit of a gap, but I have a piece of brass I can put up under it and weld it out. Once I get it tacked pretty well I will cut the patch panel for...

So I started on the roof today. The giant dent was getting to me. When I got the mountaineer I removed the sunroof before I scrapped it. As bad and the roof dent was I knew I wouuld have to cut a patch panel and replace that spot so I figured might as well go all out and put a sunroof in it too...

One thing I have to look into is fixing this massive dent in the roof on the drivers side.....its definetly an attention getter!!!!😬

Lots of body work but its coming along. I also fixed the dent on the hood.

The rubber for the front windshield could be it..... If you just run a water hose on your roof and check right on the edge of your headliner. Mine is a 94 thats how I found the leak. It was barely getting the front edge of my headliner damp and the rest was running down a pillars to the carpet...

Another pic

Mocked up grill and header panel. Wanna make sure everything lines up before I finish welding the fenders.

Lined the two up and clamped then together. Time for some slow paced tacking and cooling.
