Happy Easter everyone. Yesterday I spent most of the day cleaning and re organizing the shop and the Ranger did not get any attention, but it was shop time and really enjoyed my results. Hoping to get out in the shop and do a few things before church and then after we have some family things to do but hope to get some small things done after family.
My goal was to build this truck for around $6000 including purchase, probably won't miss it by much. Monday I am having my front end looked at for alignment. I have my Steering parts, but I am sure I will need Suspension parts and should of rebuilt it earlier in this build.
I will let the body filler sit for a month or more to dry and shrink. I will take a few days off from work to disassemble truck, remove door handles, locks...final sanding and filler work, paint, and re assembly. Painting is a big job.
The following is somewhat the order I am going in the next steps and gives me an idea of what to order next. front end rebuild, body bushings, fenders,carpet,headliner,AC,paint,window seals,exhaust pipe,windshield,stereo,wheels,cruise control,receiver hitch.
