whazzup guys, im Ransom Lockwood (RangeRansom) from RPS and FRF.

i recently sold tom stare a hood (hazmatRanger) and he told me i should join.

my truck is currently under construction, im dropping in a new/used motor, Z'ing the front clip 2-2,1/2 inches, welding in a step notch and doing a frankenstein front end (01-03 powerdome hood, 98-00 grille, 04 headerpanel & headlights and 07 bumper/valance)
and she's also getting a 98+ mazda bed swap, and a full exhaust set-up!

i will be rolling around on a static "Z" until i can afford to bag her out!

so here's some pics for yall to enjoy her in the current state...








and here's one as of last night, im getting the bed ready to sell...




well, hopefully ill be hanging around here more, cause im on RPS all day!!

Hey, Welcome! Nice looking truck, love the lettering on the tail gate. Someone else new said they had a project in the works and I said, they all are. I used to be on RPS all the time also until they changed some of the formating.
