Ok so I guess I messed up some how I tried to upload more pictures
I got a message that I was exceeding my quota so I removed some and now they are all gone ... how do I fix this? Do i have to download them all over again? Or can everyone still see them?

I had the same floormats in my '02 for awhile, glad to see you found something they are good for besides getting stuck under pedals. :icon_thumby:

Posting your pics at a third party site like Flikr or imgur (there are others too) and linking them to here works about the best.

I do use the floor mats for learning over edges keeps from sharp edges poking the ribs lol. ..but I still use floor mats in my rides
I run a bolt through the floor real close to the seat put a nut on to lock the bolt......then slide the floor mat over them use a wing nut to hold the mat in place giving easy ability to remove for cleaning

So the hood turned out absolutely beautiful.....

My body guy claims that him and his guys have approximately 150 hours in the hood combined between 3 of them he says it will NOT crack .
one did the bonding and fiberglass work ..one did the bondo / body work (get it close) and the boss did the blocking and final prep ..... the truck has 4 coats of ford (gu3) (3gu) (g3u)? paint code dont remember what he said and 5 coats of clear it's ready for cut and buff but I've been busy building my wife's truck so I've been driving the ranger and haven't been able to take it back to him yet

My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
150 man-hours X $50/hr =$7500

It’s a beautiful hood but too expensive for me. I hope he didn’t charge you by the hour.

No I didn't pay that much I assembled a on3 turbo kit front mount intercooler tubular k member manual rack fuel system and p.i.m.p ecu with a good base tune in a foxbody mustang for him for a huge chunk off of it but I still gave a bit in cash too for supplies and stuff....it ended up being a even deal after we set down put everything on paper we were both happy no profit either way
