Bought my friends chopped and bagged '94 Ranger..

[CraKel]

That chop is sweeet.. Id love to do that to mine, but seems like a hell of alot of work for a minor body mod. Still very unique not many rangers have a crusier looks like that.

whats the plan for it?

I have always wondered what people do for glass when they do chop tops. Custom made ?

just have to cut 3 inches out of the windshield, the one thats in there now was a practice windshield that was already cracked. The side windows I'm pretty much screwed on unless I want to spend a lot of money, I'll just keep them rolled down at shows, lol. The black glass I'll cut a piece of lexan to fit.

It is a hell of a lot of work, but it actually does make a difference, the side profile of the truck is way different.

whats the plan for it?

Finish it!

a nice flat black job (not some hokey spray bomb job), sheetmetal bedfloor, Modified '01 4x4 hood, seriously considering an explorer frontend, '57 GMC dash that I have laying around, bodydrop, custom make a bench seat, get a tilt column, figure out something for back glass, there'll be a few other things for sure.

j'57 GMC dash that I have laying around

Whaaaa? That's going to be some kind of cool looking interior!

Yeah, that front valance thing looks goofy. Matter of fact, so does the bumper. Too much BULK out there. Something fabricated from sheet metal that blends into the fenders. Maybe like this a little:

i'm very glad you're not letting it stay with that terrible two tone scheme

Will - your pic link is not working?

 

[ZMan]

I'm interesting in seeing what that picture was Will!

Ya Ryan it looks like a creamsicle at the moment. It would have been nice, the final plan was Sunrise Orange Pearl from House of Kolor, with Pearl White. Since its my truck now though, its gonna get painted how I want to paint it, lol.

I'm getting these gauges to go in the '57 Dash..

 

[ryan]

do you have any pics of the dash? can't picture what it would look like

 

[ZMan]

heres a pic when I found the cab at a junkyard 4 years ago. We're putting the dash out of our rusted cab into this one, since we prefer the looks of the Chevy dash over the GMC dash. What better use than to stick it in a Ranger?

nice preject, i bet its going to look killer when finished

 

[ZMan]

did a little work to it over easter weekend..

my cousin got me a 12 gallon tank for my birthday, so I plumbed it in. Had to take apart the valve setup for the drivers rear bag, it was the only one leaking, and was leaking bad for some reason. Its all good now though, holds decent pressure for a few hours now.

The roof panel I cut out of my '92 for the superdome, going to use it to patch up the roof on this, since its a mess and I'm embarrassed I did it.

holding itself up for the first time in a long time.

 

[Andres629]

Ummm... what is this "Superdome" that you speak of?

It's just me, and I don't know how tall you are, but I wouldn't do a body drop on it, I think it looks good the way it sits, also a tall person like me wouldn't be able to ride in it.


by the by, it's looking sharp.
