My idea of a Shelby Ranger if there would have been one.


In this episode had to pull the gauges back out... Fix Speedo cable.. My girlfriend and I started working on the hidden hitch :icon_welder:. She did all the measuring and told me where to cut!! We got quite a lot done! Oh yeah re wired the tach light and the white face lights so they don't come on everytime I move the power seats or blow the horn.
Left camera at home. Got a few with the blackberry though. Post later!!
 
Pics of the hidden hitch progress.. The hitch started life as a UHaul brand for a Nissan Frontier. The part the reciever goes in comes from a Dodge Dakota. Got it free when I got the seats!!! Also learned an important lesson when grinding and or welding. Wear long pants.. Got burned pretty bad on the legs.. Hurts like hell!!!! :badidea: :owned: We managed to get it lined up where it needs to be.. Just gotta set it back up and tack weld long enough to pull back off and weld up fully...

so I'm 50 1/2 pages late on this build, but KUDOS to you, sir! This thing is awesome! Your black is 'slick as snot' :icon_thumby:

I don't know what your decision about stripes ended up being, but I think I'd paint the steering wheel the same red as those sick/nasty crossfire seats and in the event of stripes make them and the cobra that same red as well. Just a thought, and again MAJOR props!

Thanks Maverick! I really like the idea of matching the stripes and decals to the seats but here is the problem with doing so.. The seats are aren't red. The pics look like they are red but really they are cedar. Not a fan of the color but for free I won't complain.. I was told it would be very expensive to change out the leather centers to any other color so I am stuck with cedar for now...

As much as I would love to take a pick with all 4 wheels on I still have to buy the front tires... I should have the tires in a weeke or so... As honored as I am to get nominated I am going to have to say let's hold off a bit...
