What did you do to your Ranger today? (Part Deux!)

[cbxer55]

Took new pictures of it, which I haven't done in years. Been working on a hood project, which is nearing completion. Had an old hood scoop which used to be on my Mustang, didn't like it holding up the wall. SO I found a way to mount it on the Rangers hood and be somewhat functional with a bunch of 1.25 holes drilled in the hood under the scoop. Then, using the ranger as a guinea pig for a later Mustang project, I cut two large slots in the hood just inside ethe style line, and mounted Mustang hood vents. It's a steel hood and was starting to rust due to it's original black color fading, so I sanded it and repainted it. Didn't turn out as good as I hoped, but it's still better than it was previously. On another calm day, I'll attempt to make it look a little better.

In the near future, maybe this weekend, will be drilling four 1.25 holes in the hood over the cai filter, then installing two small scoops over those holes. They'll be in between the style line and the fender, about four inches back from the rear of the hood bra.

Your truck wears bra.

It is lady.

It wears a bra because the front bumper is ugly and the fascia has some cracks. All will be replaced soon so the bra can go the way of the Dodo Bird. Give it time. But hey, that mesh over the radiator opening sure catches a lot of bugs and things that would otherwise be plugging the radiator.

So it wears a bra because it’s older and not what it was in it’s younger years... PJ already said it’s a lady, you don’t need to prove it.

I wouldn't trade it for one of the new "Rangers" if I was paid to do so.

Anyhow, the last time I took a trip to Tulsa in it, that mesh was so covered in bugs, the truck likely would've overheated if they were in the radiator. And it's a lot easier cleaning them off that mesh than the radiator.
