I certainly am, I have been spending a lot of time polishing, touching up, and cleaning. Here's my project.

Yeah, will miss a lot this year. Just about every weekend in my area, from 5 to 50 miles, between April and November, there is some kind of show or cruise in. I go to many and enjoy looking and having my Ranger looked at.
He's just sitting in the garage now, primped, polished, and cleaned, with nowhere to go.

That's a sharp ranger love how well the two tone and the bed rails correspond. Mine also is just sitting I once in a while take it out on the road.

the first I'm concerned about is the last weekend of June in northern Michigan, St Ignace.
most likely it won't happen now, plus the Michigan governor doesn't want anybody to drive anywhere
for a long time.

Thanks. The 2 tone is actually vinyl graphic material, not paint. Side rails were home made.
We take it out weekly for our new "nite on the town" dinner. Go thru a drive thru or take out, and sit in a parking lot on the tailgate and have a "dinner picnic".

You need to post some more pic's of your Ranger. Very sharp, very clean and well done. Some distance and interior shots needed.

Thank you! I love to take mine out and sit because the bed is carpet and we installed lights. I definitely will! I don't have many distance shots since I have gotten it back from a fresh paint job but here are a couple.

A legend to the old man, a hero to the child...
Im hoping by next year to be able to hit the cruise-ins again. My goal is to get my old 77 LTD II all running and cleaned up again, put it on a trailer, and cruise it to shows being towed by my 77 F250.

Stupid? Maybe. But eh.
