I am doing a full renovation of a 1997 ford ranger from top to bottom. Basically fixing everything thats wrong with it and then some. Check it out, I posted lots of pix of the progress.

If you have any ideas, please let me know, I could use ideas.

Thanks

I have now finished the overhaul. It looks good, let me know what you think.

Also, I have lots of leftover parts now if anyone needs some stuff in the central florida area.

That looks awsome. I like how it is a two tone kinda. Good amount of each color I think too.

great job.
www.lmctruck.com has all the rubber you will need.

to the OP: turned out good but I think you need an extra coat of paint on the side of the dash.

Those gauges are awesome. I am slightly annoyed that my 2000 Ranger with manual transmission has no RPM gauge; maybe I'll eventually do something about it.

Looks like you did great job to me! Just out of curiosity how much of that sound deadner did you use? While I'm at it how much would you ask for that cluster and the needles that you do have?
