Started sanding and some body work yesterday and on my way back now.
Is it just me or does anyone elce dread the thaught of putting a pice of sandpaper to the factory paint? Took me about five min standing in front of her with the sand paper expalaining that its for the best I was going to make it ALL better lol.

Try taking a plasma cutter to the frame and pulling the body off...

You get the frame straightened yet?

And yes, I'm a giant slacker. I keep forgetting to look in the garage for what I still have left over.

No rush man. Ya took it down to the a guy to look at it all he for the bumper mount was heat it with a torch and pull it with what kinda looked like a comealong told me hope it doesnt crack the bar? He suggested replacing it because the old one wont hold up if I wreck again but as far as holding the bumper on and level said it would be fine. On the plus side he was cheap lol. in the future I may try to weld in a new one but for now going to leave it like it is.

The rails themselves were straight? The center bar is no big deal. My red truck doesn't have one and it works just fine

Looking good bud.

Ty would look a lot better with a new box. those sob's are hard to find (in good cond).(In N E Ohio)

 

[Josh40601]

I'd leave the box. Same bed as the Ranger STX. After market head lights and a good cleaning and this truck will be a sharp little rig

 

[statley chubs]

First coat of paint. Try and do a second coat tomorrow. Next put the rest of the lights in and mount the bumper, The girlfriend called me and told me there was a pipe leaking in the house so I had to leave early, forgot to get the pics of the rails but may have a couple from right after the wreck ill look.

 

[statley chubs]

Few more pics still not done have to wait till payday ran out of $$$.

 

[Josh40601]
