Project orange crush

This is my 1994 Ranger 4.0 V6 that has been under construction for about the past two months. It's been changed to look as close to a splash model as possible, minus the stepside bed. Everything is monochromatic. The body panels were all removed for painting and body work. The interior was removed to be cleaned and the headliner needed to be recovered.


How it looked when we purchased it in may.

Sometime over the summer I took my dad's 33's off of his jeep just to see how it would look. They were no where near close to fitting.

Then we started by dissassembling the front end and worked our way back doing the body work and painting piece by piece.

Keep in mind this was all painted on the side of our house, with the exception of the doors. This took a lot of patience for the correct days with good weather and mininal wind and bugs .

Putting back together the front end. New windshield and rear slider glass. We replaced the rear pop out glasses with fixed-stationary privacy glass.

Before we painted body, we had installed a 3 inch body lift. Now that it's been painted, we installed a 4 inch suspension lift with skyjacker shocks.
An additional 2 inches was added using add-a-leaf in the rear and front coil spacers. We also bought new stainless steal brake lines for all four wheels.

Very nice! Like "the dude" said You've already got a CAI. Save the money and use it for other things on that good looking truck

Broke the record at my work today for most tips in a day and hoping to break the weekend record tomorrow, that means new tires in the next week ! Pictures soon !

After that, I'm going to use the rest of my money to have my flowmasters mounted with dual exhaust tips. Then tint the two front windows and much more. Have big plans for the truck .

Will post pictures of the spray in bedliner tomorrow, it came out looking great !
 
After the bed was finished and put on.
