Re: 69 F100 Ranger project- 3/15 metal work + mods
yeah im slacking a bit on the project though. I did actually spend alot of time welding up the seams nicely and grinding them down, they are very flush right now. but thats actually about all ive done since the last update. But i plan on finishing the truck within a few months (it will be all together by august). so i have alot to do. I have been soooo busy every weekend.

Top is more modern, bottom more retro. Here's a pic of some slots on my 4x4 if you want to see what they look like on a bump.
Guess you can't see them too well from that angle.

Re: 69 F100 Ranger project- 3/15 metal work + mods
Heres a joyful update.
I was carefully removing my PPUUURFECT windsheild from the 69 when i decided that it would look even better shattered. so that is what i did and now im out a few hundred dollars. oh joy fun.
