I started making the wheel tubs, my friend sold me a trailer fender for $30.00
and another 20 for the rest of the sheet metal.
I need to get this done soon cause I need to have my truck inspected by a sherifs station because I got a ticket for 3 violations :D .
Just wish this rain would stop just for a few days, it only took about 2 hours to do what the pictures show.

:lol: cracked window, no front plate and the rear plate was not secure..but why if I made
sure that the screws were really tight on the head rest of my seat :evil: I guess the officer didn't like that my plate was mounted on the headrest.
The last one I will have to go to court for, I never notice that my drivers license was expired
so I drove for one whole year with an expired license:doh:

You gotta love those violations! They are a great way to hold up progress on a project! No $ left to fix the wrongs! Good luck marz, and looking forward to pics of more progress.

So it's been a long time since I did anything to my truck Iv'e been buisy working on the new house.
I also bought a 89 ranger cause I need a small truck to haul stuff in. As you can tell I don't like leaving my
rides stock so I had to drop the ranger.

I did a 3" drop ibeam and a rear flip kit with a mini notch.
I will also put bags in the rear for more load capacity.

Here it is when I got it.

Here it is dropped. I need to cut half a coil to level it out.

Now that I have a daily driver truck I can now haul stuff with it.
I can now go and buy the rest of the sheet metal for my 68 so that I can finally finish the bed.

yeah rangers had ibeams up until 97.

About the pictures from the begining I think I was removing some pictures from my photobucket account
and it automaticaly deletes them from the site to. I hate when that happens!
