Well, for all a y'all who may have noticed my sig before, I have an 88 2wd Ranger custom 2.0L 5 speed. I'll post up some pics of before... a couple during the process, and after. It's mostly complete already, but you get the idea.


Here's the before shots:




A couple during:

(It's not really that much filler, I swear!)


(Made this roll pan)






And here's a few of the mostly finished product!





This one's for you, Multi!






Enjoy! More pics coming soon, I'm sure!

Multi, laid on BASF Glasurit 90 line single stage. Turned out real good, didn't want to have to buff the clear all the time to keep it looking good. Haha.

FrankBoss, VHT Nite Shades is what was used. Thanks for the comments, all!

Thanks! Wait 'til I get a real good picture of it... that purple really pops! Plans are just a mildly built 4.0 with 4.10 l/s and 17" mustang wheels, with a 2/3 drop. It's not going to be anything crazy, just a fun little summer DD that'll actually handle decent. (compared to my other rigs... haha!)

Thanks multi! I'd like to think that for my first "actual" paint job, it turned out pretty good! I'll get some more pics in a couple days after it's all complete.
