My idea of a Shelby Ranger if there would have been one.

I found the Kit in Virginia I think.. It's made by Stillin. The price on the kit or the whole truck? The kit I paid less than 300.00 for it.. You will probably not find one for even close to that cheap.. The price for the whole truck... Beats me but I wouldn't take less than 7K for it... If you are building a ranger remeber this.. Google and the guys and gals on TRS are your best friends!! :icon_cheers:

multi! How are things down in your part of the world?
Mike!!!! Things are going pretty good... I hope all is well with you. It's been a while since I have been on.. Gettin ready to make some changes to the truck.

1 I may V8 it next year
2 the hood got a small scratch in it so I will be repainting it and adding the Gold stripes like on the Hertz Shelby Mustangs
3 Optional keep the 4.0 but do something not sure what to get more power and rebuild the transmission..

I didn't ask for your life story, just answer the question!
I wish we had more time down here. We're down here in Roswell for a wedding. I would have stopped by to see this thing in person.

Nah, mod motor doesn't fit the theme, unless it's a 5.0 coyote.

Personally I think it should be something a little more Shelby... 428!

I've thought all along that if Shelby had built this thing he would have put a 5.0L (Windsor, not Modular) in it. It's an ample upgrade over the stock engines, and is a period correct for Ford small block.

It will be a Windser if I do it.. I don't want to spend another two years getting it to fit and setup right... Plus the money would be very expensive!!

I should have got in touch with you before we left... We spent most of the week in Marietta.

Oh well, next time. We get down there about every 3 years.
