yeah i know i was just messin with ya pimpin!

May change my mind on the mini. My friend is selling a 33 ford in about million pieces that got my attention. He'll trade me straight across for the equity I have in my boat (15K). He's got a ton of stuff, brand new. Including a 347 SBF thats worth a ton.

Damn Clint, hurry up and lets get a mini started before I change my mind. I'm sure I'd be happier with a mini, then an old man hot rod. Although a 33 roadster full bags, big wheels, laying door? Something to make all old guys at Goodguys shit themselves?

Jeff, shoot me a PM with your number. I gotthe inside track and clint and I have done a mind melt, so if you need a little motivation shoot me a PM and I'll help push u to the mini you really want to build!

After talking with Doug, the things that are in the works are gonna happen. I'm back in fold. I wanna be in the NorCal Acro scene. Let's get this going hardcore. Prospect here waiting.

You guys got my mind racing! Whats the project? Welcome Welcome.

It's picked up and tucked in my garage. Thanks to Doug and Clint for making it happen.

2000 Ranger extended cab, already bagged and BD'd. I'll post so pictures soon. It needs a TON of work, but the body drop and bags are clean. I'l post some photos when I figure out how to.

Hell yeah....post pics!

The pictures are from a better time for the Ranger. It needs a front clip, maybe a bed, and some lovin.

i like seeing old acro trucks become new acro trucks

very nice cant wait to see what u have in mind

Awesome!

Yes! Awsome! please keep us posted and start a build thread when you can. Very nice truck!

whoever took those pics has a great eye!!!!! Lol.

Damn, jeff...can't keep a secret can you!
Lol
I know the feeling...I got a one in my garage too that I won't post current pics of;)

Sweet.....I'm going have to meet you and check out the truck since we're dam near neighbors

Come on by. I'll hand you some body tools and I'll put you to work.

For those wondering plans. No major changes. I like the truck as is, it just needs to be cleaned up. I'll start the body work soon, clean up the "bed", get a new front clip, get the engine to tuck under a factory hood. Once all that is done, sliding rag top, respray (same color, just better than OE), and interior. Everything on this truck is gonna be as stock as possible, stock look with body drop. No shaving, no suicides, no sheetmetal or fiberglass interiors....just really simple look.

The big work is gonna be getting the engine under a hood. Clint tried to convince me otherwise, but that's one thing I still wonder about.

I was gonna start today....but I can't find any of my body tools! Freakin divorce sucks. Add a stud welder and hand tools to the list missing....sawsall, floor jacks, a huge box of airbag stuff (valves, bags, fittings), and the door panels and two OEM fenders for the 94 FSC I sold to Clint.

I just had to order a bunch of new stuff, if my old stuff shows up I'll have a nice set to sell.

It'll be nice to see that thing all cleaned up and rollin again,deffinatly keep us posted on the build.
