Default Re: 2000 Ranger build/resto

Turned out I ended up with a parts truck in the deal. A 2002 FX4.
First I got the tow hooks.


----------

The truck obviously needed a paint job. I picked up some parts from the salvage yard and Certifit. Wanted the painted Edge front bumper so I had to make the cut outs for the tow hooks.


----------

Pulled the side steps, swapped the tires and cranked the t-bars a little.

I also picked up a regular bed. The front has flares and I prefer the look of the standard bed on a 4x4.


----------

Next stripped all the trim, door handles, mirrors, locks, lights, ect... And headed to my buddys shop.



----------

Where we sanded the entire topside to bare metal. Black Ford paint sucks around 2000. Had lots of cracks on the top of the truck.


----------

Fixed all the dents and got ready to block sand


Sanding sucks...
