rigidchop · 11-15-2008, 06:57 PM

i love it, but how are you gonna open the hood after the grill goes in? hood pins?

good question, im gonna have to look into that.

TinaBanana · 11-15-2008, 07:34 PM

updated picture time.

we had molded in the turn signals last spring. today we finished the side of the bumper and the thing beside the headlight. tomorow we do the other side.

coloRADo_S10 · 11-15-2008, 07:57 PM

sick!

maybe you'll have to do one of those whole front clip suicide hoods

rigidchop · 11-15-2008, 08:24 PM

i think that might work, the reverse opening hood hinges off of a buick.

JoPre · 11-15-2008, 08:57 PM

no i think he means where the hood grille bumper and fenders all flip up together.

rigidchop · 11-15-2008, 09:06 PM

gotcha

I wish I could do this on my truck, but I don't feel like dis-assembling the whole front clip for it.

S-tang looks neat. It needs to be bagged and bodydropped imo.

TinaBanana · 11-15-2008, 10:25 PM

bags are awaiting patiently on the shelve.
it will be the next step after the front is finished.
we will also be chopping the back of the bed to shorten it and make it sportier.

dropped4doorblaze · 11-15-2008, 11:27 PM

4door bed lmao lol

97s-dime · 11-16-2008, 11:53 AM

i would maybe almost think about possibly buying a ford with someone elses money for my girlfriend not me if they looked like this. haha.

97s-dime · 11-16-2008, 03:17 PM

you should twin turbo the 4.3 or slap in a v8 and call it "mustle truck"

strange, ive always thought longbeds were sporty

TinaBanana · 11-16-2008, 10:21 PM

did most of the other side today. next weekend we will getting ready for bondo and trying to get the headlights hooked up.

Gearstix · 11-16-2008, 11:48 PM

Product of my boredom.

Looks good.

So, your friend showers you, and shows you pictures of ugly trucks?... you guys gotta weird friendship goin on. lol Anyway, I've seen this truck before, and have given it a name that I thought would be fitting. Since it's a mustang, and a ranger, I came up with... "The stranger".

The work on the poontang looks good...oops, I mean "S-tang". lol

Built2NV · 11-18-2008, 04:04 PM

looks better then I thought I just dont like the huge area in front of the light. Work is great though and its coming along really well! Keep it up man want to see this finished!!!

i have a pic of the 99-04 stang front end on the ranger

PurplDodge · 11-19-2008, 06:21 PM

That just looks weird. The mustang clip is too far up. It would look good lowered, and w/o the ground effects.....maybe....

AJ · 11-20-2008, 01:39 AM

love this project, still looking to get my wheels?

TinaBanana · 11-20-2008, 10:15 AM

yup! they are ordered and we are picking them up on thanksgiving weekend. should have pics the week after. i had the harderest time getting the right size and spacers and such. im a bit nervous that stuff wont fit right. we'll see!

granted its probably gonna look retarded since the truck will still sit a mile in the air.

AJ · 11-21-2008, 10:18 AM

cool, should look good. cant wait.

Squeek · 11-21-2008, 11:24 PM

looks pretty good... but IMO the marker lights are kinda killing it

TinaBanana · 11-22-2008, 09:15 PM

we worked allll day from 11 to 8 and it seems like we got nothing done.
we finished welding in alllll the holes on the hood and fenders. we took off the bumper and enclosed the back side. all the constructions is done but we still have alot of tacking to do on the back of the bumper to seal everything.

we layed the first coat of tiger hair on all the seams on the hood and fender. the hubby left it up to me to mix the first layer and i guess i didnt put enough hardner so we were not able to continue working on that tonight. so we are leaving it to harden over night. i guess its not helping that the garage was pretty cold.

the pictures are boring but here we go. the work tomorow should be alot more fun. the bumper looked really good off the truck, but the pics just dont do it justice. i guess once its primed it will look better on picture.

coloRADo_S10 · 11-24-2008, 02:41 AM

lookin good!

97s-dime · 11-24-2008, 02:51 AM

i need a straight on pic with bumper done. please.

~~chics with trucks~~ · 11-24-2008, 02:52 AM

sorry if this is dumb question but im curious to kno so im pretty sure thats not the stock hood from the s10 is that a stock hood from the mustang and if so it fits flush like that on the sides?

SavageKreations · 11-24-2008, 03:30 AM

Thats a stock Sonoma hood, direct bolt on...

dimerunner88 · 11-24-2008, 03:34 AM

stock sonoma hood with minor modifications to the front edge

JoPre · 11-24-2008, 04:36 AM

correct, its a sonoma hood, that has been extented 10-12 inches in the front. the noma hood flows so much better with the mustang headlights. no s-tang should go without a noma hood!

i should have pics by tonight.

TinaBanana · 11-26-2008, 02:48 AM

we worked like crazy for the last 3 days. its 1h30 am but we got it primed.

the bodywork is far from being completed but we had to shoot it with primer because we have to take it out for a trip out of town and its snowing.

this is the first time i have ever really done body work and i think i did a pretty good job.

the bumper only has the first coat of fiberglass on. still pretty rough.

TinaBanana · 11-26-2008, 02:50 AM

primer!!
we should have pics tomorow with everything assembled.
when we come back sunday we will have our new wheels.

coloRADo_S10 · 11-26-2008, 02:52 AM

that looks great!

sonomanator · 11-26-2008, 02:57 AM

a nice mustang scoop would look real nice on it.

its for sale if your interested.

TinaBanana · 11-26-2008, 03:13 AM

originally we were thinking of doing the previous gen mustang hood scoop, but we arent sure anymore

dropped4doorblaze · 11-26-2008, 04:13 AM

lookin good

sonomanator · 11-26-2008, 04:19 AM

no get the new style in need the money lol.
