Picking up my first Ranger to get me through the winter. Come spring time I can DD the Mustang again and work on the Ranger to get ready for the 2010 Power Tour (As long as there is one). Just stopping in to say hey and gather ideas for the truck. I'm thinking of getting it lowered, wheels/tires, and painted flat black (I have the paint already and need to use it) and tinting the windows for starters.

Anyway, lots of plans for it after that but I don't want to throw 'em out in writing and have something come up. Glad to be here and can't wait to get started. Just have to fit it in with Mustang mods and building another bobber this winter haha.

Welcome Dustin.

There is a wealth of ranger info here. Ask questions, learn and even better hopefully teach us something as well.

What kind of bobber are you working on?

[QuarterHorse]

Thanks

I finished my first one this spring. It started as an '81 Yamaha 650 Maxim


Ended up like this


I have a 79 XS 650 Yamaha right now down to the frame and ready to turn into a rigid. It's the Parallell twin from Yamaha.

On a more related note, here's my SSP 92 Coupe.

Before my 5 lug swap


Now 5 Lug


I need to re-spray the car and get some bigs/littles on it. Doubt it happens this winter though.

Well I went to pick up the '92 Ranger and it was not what the owner said it was. I got mad and bought my uncle's 94 Ranger instead. So not it's getting the small things taken care of and getting through the Iowa winter with it until I can get the short block built (hopefully this winter) and heads bought with doing a home made turbo set up. All that probably won't go until next winter at the earliest. Time to finish up current projects to get this one started.

Can't wait to see what you guys got going on with this board.

Welcome! That's a really sharp Ranger to start with.
