Jim's Little 460 AND 2000 RANGER

Hopefully what ever you do will pick up soon. The economy SEEMS to be getting a little better....

Even if you can get the body into primer and run it like that, I've seen more and more of that lately. Makes it more of a sleeper too!!

Bill

Cool project.. Nice work..

Just alittle up date got the rack lowered and steering rod almost finished but got it where I can or we can start on the headers here are some picks took alittle brain recking to get to this point but I finaly got it figured out with out buying new joints used what came on the truck just had to rerang them alittle.

Lookin good Jim

Thanks guys just order a tail pipe expander to make the header alittle easier to build should have it by thur. think I am going to order a 2" J or a S bend the first pipe on the driver side is going to be the hardest one to build because of the steering and shock tower where the a arm may have to cut the top of the shock bolt off

building headers are a pita

5 1/2 hours got 3 tubes welded got 5 more to go I am going to finish drive side in the morning and i will post a pic of it probley want get them finished tomorrow got family gathering tomorrow afternoon at 2pm then got to go to the funeral home had a friend pass away and then the funeral sunday so maybe next weekend I can finish them.
