I hear ya mano! G-1 finally got it's partly mangled left front fender removed, "SMITHED OUT" the best I could do with various hammers and a body anvil, and sprayed with at least a heavy coat of primer for now.
G-2 is a candidate for massive sand blasting.... I pulled the bed while waiting for paint to dry, since one of my partners in vehicular mischief was around to help carry it.
I can say this: G-1 runs and will only look better from here on out. G-2 will look like junk before it's all over. The plan is to strip it and modify that Ranger to have a 302 in it.
