I don't know why I even try to make my Rig's look nice. I rolled my 90 Ranger last winter do to ice and wind. Spent all damn summer hammering out the dents, putting new glass all around. Just got it done with new paint, a roll bar and just mounted the new lights in the roll bar.
My son asked to use it to run about 2 miles out to his friends house. They got to racing and he rolled it yesterday. It's really trashed now. Maybe I'll put a pic up if anyone is interested. It could be fixed as anything can be fixed. But this is the second one I have rebuilt in two years that got totaled right after I got them done. IDK anymore. Kids kinda sore with some bruised ribs and sprained back and what not. It bent both back axles and broke one clean off. I'll go out in a bit and see if she will still run. Than figure out what to do. Kids okay and that is the main thing right there. I hope he learned something.

Might be giving the Bronco a new paint job. I like the Zebra stripes but the body work underneath looks like it wasnt done properly. If it does get repainted it won't be anything plain like black or such, I am leaning towards a two tone lime green with black top and black bottom.
I want to clean up the body work and repaint it something unique however I am not Picasso. And the wife says the stripes have to go if we sand it all down to do the body work.

I know right. I thought about adding racing stripes, wasn't sure if that'd be too much tho...granted it'll ahve a Lime Green paint job so low-profile was thrown out the window at the drawing board...
