Ranger is back on the road!
10 mile shakedown ride.............no issues.

Apparently, there is no problem that throwing enough money at won't fix.

(Except the damn mice who built a nest in the heater ducts!!! grrrrrrr!)

Ya, we're pretty happy with the way it's coming out. Melody painted the door lettering today with the gray paint. You were right! It looks great!

Hope to have it wired in tomorrow or Monday...

Gee, I wonder where I could find a 4 jaw......................lol

I turned the vent/fan on high during the ride, got a face full of mouse chit and torn out insulation from the vents.

This means war.

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Good day on the water. Started out with a misty drip for most of the morning but then dried out by about 0900/0930. Lots of seals. If I had caught a salmon as big as the one we saw the one seal catch, I'd be a real happy camper. He got the big one, we had to settle for the small ones. Have wrist rocket, but need to resupply ball bearings and clear marbles.

I don't need to remind you that the AK or even the stingers may be just a little bit of over kill do I Dave?

Evening Oregon.
Doing more research on the old 89 figuring out what a PO did to it, this thing is pain getting parts for.
So far I have learned that it has an 94 block, gt40 heads,lighting intake,mustang XZ3 ecm,65mm mustang throttle body mustang mass air sensor and some electronic odds and in's.

Sounds like a decent build. That set up should be making plenty of power!
