Here are a few pictures of the forward progress on the 71 Ford Not much more done but with Christmas and New Years I didn't expect much..

 

Went and took a few more pictures of Hooptie yesterday and and they are making progress. Not quite the same time line we talked about but I believe it will be done before the end of February and returned home. Anyway here are some pictures of it as of Yesterday...

 

Progress is a beautiful thing.
Note. Insurance companies have Body Shops worried about "cycle time". At least here in Arizona. I am assuming in your state also. How ever many hours are on the estimate is when that Shop BETTER have the vehicle back to the customer. No excuses. So Body Shops have to give insurance jobs priority over customer pay jobs.
Hang with 'em.

 

They shot the Sealer Coat yesterday and today they will shoot the Color and the Clear Coat... Cant wait to see it later today... Here are a couple of Pictures...

 

Color and Clear Coat, Now comes Color Sand and Buff, then Bed Liner. Then Hooptie Comes Home to be put back together with a new wire harness.

 

looking nice. Nice Mustang also.

 

Really looking sharp now!

 

Thanks for the Compliments, the Truck will be home this Tuesday Afternoon and I can start putting it all back together... Still haves some detail work and clean up but its going to be in full wiring mode as soon as it hits the Shop... I have decided to have all the trim shot with glass beads to give it a satin appearance including the Grill and all the Side Moldings. I think it will look good with the gloss black paint. I also want to Paint the Moldings with a Semi Gloss black paint in the area's where the wood grain stickers use to be so it will brake up that huge Molding. I am looking at a set of Torque Thrust rims with high polished aluminum and the spokes are painted with a Semi Gloss Black Paint. I think this truck is going to be so much more than I had originally set out to do but I think it will be a real head turner. Lots more pictures to come!!!

 

The 71 Ranger Made it Home... Cant wait to get this thing back together... Here are a Few Pictures...

 

That's a good looking hooptie

 

2X. Lookin' forward to seeing some lamps lit up in him.

 

Ahh, the fresh smell of paint starting to cure.

 

I keep poking my head into the Shop and its hard to believe its the same truck. Thanks for the Compliments and I think I will be starting the process of putting the windows back in the door and some detail work under the truck before I start Wiring it.

 

Got my Interior back and I still have a million things to do before that goes in. Here are a few pictures.

 

Nice interior color choice, it looks good.
