I replaced the funky carpeted kick panels with some I made of a pressbord material, and covered them with new shiny black Formica. It looks fantastic. VERY black. It looks like the same painted metal as the rest of the vehicle. 
Oh... and I scratched my hood up pretty good.

I made some progress on saturday, but not a lot. I left Sunday at 4:00 pm to pickup the wrecker body for my truck. It looks pretty good. I have a few bent spot to straighten up. I will be beginning a new topic with pics of wrecker body now. Tomorrow I will take the wrecker to sandblasters so I can return the trailer. Kevin

Realized I had a mustang dash no heater or a/c
went to the junk yard got a heater a/c unit removed the dash put in
the unit now while the dash is out I'm trying to figure out what type of windshield wiper system to install
Any ideas?

My baby is in the shop getting the hood redone since it fell when we had bad wind storms here about 3-4 weeks ago...also redoing the fuel system - electric fuel pump and braided lines...probably get the tailgate touched too while its there....funny how it is when your truck's in the shop - all these ideas come to mind while its there....

Got lights and turn signals on the ranchero working. I'm just days away from road worthy enough to get it weighed. Then its a quick strip and squirt some color on it. Soon it will be my daily driver and I can sell the plastic vega before it grenades.
