Cool video!

Is the roll bar only attached to the frame? It would seem to create problems if it were connected to the bed and the cab itself. Nice paint BTW!

Is the roll bar attached only to the frame? No its attached to the cab sheet metal above the window also as it connects to the main hoop inside the cab--you're right that might cause a problem--I hope not, but don't really know. I suppose it could cause some cracking there. If it becomes a problem I can cut it away if need be. I'll have to wait and see.

Where the rear roll bar supports go through the bed the "curved up" aftermarket rear frame and bed floor are one of the same, and that should be OK, but you're right I might get some cracks or? around the opening at the back of the cab. I just don't know.

Glad you like the paint. Its my 92 Ranger "oxford white" color. Its a PPG DCC acrylic urathane.

Nice video, you might want to consider a career in the movies. Nice truck, sounds good.

Looking really good. Hollywood here you come.

I am afraid I noticed a lot of overspray on the front tires. Don't you just hate when that happens.
