1947 ford ranger...

Looking good

So, some proper pics.














And the details that make it-










Dead happy with that.

If you want patina preservation/fauxtina, gaygeorge is your man.

I’ll go back through and dig out some direct comparison shots of before and after, but suffice to say it’s like a different truck!

i love all of it except the grille

but then that's how they were designed, even with a fresh set of teeth the commercial style isn't as nice as the cars in the same year

I think it's the colour that makes it look like a load of baguettes stood in a hole. Just needs a wicker backing and a string of garlic hanging off to complete the look

I like the grille cos it annoys people 😬

Everyone’s always asking if I’m gunna straighten those two bent ones. I like messing with people’s OCD.
I do have one of the two missing bars to reattach though, and there will be some things mounted to the front bumper too so it will be a bit less noticeable.

That is something that is currently being worked on, but it is a fairly involved process so will be a while before there’s a proper update.

I love it with the wonky grill, although it makes me think it needs 1950's surfboard thrown in the back.
The sidesteps will really finish it off.

I’m in negotiations for one bit it’s er, quite a few quid.

It’s not so much about being dateless as being 5 digit, so I can run a legal sized and spaced plate on one line in US number plate surrounds. I have a backup 5 digit job on another car though if the one I’m after proves too pricey.
