PetesPonies Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I thought I posted a few pics once? Its been a slow and steady project. On to the bed now. Interior is done, cab is done. Mechanicals are done. I'm building a daily driver, just don't like new vehicles :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I like it! And I especially like the color combo. What year is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyn Blin Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Another beauty, Pete. You really have an eye for color and style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rembrant Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Nice! I had a 1984 Ranger back in the late 1980's. It was a regular cab long bed with 4cyl/4spd. Like the colors Pete! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetesPonies Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 I like it! And I especially like the color combo. What year is it? Thanks guys. It's an '83, first year. It's a 4 spd 2.3. Was a survivor of sorts, no rust to speak of, no accidents. Tons of small dings, but no real hits. Still had original paint, no repaint. But it was rough to look at. Interior was the same, all original, but rough. The blue is 1965 Tropical Turquoise, only year Ford used that exact color. Lots of other "close colors" through the years. The white is Wimbledon.

FuzzFace2 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Great color. As said nice color combo. Cant wait to see the bed on it. How wide is the stripe 1/4"? Looking to maybe do the same when I paint mine just don't know how wide I want to go yet. Dave ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cover part of what you painted first, with tape. That creates one stripe. Then space it one tapes width and apply another tape. Pull up the spacing tape and then when you spray, that area will get the new color. Once painting is done, pull up all tape and you have two small stripes. Complicated to explain, easy to do.
