My hat is deffinatly off to you and your dad. You'd never know now that it was rolled..... i think alot of guys would do this as it makes it alot more personal being a father/son project. You both have a hell of a talent. How long did this in total take you to do or finish?

There was an ulterior motive when Ford purchased Volvo... it was not just to have another brand under thier belt. More Volvo safety technology and design have gone into Ford cars since MY 2000 and trucks since MY 2004 than actual Ford R&D. Kinda bummed that they are most likely selling Volvo.

I just read through your whole thread on ranger forum and that truck has come a Long way and looks great! I can't wait to see it finished and that was a steal for the price. Enjoy the truck man!

any mods planned? I know your ranger is kick ***, ive seen it all over rf. I used to have one, i frequently visit rf under "a-little-edgey". you have quite a nice ranger, so i imagine you could do an awesome job with the f 150. or is it more of a DD and not so much a toy?

That's incredible. Very nice job. Looks brand new.

Just curious, is there any damage to the drivetrain? Suspension and such like that? I can't imagine there being no damage.

Kozal, where did you get most of your parts at? I am in the process of building an 07 Harley and good after market parts for these trucks is somewhat hard to find and expensive. Just thought I would check and see if you had a resource.
