Alright well more updates.

I woke up this morning and my eye was stuck shut. Turns out i have pink eye. So that means no work for this cat!

So i stayed home and tried to get s**t going in the garage but nothing was working out right.

The bracket i made last night just isnt gonna work and neither are the master cylinders on my brake setup. So i have to order new m/c's and then figure out mounting again... Gay but whatever. Atleast it will be right.



So then i tried to mount my intercooler. But my drill s**t out on me. So i made it like halfway through that project... Gay.

So i figured i would try my luck at mounting my ford ranger bumper.

Have any of u ever tried building brackets and holding a bumper where u want it by yourself? Ya its impossible.



So once the wifey got home from work i had her come give me a hand...

Bumper reinforcement so i can weld to the bumper mounts...






Then i tacked it into place after about an hour of measuring and checking clearances...




Fully welded brackets. Theyre solid but im still going to gusset them and clean them up a bit.




reinstalled and grill bolted up.


I really gotta do something about that smiley face...


And thats it for tonight. All this piddly s**t that is taking me forever is getting old.

But its getting me closer to a final product, so im happy...

Hopefully more updates tomorrow!

The motor will get polished up and the rotor housings will be painted. Still unsure of a color comination.

The frame will be powdercoated and the intake manifold will be polished out.

The steering box and linkage will probably be powder coated along with the frame.

The turbo will be polished and the hotside recoated and probably a turbo blanket also.

Turbo mani will be ceramic coated and header wrapped...

Yep. Lots of money left to be spent on this bay alone not to mention interior and paint and wheels and all that fun stuff...
