prepwork


inside of the bed is a bit rougher, havent decided if i want to go with some cheap line x knockoff, or just paint it


finished the prepwork on the left side, lots of bondo so i didnt sand down as far



taking the wheels to my house to be painted


spare (f**k masking off the tire lol)


trailer wheels


on the trailer



next step is some welds on the frame where theres some cracks, and of course paint! Thinking a satin close to the color of the truck

back to the biloutkast picture ... heres the backstory

i had a thread just like this one on another regional board, so while theres a few guys with trucks or suv's people dont really talk about em on the board. So this dude said something to the effect that nobody cares about your pos ranger ... i says thats messed up i thought we were all cool with each other what did i ever do to you ... dude keeps talkin ish

so i painted that and posted it up in the thread ..... hella people started clowning the guy ..l... well as it happens hes a moderator ... so he deleted all his comments and mine back and took the pic out the post and basically called a truce and told me not to post that pic anywhere again ... so imma live and let live .... although my original comment before i saw he deleted the other posts was i should paint his name down the side and drive all over the bay with it haha

big dawg compressor, central pnumeatic 21 gal







decided i might as well fix the leak and paint my boat too.







matches the truck ok, hoping its better once its cured fully.



started on the boat




didnt prep the boat too well cause the paint that was on it before sucked, so i just did a quick sand, i plan to pain the inside too though, right now the inside is baby blue lol ... i also picked up a stencil kit so i can put the CF number back on once im done painting it, gonna do it white this time so it shows up better. And yes i taped off the registration stickers.
