I am finally able to post an update from the garage painter for Jack's 89 Ranger. As a reminder, here's what the paint looked like from the factory -





The body work is finally done, and the truck is blocked and in primer (until this past weekend). We are keeping the original colors, but decided to change up the color scheme, per the attached teaser pic below.

Thanks guys. I'm anxious about how the cab will turn out. The idea is very "old-school", similar to these two trucks -

Another pic from the painter. It's hard to tell, but the top and back of the cab are white. Now he needs to paint the new hood and NOS tailgate and it will be out of paint jail.

Wow, that looks so good! What is the interior like? That thing has 10x more character than 99% of vehicles on the road today. Love it.

Thank you! The interior is blue (XLT trim level), and it looks good for its age. The headliner is probably the worst part of it. I'll post up a photo later on...
