I made this display board the other day
from scraps I had. The metal sign is the
inspection cover from a computer tower
i had scraped out.
The HIGHWAY PATROL was surplus
from the door decal project. The red and
black vinyl letters are from a garage sale
sign i made years ago and the patch was
something i had bought at a patch collectors
show in Phoenix years ago.
I salvage and re-use everything i can.
It may not be fancy buy it works for Me.

Nice sign, Andy.

To the unwashed (those who know nothing of these cars), you almost need to have a sign that tells them that the car has been restored to its in-service condition. So many people think they were sold looking like that. Of course, a quick conversation will set them straight, right?

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.

That looks sharp.

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.
