Jim's Little 460 AND 2000 RANGER

wow Jim looks great , the build is coming along nicely man

ready to paint the cage and chassis when the weather permit last weekend rain this weekend they are calling for rain and the cold weather is here now so don't now when I will be able to paint it maybe next weekend.

i hear you on that it been in the 5* with out the winsheild and snow so i have been able to work on much to.

If I can manage to get it painted be for the cage rust I try keep them wiped off as where it is sitting everybody comes by want to touch the cage and leave hand prints wasn't bad before i got them prepped for paint they still had a oily coat on them .Then I can start putting it back together and the weather want be a problem.But mother nature is going to do what she wants and we can't change that so I will keep them as clean as I can until she lets me paint them.

Well guys I am going to get my paint for Christmas here are 4 different color here are the links witch color yall think would look the best me and the wife are going back anf forth on the colors these are the colors we finally agreed on I want to keep her happy with this paint job as she wanted to pick the color
