It looks like you are off to a good start Jake. That is a very nice Ranger to start a restore with. I can remember when I had your type of energy, not too long ago either.

Well here is a small update. Have most of the parts glass beaded that don't need sanded and ready to be painted and most of what needs sanded primed. Here are a few pictures. Jake

DId you mask the Brake band?

I was painting parts for my 856 last night and did not paint the brake band, wondered if the paint would hurt the lining material?

Rooster, yeah, I don't think the lining should be painted. Did you mask it, Jake?

Thanks guys for the nice compliments. Kelly,I am pretty sure it will not be done in time for your show. The hood is going to take a while and the motor still needs to be rebuilt as well and I don't know when my dad's buddy will have a chance to get to it for me. Hoping I might be able to have it done in time for mentone but I am not sure if it will be done in time. Jake
