The porportions dont look right.

Front wheels need to be further forward. The bed is too low, especially with a back window that makes the back of the cab looked chopped but from the side it doesnt.

That said..
the paint looks top notch.. not my cup o tea but still looks top notch.
the engine compartment looks pretty good but the 3.0 was a turd of an engine in the ranger I would have used the 4.0 sohc motor..
the interior has some neat touches.. map pockets are kinda neat.

I really dig the wheels.. I like the orange ranger wheels with trim rings and ranger center caps.
easy to accomplish with surprisingly good results in my opinion.

That is wrong on so many levels you cant pic one.The only thing I seen that was interesting was the door map pockets.

The bed and the cab/front clip aren't even sitting at the same angle... how does one miss that? I raced a buddy's 4.0/auto Ranger in my '64 VW bug with a stock '72 dual port engine (about 60hp) and outran it like it was sitting still. That thing has to be a snail with a 3.0!! And the wheelbase/fender opening fitment... :shock:
