    The hood is almost done. Buts lets look at the progression so far.

    A friend has been helping me with this hood, he is also a fellow teacher at the High School that I teach at.

    He has as much time and sweat into this hood as I do. In order to return the favor, I will be assisting in sound system build for his 56 Chevy. I will document the build.

    I can't wait to get it painted and put on the truck. We still have a little more work but I think we got the hard part out of way.

    I just started on some custom kick panels for the 56. He is on vacation, so I won't have access to the car until next week. And my hood is in his garage. I knew I forgot something.

    Its on the truck right now, but the paint is just tiny bit off. The original hood is at the paint store and they are retinting my paint to match it closer to the truck

    Its going to be repainted sometime next week.

    I really think the little things make the truck. Turning the blue oval green for example is a really easy mod. Its little details that make the truck. Notice that the "Ranger XLT" badges were replaced with "Ranger SVO" badges.

    I'll get the rear sway bar tomorrow, but I'll wait till its NOT 100+ degrees to put it on. I'm still looking for some Ranger Splash Front Coil Springs (the spring rate is more handling oriented).

    That looks really good. I like the color, too.

    We've had some really hot weather here in South Carolina, too, but the hurricane was nice. The last couple days we have had a breeze and the highs have been in the low 90s. Unfortunately, I am far enough inland that we got no rain and we need rain.
    I hope it cools off for everyone.
