sweetness...my guess is the 15th might be the best day if your going to the afterthoughts show, im applying for a job at ups over break so ill also have to make sure i get the day off to do it, ill definately let ya know.

o ok i c now, if u wanna give it a shot still, trim the radiator hose on the ends until it isnt kinked anymore, pretty much make it shorter until it is not kinked and the clamps can seal it again, had to do it on the mazda when it got wrecked so i could drive it back to albany hehe, cause we could only pull the core support back so much

since james givin u a deal, i'd just go with that, better on the safe side, and you'll get there pretty fast

o yea james the afterthoughts show is january 14-15

awoooooo weezi looks everything is gonna work out perfect. what kind of hood did you get like a bigger cowl or a scoop or what?

awoooooo dude! that thing is flippin awseome. all cobra like and the badger! did you get the bumper cover too?

nah....personally i hate all the bumper covers available for rangers...i plan on putting a 98-00 bumper on my 97 at some point

the one with the fog lights right.

no, just a stock 98-00 chrome bumper

oh ok that should look really clean. what did you end up paying for the hood?

koo thats the hood ham has, lemme know when u wana get it towd.

i ended up payin about 515 for the hood...found it on ebay and i know the hood is usually around 7 or 800 so i figured id jump on the deal, its alredy painted but imma probably strip it and get it primed....and ill let you know when a good time for me to tow the truck is

if its painted, dont strip it. just block sand it good then prime and re block sand. i wouldnt strip fiber glass it would be a hell of alot fowork....i wouldnt use under 320 grit either...

yea im not stripping it lol

lol i didnt know there was a difference in take paint off fiberglass and metal, but yea thats fine...im just hopin i have enough time off work and a vehicle so i can drive to your house and help out
