    That explains the nice job of centering the truck in the photo...

    Awesome work with that Ranger, Dan. Major kudos for your body work. I have yet to even attempt any significant bodywork or painting.

    This was my car that got me into modding. 1992 Dodge Shadow 3.0 V6 5-speed, bought in 1996.
    Of course it had a home-made cold air intake. Also ported the intake plenum, huge throttle body from a 3.8L van, strut tower brace, eibach springs/dampers, and muffler. Also had a decent sound system in it.
    It was hit when parked and totaled, or I may still have it today.

    Thanks. I later leveled it and ran a slightly larger tire. We also built the 2.9L but it was still a dog. Sold it when the body started to go. I'd love to rebuild this truck to keep.....just need to find a solid starter truck.
