I'm going to start off saying that this truck is my baby, practically my life. The truck is a 1979 Ford F-100 Ranger Lariat Edition. I got the truck when i was 14 years old, had it for one day, then completely stripped it down. I spent two years restoring the outside and inside across the street in our garage. I finished all of the body work, paint, and final assembly soon after I turned 16. But I always stay with the mindset that it will never be a finished project because I love this truck and am constantly making it my own. I wanted the finished product to be SEEN, HEARD, and FELT from a mile away and I believe that I have about accomplished this according to the Po-Po's.
