New guy from Atlanta, GA - 67 Ford F100 Ranger

[CarbonGS]

Just wanted to introduce myself here. I just sold my 4Runner this week and needed another daily driver/project car. Something that I could work on and drive at the same time. So, it was natural to use some of the money that I got from the sale of the 4Runner and put that towards a good daily that is practical, easy to use, and easily attainable for a good price. Of course, I had to find something a little more unique, rare, and unexpected. The result, a 1967 Ford F100 Ranger.

There will be more pictures posted as I build the truck. Going for a more resto-mod type build on the truck. Something more practical, kinda showy, but mostly reliable. I will be using the truck as a daily and a tow vehicle for my show car and bass boat

A little background on me. I'm a 25 year old born and raised in Atlanta, GA. Been building cars since I was 7. Helped a neighbor wrench on his Porsche 911 turbo and I've been doing motor work, fabrication, maintenance, detailing, audio, video, etc... ever since.

My customized Lexus GS300 show vehicle.

This is the truck that I picked up in Ellijay, GA













The plans as of now are to build something like this but keep the oem colors



Any suggestions, comments, or concerns just post it up. I am very new to the domestic game. Definitely want to do things right the first time. Heard this was the place to find out how to do that so here I am.

from Phelan, SoCal. Yup... you've got a keeper there. Even though I've got a '70, my heart belongs to '67's. I agree with Mancar, this site is the BEST for our era F series.

Good evening CarbonGS,

Your car sure looks fancy, and that's a very nice looking '67! I love its color combo and the white steel grille.

Of all your great photos, this one is my favorite by far. The rugged, scenic background complements the truck's best qualities.

Started modding already. Had one of my headlight bulbs go out so I opted to upgrade to newer glass housings that can receive H4 bulbs. HID kit coming soon.

Passenger side done and driver's side original



Both done



Thanks to my good buddy Jordan here's a Photoshop of the car just an idea of what direction we are thinking of taking the truck. Let me know what you guys think!!!
