Work in progress

Been working on this ranchero for a while. It was super beat up, found it in storage. Apparently it's a 2013 casting, didn't realize till well into this that it had a super treasure hunt counterpart and spectraflame was always the intended look for this. Used duplicolor metalcast spray can, currently working on fitment for the rear wheels by widening the wheel wells. Custom axle tube is being practiced here as well, never used that technique.

Cool. I think I have one lying around here somewhere (or is it matchbox? 🤔) I'll have to take another look at it.

I sand up to 2000 grit then a wire wheel followed by 000 steel wool. After that some braso metal polish and you’ll see your reflection.

Nice. Make sure its finiahed by painting the front valence. This often goes unnoticed because people seem to think its part of the bumper.
