Day off work = scallops for the Ranchero

Took a day off work last week and decided to give my little cruiser an upgrade. H.A.M.B. member Dixon came over and after a 20 pack of buds and a few hours of work this is what we ended up with. Let me know what you think. I'm pretty pleased with the results.

 

Tasteful!! Sweet little ride.....

 

Looks really nice. Not to extreme.

 

I like 'em, very similar to the ones on my Capri.

 

Looks great! One of my favorite cars! I think I would add one to the rear wheelwell, with the point coming off the top of the wheelwell to match the front. (my .02)

 

Love em, nice and simple. Looks great!

 

Looks very nice . Not over done either like many .
Always did like the Falcon and Ranchero so you have the perfect combination !

Retro Jim

 

Thanks for all the kind words guys! It was my first time doing any paint work like this so it was a little nerve racking.

 

Sweet ride!! I had to see what rustydusty's idea would look like. Here's a quick Photoshop job.

 

Might need to take another day off! It looks great!

 

Suttle and sweet! As I always say "less is more". Nice.

 

I dig it. Kinda like what I had started on my old GMC. makes me wanna go paint my ranchy......

 

Looks good, doing the back should only take a case now that you know what your doing!

 

Those wheels are cool.

 

Ditto

 

Awesome!! Amazing what you can do with a buddy and a 20 pack!!

I really dig those 4 lug cragars. Hardly ever see those.. Sick little cruiser you got there...

 

nice! i really like the light blue and white.

 

Now you guys got me thinking hard about doing the rear also. There is some goofy pinstriping on the hood and tailgate so I need to think of something clever to do. Thanks for all the motivation, hopefully I'll post some more shots on monday if I do anything else.

 

Looks great! I think I would do the rear too, but, make the "tails" coming off the scallop along the body line a bit longer on both...

 

Thats sharp, I did the white n that blue plus there tasteful

 

Looks good. Nice and simple.

 

cool ride

 

Looks great

 

It looks nice. Cool truck...........Mike

 

you're on the right track , but a little professional fine tuning would'nt hurt . Drive it by and I'll lay a little tape on it for you NC.

 

Very Nice!

The addition of the rear scallops will make an already outstanding Ranchero even sweeter.

 

Excellent scallops

Me too! But I'm biased

 

Travthis. I notice you did not have the door handle installed. Just not done or are you shaving the handles. Love the colors! I have a '62 Ranchero.Looking for COOL ideas. Thanks Ken N.
