99 Ranger Repaint

I figured I would start this thread here. This is the first time I have posted any project related to this truck. I bought it in December of 09 with 76K on it. I have driven it daily up until a year ago. I decided a month ago I was going to fix all of the minor rust starting to show up and repaint it.

Scope of the work includes:
Replacing the core support
Replacing the right door with a clean junkyard door
Replacing the tailgate with a new aftermarket one
Repairing a small spot of rust on the left rear wheel well
Replacing both cab corners.

I will be repainting it the original color again, black with the PPG concept line.

I don't have a great "before" picture but I will show them in order of how the project started.

That is how it sits right now. Hopefully a week from today I will have it painted!

haha, I would be too! Everything kind of blends together when you are at Carlisle. Most everything is nice so things start hiding in plain site.
 












The link you posted doesn't take me to the grill you are talking about.

Can you post a picture and part number?
 






Truck looks good! Nice job!
