  • Today, it's old school "altered" body work for Project Rolling Thunder! Ryan has pushed our racetrack Ford Ranger's front axle forward by 6 inches, so it's up to Kevin to make the fenders fit!

      I was wondering the same thing. You can tell they modified the bumper. It matches up to the modified wheel arch perfectly!

  • @OlderthanIlookyoungerthanIfeel

    I have the stock 4 liter Ranger and it's got more than enough power to step out on a regular basis . I can't imagine a V8 and how hard that would be to daily . But then i don't have independent suspension from a Mustang either .

    Now I wonder if I can push my IFS forward on my 4x4 (FX4) Ranger for better weight distribution AND a better Angle of Approach (or Attack, as I for some reason prefer to call it).
    100% gonna look at it....though my powerplant will be a sedate 300+ Hp/torque supercharge, not a drag or race truck.

    At 6:48 it looks like he cut away the bottom flange of the forward donor fender but it is still there later. Maybe an inner reinforcement causing an optical delusion?

    Idk why mustangs get a bad rep for mowing down crowds of ppl.
    I know it's funny, but it's not the car. It's the idiot behind the wheel that dosen't doesn't know how to drive.
    I've had many mustangs and this same exact model of ranger with a 302 swap.
    I never had to worry about rolling over ppl leaving anywhere.
    Anywho, great video. Keep this awesome content coming! 🚘
