Throwing My FULL OCD At This Thing! // Restoring My Gram's '94 Ranger

[@mickeyjuiced]

Allo Ms Sarah, other nicknames for your helicopter seed include Wing-Nut & Whirlygig.The term was based on the way the seeds spiral through the air as they fall from the tree. The seed comes from Maple trees in the US (Sycamore trees in the UK, which produced helicopters that shared the name). It's delightfully moving to watch this labor of love with your Granny's truck , you literally glow with every mention of her & every improvement you make. Not clear if her truck is yours now , I certainly hope so because I couldn't bear to watch you part with it.

My grandmothers died very young. The first one died when I was 6 years old and the other one died when I was 18. It was heart breaking. I envy anyone that’s had long term relationship with their grandmothers. 😢

I was 11 when my grandmother passed!! 😢

[@hawkinsjd11]

I like the videos the way they are. Do what you do.

[@saleendriver]

My grandparents are all gone. First one passed in 83. Second one passed in 87 (day after I graduated college). The last two, my mom's parents, passed within 3 months of eachother in 1993. I would give anything to get to talk to them just one more time. So much to say. Everyone call your parents, your grandparents. Hug 'em if you got 'em. Because you never know how much time you have left with them.

[@BFVgnr]

The sound of A10 flying overhead is so calming.

[@razinhailsharp]

Is it strange that I never served but I feel the same way? There's just something about the whistle of those engines.

Best thing Ford ever built! My buddy has 350,000 miles on his and it runs great! Solid, simple design. Car companies have forgotten that philosophy. They want to build $70,000 trucks over loaded with excess technology instead of reliable work horses, which is what we truly need day to day. Keep up the great job! BTW, I was a high end detailer/ restorer ( Pebble Beach winning cars) for 20 years. OCD is your friend!

I lost my maternal grandmother in 1984. Last winter, I was helping mom unpack after a big move back to our home town and I came across grandma’s mother-of-pearl hand mirror and hair brush.

Sitting in your seat on the shop floor is comfy because you don’t have pot holes all over your shop floor. I’m so looking forward to seeing this finished. It’s great your gran left you this. I know it will never replace your gran but it will bring back great memories every time you sit in it.

The seed of the maple tree was and still is known as a Polly nose in NYC area. You split apart the seed end on a fresh one and it will stick to the bridge of your nose. Kids running around with these seeds standing straight up on your nose = total silliness. Sarah, you would look so cute with one on your nose too.

[@erikstreda5980]

Nice job, turned out amazing so far. Cleeeean. For the bolts, you could get them derusted and new zinc coated at a shop doing galvanizing. That would be the perfect solution so they don't start rusting again any time soon. And usually you can retrofit old radios by adding a stereo-jack to it. There are tutorials about it on the interwebs. And then add a bluetooth-to-stereo-jack device.
