Ranchero 500 from march 1979

That is a good solution!

About fifteen years ago my state changed the license plate design just when I ordered a personalized plate. I didn't like the new design, but luckily I had a friend who was in the facility (yes, that one) at the time. He made an old style plate for me which I still use today.

 

Hello. The Ranchero is finished in terms of painting.
I'm happy with the result. Good news about the door seals...they're finally available!

 

Congratulations, Patrick! Your Ranchero will turn some heads and raise some thumbs!

 

looking good. congratulations.

 

Thank you, it's even more beautiful in daylight...

 

Looking at the last photo, you might ask your shop to readjust the hood. It seems to be raised at the left hinge.

 

Yes, there are still a few adjustments to be made. Thank you.

 

Finally, I have my holy grail! I received it today from “ruber the right way,” along with some goodies. I am really happy, especially since the Ranchero passed its technical inspection, which is essential for obtaining a registration certificate.

 

Congratulations, Patrick! Soon you will be cruising!

 

Congratulations! It's been a long wait.

 

Hi. The Ranchero is now in my garage. The hood still needs to be adjusted, but the body shop is closed for vacation. I'm not taking it out for now because it's raining a lot here at the moment. My caravan also arrived yesterday at my new home. I can't wait to hook it up behind the Ranchero—it'll make a nice set.

 

Did the door seal kit work? I imagine a few folks would like to know.

 

Yes, it worked...two or three plastic pins broke, but it still does the job. These are American products “made in China”...ha ha ha
You have to slam the door hard to close it.

 

patrick your Ranchero is a beauty!!!!! Great job!!!

 

The fit will improve as the rubber compresses.

The caravan is blue - what a surprise!

 

Hello, everyone. The latest news about my Ranchero: I received the French license plate, and luckily, it's “HG-793-EB.” For a vehicle from March '79, that's pretty cool... Especially since you don't get to choose it here; it's assigned randomly.

 

I like it! Now you must think up French phrases for HG and EB.

 

extremely difficult in french...but otherwise it's easier in your language; Honest Guy....Enjoy Boy
