    As far as molding is concerned, I found this on the FB Torino/Ranchero page; will it work for you?

    It's from a '72 wagon, but will that match Red Ryder?

    Thanks guys.Ended up wet cut and buffing clear coat on entire surface.Paint is now flat as glass and is now officially a 10 footer- IMO.
    Received new carpet,unfortunately had a blemish.Good people at ACC,UPS picked it up next day and new improved rug on the way.
    This is clear coat prep system I used.Worked great as long as you dont burn the edges...DOH!
    Had a set of 255-65/17 wheels off a new ranger for my pathfinder stored.Wanted to get a visual look with 17"wheels.No bueno..Will run the LSC 16s till I get cash for a set of 16"torq-thrust D grays.Maybe Joe will send me some more cash!HA HA

    Picked up a can of eagle one nevr dull polish at wally world a while back to clean up trim parts.Impressed,really turned out nice.Coated part with rubbing compound,let it set a while.Then tore chunk of nevr dull cotton material and proceeded to rub aggressively. Did this twice till cotton did not turn black.Latex gloves required,mask off paint if on car.Heavy duty petroleum distillates. (naphtha)Will see how long shine last after waxing...
