Ace's 1975 Ranchero

Forgot to upload this like a month ago @_@ (Also I'm half asleep so I apologize if this description seems a little meeeeeeh.)

This little beauty belongs to another one of my characters, Ace Slade. I don't want to go to much into his back story because I want to save it for when I actually finish his redesign (I haven't drawn him in at least 5 years.) But I will say that Ace is the Junker of Pack Mentality. He's wrecked more cars than any other member. Except this one.

Ace loves this 75' Ranchero he styled after the Starsky and Hutch Gran Torino more than any other car he's had. Some of the other members tease him for "babying" it a little to much, but when push comes to shove Ace isn't afraid to stick the Ranchero up your tail pipe.

There's only one car he loves more which is a brown 1967 Mustang Fastback up on blocks at the back of the Pack Mentality shop. The car is severely beaten and full of bullet holes, he keeps "Betty" as a reminder of who he used to be.

But back to the Ranchero-

Originally it sported a more modest Ford 250 L6 with a 3-speed but Ace converted it to a 351 Cleveland with 4-speed which he yanked out of "Betty" (Ace blew "Betty's" 289 V8 and threw in a 351 he bought from a yard).

Roll bars were added more for style than safety.

Custom beaded Slot Mags make Ace's wheels stand out just a little more than your average Mags.
