Thanks for the inside look into the eco boost. My brother in law just traded in a 6.2L Raptor for a Leadfoot Raptor with the 3.5L. That truck really scoots.

Looking forward to seeing some color. Excellent work as always.

Okay, red and white... but mostly red.

Did you tape off the stake pockets so white doesn't blow through?

Looks a lot more like sunset orange to my eyes. Yes I know the paint code 5 has been discussed here many times.

Yes, on my computer it looks orange too. On my phone, it looked red.

So I really like orange trucks too, I just didn't know it!

i did notice it should have been done after it was fully masked off. Since I need to scuff it and add clear I let it go as very pressed for time. Got very little blow thru. A bit of scuff n clear and it will be good to go.

Interesting side trim mounting holes on box/bed

each and every one of my trucks has different height, and total different spacing between holes it’s even different from side to side. No center to center distance is the same!

Looks like it was all all done by eyeball no rhyme or reason to any of it.

This is short bed bed if you can make out all the chicken scratch.
