Raptor with Excursion Back Half
Have you all seen Custom Autos By Tim's latest? He's grafting on the back half of Excursions to Raptors. Looks okay but I would have rather seen this done utilizing an Expedition as opposed to an Excursion.

Here's an article about it: 2013 Hennessey VelociRaptor 600 SUV First Drive - Autoblog
Hennessey is claiming all the fame for the vehicle but CABT is who really does the conversion.

X2. The lines don't match up with the back window. And on the black one, it looks like excursion side windows and an expedition back tailgate. Very disappointed. It just looks like a clusterf**k of parts.

That black one must have been the first one they built as all the others ones he will build will have the Excursion rear. The guy still does awesome work with Excursions in general though. If I am ever in the market for another Excursion, my choice would be to have an Excursion as it would have looked in 2007. That style of Super Duty/Excursion is my favorite to this day.

The problem with this is that to make this look good you have to chop BOTH a new Raptor AND a new Expedition - few are going to spend that much and totalled trashed late model Expeditions are going to be harder to come by and more expensive - those Excursion rear ends can be had for cheap since they are 10+ years old with xxx,xxx miles.
Even tim used an older expedition on the black Raptor SUV. That rear glass is uuuugly.

I don't think money was an issue with this. 75k + 47k for a base, supercrew Raptor is 122k; that is the absolute cheapest this could possibly be. This is such a small niche market; someone that can afford that price likely isn't going to be priced out of the market for any reason.
