Sorry, I'm new around here
Because Paul doesn't do this as a hobby, and because he does work for a business that creates these beasty boys, anyone who asks this question puts Paul in a really difficult position between a rock and a hard place.
Please understand guys, FTE has strict rules forbidding non-supporting vendors from advertising and selling on the forum, so let's please not go down that path, or ask questions that might point the thread in that direction.
I would really appreciate it if we could just enjoy the awesome build to come, and be like almost everyone else who will read this thread, and wish the build was for us!
Paul, when did you start the project? When do you think it will be finished?

.Anyway, I saw one of these this summer at Fort Casey on Whidbey Island, WA. Needless to say I drove around the parking lot a couple of times to get a 360* view.

I'm sure there is a good reason for cutting the EX at the front posts instead of just clipping the Super Duty at the rear of the cab, using the chassis, and adding the back of the EX cab. When you have time please explain. Thanks, love the project, want to do the same, have it done, that is. Bobby

In basic terms he's (you're) going to cut the back off the Ex, behind the doors, take the bed off the truck, cut the end of the cab of the truck, and stitch the back part of the Ex to the truck?
I know that's a HUGE understatement, just trying to get a basic idea.
The bed of the truck looks longer than the Ex piece behind the rear doors.

Yeah maybe the roof details (ridges and bumps and what not) are different between the truck and the Ex and you need the whole roof rather than welding them together in the middle.
Its amazing that after all years between the two vehicles that things still sort of line up.

Splicing a roof down the middle would be very time consuming welding and working it back in to look nice. You want all the pieces to fit together at the factory seems as much as possible to look and be correct. I'm excited!
