Rather not say on shop prices
Looks really good. .I'm putting my parts list together as we speak for the newer nose front end conversion.. I have the front and rear bumpers. I would love to find a shop in North Carolina to put it together. Please keep us updated.

The other issue when looking for parts is you have to change windshield wipers mechanism and cowl. My guy made some brackets that work with original motors. He didn't snap a pic before piecing it together. If your able to pull the parts off donor truck yourself and do it carefully it would be better. My hood and fenders were slightly tweaked and had to be worked on to get body lines to match up better. I'm guessing they were somewhat yanked off donor truck. He told me he had other customers who brought fenders in that couldn't be even used. Parts directly from dealer would be ideal but right around $7K

Great! Are you going with white? Or are you changing the color! I've always wondered how a pearl white X would look?

Decided to stick with original white, looked at several trucks, I don't know if it's just me but looks kinda dirty. my wife has Pearl White Expedition, not sure if it's same color as Super Duty I just like the pure white look.

Anybody happen to have any ideas for fender badges? Body shop has simply smothed over F250 emblem and had decal placed over it. Not too bad, any thoughts? I'm going to leave F250 for now.



Thinking about getting these for doors or should I just leave without?

We JUST had a group buy on those fender badges

Excursion is looking good, I may swing by and take a peek at it since I'll be around that part of town later today anyway.

Well, I had originally thought you just didn't have enough posts to enable PM's, but it's looking like you just opted not to allow them whatsoever. Which is fine, my previous offer stands of if you need help with something to hit me up, you'll just have to send smoke signals

Note sure why it doesn't allow PMs. I got a welcome to forum message and everything seems to be checked to allow.

There might be a minimum number of posts needed to enable PMs, I think the magic number is 25.


Nice work on the EX, looking forward to seeing it completed!

No idea, you may need to dig through your User CP settings and double check because the option isn't even there to PM you. I thought the minimum required was 10 posts, but Tom may be right with 25.

On second thought, I'm not going to sneak a peek at your rig. It wouldn't sit right with me without at least asking permission first plus YOU should be the one the reveal everything. I'll just sit here impatiently and wait

I may have to consult them on the mirror install however, I have a set of 2008 mirrors fully loaded that are awaiting install in the garage and I HATE wiring. Since mine is an '01, I don't have all the plug n play harnesses like you do so harness fabrication and wiring will have to be sorted through to make the power fold and telescope work properly.

Looks like those photos are from the wet sanding process. White blood all around it. Lol. That should buff out to a nice shine. They are moving right along!

Hopefully this weather doesn't slow them down much. While sunny, it's 58° with 20mph winds on my side. Bleh.

Ok, I want to steal your front doors.

Details man, details!

Also, what's with the loops under the new rear quarters? No plans on buzzing those off?
