New look pic

Here is a pick of the truck as she looks now. It hasn't been waxed and isn't very clean but I wanted to show you the new look.

The front fender vents are out of a 04-05 Buick Park Avenue.

Thanks!

Jeff,

The powder coating started coming off of the old ones. After a huge fight with the company I just got my money back. If everything works out I might have new wheels and tires soon.....I HOPE....

Jon,

Man that looks really good. Those fender vents look sharp. The whole truck takes on a different look.

Looks good Jon.

Care to share who attempted the powder coating the first time? I'm expecting to need a coater before the end of the year. I was thinking of using powder tech, up by Love Box.

They came from the factory that way. It was a problem with there overseas powder coater. You might look up Shawn he's step dad owns a powder coating company and they do great work.

Thanks guys! I'm real happy with the new look. There are a few issues I need to take care of but nothing major. That surround being painted makes a huge difference.

Very Cool ride what would be neat is to find some Lightening Rims to keep with the ford theme.

You might want to look up "the lorac company" they have done some work for us in the past and have done an outstanding job.
