One of the first items at hand would be to shave the emblems on the front fenders to give them the smooth look. To keep the front moving, a Stillen front bumper was installed.  Moving back to the rear, the decision was to shave the hood squirters, cab seems, rain gutters and wiper cowl. Still trying to find the rear of his ride, Thomas found other items, which would end up being replaced with new materials. The gas filler door was relocated into the bed. The bed caps, third brake light and the locks for the tonneau cover were shaved.

 Finally at the rear of the truck, it was time to ditch the stock taillights and mold in a set of Cadillac tails. Once molded in, they then welded the tailgate shut and molded the roll pan to the bed. To help give the F150 its own look, the windows were limo tinted.   With the bodywork complete and the prepping done, it was time to apply the paint. The color of choice would be PPG 1999 Porsche blue pearl. There were so many coats of paint and clear the depth of the color is unreal.
