A new hood, fenders, headlights, front bumper as well as a Trenz billet grille insert were installed and aligned for a stock look. Next, Luis shaved a few items to give Jim's ride an even more custom look. For starters, Luis shaved the stake pockets on the bed of the with truck and removed the third brake light.  | Smoothing out the bad rails always gives a clean look. To add to that, Jim had the third brake light removed as well. |

Now with his ride hugging mother earth and shaved out, it was time to hand over the rains to Clark Barker to apply his wealth of paint knowledge to this beast of a ride. To start things off, Clark would go over the truck making sure it was prepped to perfection and block one last time before adding the paint. After being satisfied with what he had to work with, it was time to add the PPG paint that Jim had requested. The base color that Clark would first apply was Indigo blue. After applying many coats, Clark then tested his hand at applying graphics to Jim's ride.  Once the final graphics were sprayed, the truck was cleared, cut and buffed. This gave Jim a warm fuzzy feeling inside.
