To bring vision out during the night, a set of PIAA lights mounted into the front bumper would help the stock headlight assembly. With the bodywork and new panels added and complete, it was time for Ernest to have the crew at Liberty Body Shop of Los Angeles to lay down the paint of chose. Utilizing BASF (RM) paint, the Van would be painted a 3AM green along with a set of ghost flames to help bring things alive. With the exterior complete it was time to work the suspension. With running a set of 20x8.5 Weld Racing Evo Axis 5 wheels wrapped in 245-35-20 Toyo Tire Proxes, it would take a nice suspension set up to bring the body kit down closer to the ground. Starting in the rear, the frame rails would be notched and boxed by Sport Truck Specialty of Carson, CA, leaving more room for rear travel.

 Next a set of Bilstein shocks along with de-arched leaf springs would be installed to help insure added low. With the rear down, it was time to match ride height in the front. Utilizing once again Blistein shocks, a set of spindles would also be used. Not happy with the over all low, a complete air ride set up would be installed to bring the height down on necessary occasions.  Giving more room in the engine bay for the 20-inch wheels to come through, the stock battery would be replaced with a Yellow Optima and relocated.
