Knowing what all was needing to be done, Max's first decision on the build up would be dropping the wagon off for the crew from Phat Rides of Houston, Texas; to bring things to proper heights. While in their hands, many of the suspension items would be replaced and reworked in order for things to fall into place. Starting it off, the front spindles where replaced with a set from Bell-Tech, and Toxic shocks were mounted at all 4 corners. Next the crew from Phat Rides then custom built brackets that would soon house a set of Firestone airbags. With the bags in place, this would allow quick ups and downs for dragging ass stances or cruising down the highway. Ensuring that the ass end lay out, the rear frame rails would be notched, allowing further travel for the suspension. Not satisfied with the current stance, Max decided to allow the crew from Phat Rides to throw down a 3 ½ inch body drop to help set him above the competition and further put a grasp on the competition. Allowing the wheels to have room in the rear, the stock tubs would need to be reworked and raised. Now happy with the current level of low-ness, which has the fenders caressing the Budnik Arrowhead wheels, it was time to re-work the body to match the ride stance.

Bringing some class to the wagon, many things would need to be removed and set aside for the trash man to dispose of properly. Starting at the front of the ride Max went with a '95 Impala SS grille along with a California Custom USA front bumper.
