Well I've been workin on this turd for years and finally get to finish her. I got really bad hail damage about a week ago so nows my chance to finish everything out like I want to. I have a full Saleen S331 body kit minus the hood so i'll be getting that painted and put on finally. Plus ordering the new hood of course. I got 6k from the insurance company and they expect it to be atleast another 1000 before its all said and done with. Here are the plans for the rest of the build.

Number one is I will be getting the whole truck repainted the with body kit. I will also be having my mirrors and handles and interior redone since the original painter did such a crappy job. I'll also be painted the bed rails as well and getting all the door and roof dings taken out. It will be a completely new truck! The decision I am fighting with is painting the truck a gun metal grey color or leaving it all black. (I'll need some opinions on that one) The grey color I am talking about is the same color as the chevelle Vin Diesel drives in the last fast in furious in the beginning just to give yall a reference.

Next I will be getting a sealed boxed for my adire kodas that will fit under the seat and completely rewiring the whole truck and moving the amps to the back wall. I'll also be spraying the roof and door panels with e-dead. Also I will be redoing my suede headliner and adding all LEDS to the interior of the truck. And the final most important part is getting the new Kenwood DNX6980 or 7160 along with a bit.one so I can run my system active. Another Maybe for the interior is getting some Katskinz even though I already have leather seats I would love to get some custom seats and also a flowthru console with the center console shifter.

Since I have to replace my balljoins and upper control arms, I figured now would be the perfect time to do a 2/3 drop. I have absolutely no idea about anything suspension related. All I know is I want a nice smooth ride not a rough bouncy one and a good quality kit. So if you guys could recommend me some kits I would really really appreciate it. Along with that I will be getting new slotted rotors and brake pads and calipers. And, I will be getting new Falken Ziex's since they are the best tires i've ever owned still going strong with 60k plus miles.

Well as far as the necessities go thats pretty much it, but ofcourse theres still a few other items i'd like to throw into the mix budget allowing. The number one of course is either a whipple or saleen blower. I might try and snag fatherfords kit if its still available since it's less wear on the drivetrain. I would also like to install some cams in the process and I def need to replace my plugs. I would also like a bed rug as well. Well I think that's all I can come up with for now besides powdercoating my wheels black if I do decide to go with the gunmetal grey look.

Any input and opinions on my project are greatly appreciated! Please provide links if possible. I will keep yall updated and post pics when I got em. Should be in the body shop by next week if all the parts come in. Thanks guys appreciate yalls input as always.

here's kinda a picture of what she looks like right now.

now its got a saleen grill up front and a black ring going around it

 

Man I'm not much of a street truck guy but that's a beautiful truck. I'd stick with the black and powder coat the wheels almost black but not quite as matte as rockstars or monsters come. Get you a high quality non Ford black repaint, I have a buddy with a z71 that went with a non facotry black and it's amazing.

 

stay with black for sure. dont worry about katskinz leather, i dont think it fits right if you ask me.

a good drop, new balljoints, repaint, and a solid system and your good to go. keep us updated
