Luxury Performance Raptor

I think I posted this in the wrong place before. Sorry.

Building a Raptor for SEMA and Off-road Expo. Check it out and let me know what you think.

That is Alcantara, it is being done by JPM Coachworks in Temple GA.

On Saturday the truck leaves JPM and will go to Albuquerque to get the sound system installed. After that it goes to Addictive Desert Designs in AZ where it is getting all the exterior flare as well as suspension done. It will be extensive.
Stay Tuned...

I see the work you did on your truck, nice job. So obviously you understand what a top quality interior should consist of. The material used is actually Alcantara, and the seat will be covered in Edelman Leather Royal Hides some of the finest leather available.

If you continue to follow the build you will also see the rest of the pieces that when put together should be a very attractive and luxurious truck that I know at least I will enjoy.

Please feel free to chime in with suggestions, I am open to changes if there are materials available that I didn't consider.

First off want to apologize, and admit I didn't read all of the posts. And I by no means think what I did was even close to the level of work on your raptor (so far only won a couple awards for a 50 ford we built including classic truck at goodguys nationals, while I'm at it I think the interior in it did not come out good at all). I just felt that there was not enough info on the planned work given to qualify it as a luxury performance raptor. Ill be watching to see where you go with the rest of the build

I will be posting here on the thread as we progress as well. I hope you enjoy the build. And please feel free to give your input, by no means do I feel I have all the answers, what makes these communities so great is the collective minds.
