Well, as many of you know this is how my F-150 has looked for some time now:

Well, here's the new look:

No, I didn't change anything about the chassis it was sitting on. I took my other chassis that has a bad motor and possibly bad EP and threw the stock pieces on it. No, this truck does not have the lowering kit this is all of the stock suspension pieces.

What inspired me? I was looking at a thread that had a picture of Suicide_stars lowered Titan and I thought to myself.. I really want a lowered truck. I had plans of lowering one of mine and doing a street truck, this was the deciding factor of getting my butt in gear.

Keep in mind, this WAS a beater body so the paint job sucks and that's why it's missing the lens on one headlight and completely missing the other.. anyone have spares they can donate?

Anyways I want to get this thing LOW, I want to body drop it and have an idea for the front but how would I do the back? Shave down the three screw holes for the rear clip kind of like you do on the cars?

Edit: Other plans, sand it down and re-paint it, might change some of the body kit pieces.. thinking I'll make it fast too. Not super fast, but I want it to be pretty quick..

You should change the grille to the mesh one.

Over all, it looks pretty good.

That sounds like a challenge. :nod:

And yes, the blue will be gone. I'm going to re-paint it, most likely staying with black.. I think it looks pretty good black.

If I can't find a pair of headlights I might find a way to just black them out.

She looks pretty sleek in black, first F150 I've seen in that color.

I didn't even notice you were missing the lens until you said so, lol. Its a real nice paintjob, can't wait for you to get it lowered.

Ok, well I found my passenger headlight and lens so if anyone has just the lens for the driver side and doesn't need it contact me. :nod:

And thanks RSX, I've got a few different plans to lower it it's just finding the time. I'd work on it tonight but I'm organizing all of my crap :lol:
