Default "Tha Beast" my f-150 rock crawler project

i took my ugly stock yellow orange lookin f-150 and turned it into a rock crawler. i cut the bed off. i took the inside peice of the bed and melted it to the cab of the truck making a flat bed. then i cut he doors out of it. i got some roll cage parts from a NASCAR model kit and melted them in place if the doors. to give it a crawler look. after that i put a small cage on to the bed i dont think it matches the truck good so im probly goin to change it. i also painted the turck flat black. i used cheap 96 cent spray paint from wal-mart. i made a small custom body lift for the truck. now im workin on gettin some larger tires. let me know what yall think about my rock crawler. give me some ideas if you got any. thanks
