F150 by Tre5 Customs

Hell yeah Jeremy!!! Can't wait to check it out at SEMA!!!

Do I see pearl over that silver? Also, did I miss something it the shell going back on?

The wheels are staying 22". I have 265/35 Falkens on it and plan to drive the truck everyday. If I went to 24" wheels I would obviously have to run smaller tires and the ride would be rougher. If it was a truck I only planned on driving every once and a while I would go 24 in a heart beat, but I want no worries and an awesome ride out of an everyday driver. I guess I am getting old, lol.

The silver is the stock silver, no added peal..... but added mirror flake. Just enough to see while not looking lowriderish. The shell isn't back on yet, the truck obviously isn't fully reassembled. Not having the shell makes reinstalling the air stuff much easier. The air stuff was removed to spray the new bedliner supplied by USC. From what I understand it's a brand new product. This was the first time Chad had ever sprayed it and it looks perfect!

It looks really good. Wheels don't look small. Maybe its the machined stripe around the lip. If it wasn't there breaking up the wheel from the tire they'd look like 24s.

Jeremy is correct, original silver color code (looks alot cleaner 12 years newer) with VooDoo Silver micro flake. All paint and bedliner was supplied by USC (US Chemicals). Great stuff, decent price and I use it daily at the shop. The bedliner, like Jeremy said, was a test kit and barely came out for testing this month. I imagine with as well as this kit sprayed it will be out by the first of the year. Its an epoxy instead of a urathane which means it will be rock solid, no need for primer under and you can paint right over it if you want to match your custom paint. Thanks for all the kind words, and thank you Jeremy for posting pics... I am swamped right now and updating the 3 cars when you are working mostly by yourself can prove to be difficult. Besides, none of you want to see the crappy cell phone pics I would be using anyways!!

No pic update, The dash is 90% back in. Just the center piece around the radio to go. Everything should be painted by the end of this week. I will be driving the truck up to Todd and Frank at The Interior Shop to finish up the new stereo and the rest of the interior. James from Select Glass came by and put the rest of the glass in it this morning as well. With two weeks to go, I am feeling very comfortable with the time line. The hardest thing for me is relying on other people to do the work I don't do. So far, this is the best team of shops I have used for a complete build. Thanks to everyone involved!!!
