Project: INCOGNITO *pics*

[HIVOLTG]

well finally putting some pics up of my current project.

Backstory: Let a younger sibling borrow my L and long story short, He fell asleep and drove it into a cement culvert totaling it. Couldn't afford another L right now so picked up a 97 2wd that is being converted into my old L.:rockon:

Have the complete interior swapped minus the door panels, plan to black out the interior when I do complete tear down which is looking like I'm going to wait till winter to swap engine/trans in and everything else

The rear suspension still needs a c-notch so I have my shackle on the highest setting. Hope to have the brackets from DJM this week to get that done.

Let me know what your opinions are: thinking about painting the front bumper black for now and taking my chrome fuel door back off to black it out

Big change for that '97. Looking a million times better already. Congrats and good luck with the rest. FFS

why didnt insurance pay for a new L?

 

[HIVOLTG]

I got the money from insurance. but my "driving style" hasn't treated me the best (mainly due to having a Yamaha R1:nono so high risk insurance is was what I couldn't afford on a new L

Are you going to leave the 97 in stock body trim? (No L front bumper or ground effects)

It would be one hell of a sleeper that way.:rockon:

I cant decide yet. Still up in the air on that decision. LOVE the look of the L so that will be my hardest decision of the whole project. If I do put the L kit on I still will leave all the badges shaved as it is now. I also have a hard bed cover but it is still red off the last truck

nice work bud!! cant wait to see final outcome

 

[crazy4ink]

incredible job man! Looks really good! If it was me, I would leave the L body pieces and emblems off for a while. Go hunting and laugh at people's faces when they think they got dusted by a regular F150.

if you dont do the L body kit, I personally would look into the STX bumpers, as its painted instead of chrome. would look really nice IMO

Nice project, dude.
I love sleepers.
I may sell my truck and do this.

 

[=fast=]

looks way better...

 

[lightninmike]

Your doing a great job man....... Was the red one Larrys old truck????

 

[I'D WIN]

Nice work. Its like a night and day difference! I like the end result!

 

[BoostGhost]

I think it looks badass the way you have it right now without the bodykit. I would do what was said earlier though and get a painted front bumper but it looks great otherwise.

Yes it was! I bought it from the 2nd owner after Larry sold it.

looks like a sweet project,what kind of rims are those?


also sorry about your L

 

[Un4GivN]

I hope someone got the shit kicked out of them.. Truck looks great though!

 

[HIVOLTG]

The rims are Eagle Alloys 178 18".... One was destroyed in the accident and they have since discontinued them... That was a FUN search to find one:bash:

I just had them powdercoated black for something different and because a couple had small scratches in the chrome from going through a ditch

Sorry to see it took the last ride but what your doing is damn cool. Keep us updated as you start to break into swaping the motor and such
