Dan, I sent you a PM. I have a pic I got from lance of the truck when it was for sale before you bought it when we were making fun of it. I still remember when you first joined and told us which truck you bought..
Does anybody still remember Black Gold, LOL...........................Kid

Fordman: Thanks for the update and new pics. Just curious as to what you're going to use to latch the rear doors. I like the suicide doors as they 1. Are different and 2. Provide greater access to the rear seats.

Ahhhh yes.....Black Gold!
For only $10k you to could have every part in the JC Whitny catalog bolted and glued to your slick!

hey guys thanks for the comments. i am going to make slick stock 2010! i know i said that for 08 but...
i will make it happen this time! to answer the question about the suicide door latches. i am using a aftermarket bearclaw latch setup on both rear doors. the real fun was making a pivot and linkage for the newly moved factory door handles to work with them. I moved the door handles from the back of the doors to the front and switched the right for the left so they would face each other like the old suicide door lincolns did. lot of work but i think looks cool. will try to keep you all better updated...dan
