First the door handles, stock mirrors, tailgate handle, taillights and antenna would have to be history. Next the antenna would have be relocated and frenched into the passenger's side of the C pillar. Once all the bodywork was complete Ryan laid down several coats of factory Chevy Fairway Green paint and topped that off with generous amounts of the clear stuff.  With the paint shining it was then time to finish the exterior of the dime. Troy added a 97 Chevy S-10 chrome grill shell with a phantom billet grill hiding the HID conversion headlights neatly behind it.

A new 99 Chevy chrome bumper was added and detailed with a color matched Blazer front valance to make the nose of the dime sit firmly on the tarmac. Next a set of Harley tribal billet mirrors were added where the stock elephant ear mirrors once resided. To enclose the bed from the elements a color matched Checkmate bed cover was then installed. To allow the Louisiana state bird, the mosquito, a place to enter the cab, a 40 x 55 Streetbeat sliding rag was installed into the roofline.  No mini would be complete without an interior fit for a king. So once again the three brothers put there custom skills together and decided to wrap everything on the inside of the truck in Grey tweed embossed with tribal designs for detail.
