There's a Raptor in my Garage :-)
« on: July 19, 2011, 11:11:14 PM »
Hey All,

We've been suckered into doing a SEMA vehicle this year :-).  It's a ford Raptor that is getting the works done in hopes of best in show for the truck category.  We're trying to draw some attention to it in the process.  We have a facebook page going for it: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Luxury-Performance-Raptor/140098266069973

Please "like" it if you can so we can draw a crowd.  It's currently at our shop getting the interior overhauled and then headed down to Arizona for audio work as well as other things.  So far, it's only been to Hennessey to get their supercharger install.

Thanks for looking and for the support.  Oh, and if you're not a fan of the JPM Coachworks page already, here's a link to that as well: http://www.facebook.com/JPMCoachworks

Thanks for following guys.  We just wrapped up the interior.  There are a number of trim pieces still missing that are getting metal plated in a dark nickel and will be assembled in the next week.  We should have a professional shoot of the truck next week sometime as well with the hopes of highlighting a magazine article.

Here's our current blog update on the build: http://jpmcoachworks.com/blog/?p=10
