Do you plan to do anything as far as bodywork goes? I have started collecting raptor parts for this swap and what to do about the bed and fenders is still something I am thinking about.

Well may end up slowing up my truck build a little bit. Ive been away from bikes for a while but stumbled upon a deal i couldn't pass up. Picked this up last weekend and its going to eat into my build budget for a little bit.
