I also had him shave the antenna and the ford emblem in the trunk.  Fixing some of the little dents and imperfections:<img src="http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/2054/4441/5134720038_large.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/2054/4441/5134720039_large.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/2054/4441/5134720040_large.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/2054/4441/5134720041_large.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/2054/4441/5134720042_large.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/2054/4441/5134720043_large.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/2054/4441/5134720044_large.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The final job:<img src="http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/2054/4441/5134720045_large.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/2054/4441/5134720046_large.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/2054/4441/5134720047_large.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/2054/4441/5134720048_large.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/2054/4441/5134720049_large.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/2054/4441/5134720050_large.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/2054/4441/5134720051_large.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I scored a set of export tails off ebay and put those things on there:<img src="http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/2054/4441/5134720077_large.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Let me tell you how much of a pain in arse it was to wire those things in.  Or rather the wiring wasn't the issue as was the rapid flash.  I tried numerous resistors in the harness to slow it down with no real success.  It worked, don't get me wrong, but they would get extremely hot.  I found a post in a f150 forum about a different flasher.  I ended up going over to autozone and picking up a stock replacement flasher with a trailor feature and BOOM it worked.  Just wish i would have tried that first.</blockquote>
