One of his projects was this 2006 Lincoln Mark LT.<\/p>\n<p>It was just a few months before the SEMA show when Rick took delivery of the truck. The options were limitless \u2013 bodydrop and shave, lifted to the sky, but Rick wanted to go custom without taking away from the classy lines of the truck.<\/p>\n<p>There are tons of little details on the truck that most people would just glance past. Like the custom radius and sculpting done to the license plate box on the custom rollpan. Or the machined spears done down the side of the truck that were built out of aluminum and then chromed. It\u2019s the little touches like that which really make this truck stand out.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"highslide\" onclick=\"return vz.expand(this)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Lincoln-billet-details.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[10802]\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10820\" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" title=\"Lincoln billet details\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Lincoln-billet-details.jpg\" alt=\"Billet, Chrome, Trim, Lincoln\" width=\"575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Lincoln-billet-details.jpg 880w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Lincoln-billet-details-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Lincoln-billet-details-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Lincoln-billet-details-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>True to his word, Rick had the Lincoln on the floor of the SEMA show on time, and looking awesome.
