Bouchard worked with designer Eric Brockmeyer to come up with a concept for the truck, then brought the project to Korek to transform imagination into reality. Korek gave Carlos a ground- up customization that sets a new benchmark for vintage F100s. The team started with an Art Morrison chassis matched to a 9-inch Strange rear end. Then they added a set of Continental tires over Mike Curtis 19- and 20-inch wheels. Wilwood 14-inch brake rotors with six-piston calipers provide stopping power, a definite necessity because Carlos sports a potent Vintage Motorsports supercharged 5-liter Coyote that screams performance. The interior got plenty of attention too. Relicate leather stitching from John Miller at Hide Originals covers the door panels, headliner, center console and Snowden custom bucket seats. Dakota Digital's HDX-2018 extended instrument cluster dominates the dashboard and houses the Vintage Air system and vents. COOL A key attraction is the F100's bodywork. Korek gave the truck a custom grille assembly and new bumpers. The custom tailgate and white oak pickup bed further sets Carlos apart from the mundane. For the finishing touch, Korek used ENVIROBASE ® High Performance basecoat toners and DCU2021 Urethane Clear to create his eye-catching, one-off "Blue Ice" metallic finish. When a pro like Korek takes on a project, it's no surprise there's an award waiting. AS ICE.
