Classy, Simple, and Sinister
Let’s get the inside scoop on this impressive ’22 F-150! Kelley Senn’s build can be summed up in two steps: Make a plan, and the execute it. She did her due diligence, decided exactly what she wanted, and then put a plan into motion to accomplish it. The only thing she had to do was find a shop that could take that vision and turn it into a reality. Luckily, she didn’t have to go far to find that shop: XLR8 Motorsports was right in her hometown of Ocala, Florida! As it turned out, XLR8 was a one-stop shop for everything Kelley had envisioned.

To upgrade our classic 1968 Chevy C10 truck to a modern driving feel and performance, our new coilover suspension kit from QA1 comes with everything you need to convert your frontend to coilovers with rack-and-pinion steering. The powered rack-and-pinion will give us quicker steering and a tighter feel on the wheel. We will also swap out the rear suspension with the company’s coilover conversion kit before finishing it all off with their front and rear sway bars.
The Ford was once owned by Matt Holden—a well-known name in the custom game as he works alongside Jake McKiddie of Phat Phabz. Together, the guys built the truck to debut at the SEMA ’17 event and gained a lot of attention during the process. Back then, it was a shimmering blue color with killer painted graphics on each side.
This build seemed like a never-ending project, says Cory Hussey, owner of this ’05 Chevy Colo-rado. Instead of purchasing a vehicle and gutting it, he went a different route. “I found a bunch of pieces at a scrapyard,” Cory says. “This was going to be a long and expensive journey.” Starting with an ’05 Chevy Colorado cab and a pile of scrapyard piece, the project began—and eventually turned into this fully custom Beecher Blue beauty.
