panda not if you make it a true desert runner all the rear suspension would take up your sleeping room.
U might want to holla at a welder...
You would think there ought to be somewhere to buy that brick pattern cut out in some aluminum sheeting. That would be a good start. Just bend that slot through the middle about 3" wide or so and then cut the ford letters out of 1/4" aluminum flat bar. Paint it the gunmetal color if you want it to look like the raptor, but I personally think it would look sick as brushed aluminum.
