Haha, wel it's my dad's, his truck and $. He just don't know jack about this kind of thing. Just got the honor of planning the build for him. He now has decided he wants a whipple on it, things may get real here soon.

Frame is done, powder goes on this week

Rolling along much quicker than expected, all items are back from Coyote Coatings in Hueytown, Amazing job. Hand sanded all of it, and all was shot with clear. The chassis with running gear will be on display at Coyote's booth at the World of Wheels in February at the BJCC. It will have a 2.65L VMP supercharger on the coyote. Should make it a lot more fun to drive.
Went back with Yukon rear shafts, yukon gear install kits, drilled and slotted rotors all the way around. TMI hopefully will have the interior ready in 8 weeks.

Lol, so true. The blower just adds to the cool factor. Randy is moving fast, whole cab interior will be foam and dynamat. It should come together nicely

Getting closer to ready for world of wheels

Again

That is gonna look killer , going to paint the whole truck or just the firewall?

If you're needing some custom bits for the motor, Jason Lopez from CM Components does some nice work for the coyote motors. I had him do some billet coil covers for me.

Also, while all this is out of the truck, there's a pretty sweet deal going on 2020 GT500 ALUMINUM valve(cam) covers. Like 250 bucks for BOTH. I was mainly thinking to pick up a set before they sky rocketed once Ford found out they can make a buck off them and sanding/grinding down any non important things and polish/clear coat them.

Looking forward to seeing it this weekend. You gonna be hanging around there?

Hotrodpayton · Feb 4, 2020

I'll be there at some point, our family took a trip to Disney this week. So I will either be there Saturday and Sunday or just Sunday afternoon.
Thanks for the compliments,

Just painting the firewall and inner fenders, the rest is show quality already.
It's real close now, kills me the super charger isn't going to be on it for the show.

Fuel tank and rear drive shaft in, once again I can't brag on Randy enough for getting it this far this fast and Coyote Coating in Hueytown AL for the amazing job on the powder coating

yankster · Feb 7, 2020

I chubbed up a little peeping at that fuel tank.

Sorry to hear about your boy, hope he feels better soon. We're planning on being there around 4 today.

I've got a 86 F-150xl 4x4 and I'm thinking of coyote swapping it after I do frame up rebuild the truck was my first vehicle was it a can of worms to do the swap as I've been told
