    Still working along, big milestone on Friday, Engine and transmission installed. It was a long hot summer so I worked on a bit of wiring inside of the house, here are some pics

    The Gen3 Coupe when ordered with the that combo it is a bolt in solution. It still takes some planning, I drop in the engine only earlier this year to see where I can mount certain things, I have run my brake and fuel lines and most of my electrical. For instance the Relay /Fuse box for the Coyote is sitting on top of the footbox in some of my pics, that was so I could get the engine and trans in, the box is in it's permanent place bolted to the side of the foot box.

    Paul,

    You had a first start and all we get is a lousy picture?

    Congrats that's a big one!

    Just a quick update, We are in early go-cart stage, went up the street about 3 or 4 houses and turned and backed it in the garage. We was out at Barrett Jackson everyday and we had a little Pre Auction party, I do have some pics I hope to post soon.

    I've been working on a number of other projects and taking a little breather. I started to get back into the swing of things since the weather has been a bit cooler than normal. A couple weeks ago I was going to move it out of the garage and had no brake pedal, so I push it in and out. I got it up in the air and found I had a leaky brake caliper. Fix that re-bled the brake and I have good pedal now. I also know I was going to need a clutch pedal stop so the slave cylinder would not get pushed too far. Made one out of a Al barstock and appliance foot to make it adjustable. Also installed 1" wheel spacers in the rear that I purchased on Black Friday. We most of the little things done it was time for a drive around the block.

    Awesome Paul,

    Congrats on the first go kart. Are you doing the body work yourself?
