Rear End Aluminum Alignment
I'm done with the rear end aluminum and there is a significant (maybe 1/2") where the bottom lip of the lower trunk floor panel extends rearward past the side panels on the trunk. Is this normal? Does it need to be trimmed? All panels seem to be properly positioned.
Thanks!

Factory Five supplies the necessary mounting pieces on their Coyote completion kit. If you're doing a hydraulic clutch, the pieces can be modified to still work. Several build threads including mine show some ways to do that.
Yes, I've had to trim a little along the transmission tunnel. But not quite that much. Make sure you have the floor sheeting flat on the frame and everything else fitted before cutting anything.
Thanks. I'll ditch that switch and get the other installed. And, yes - I made sure all panels were well seated before trimming.
Thanks again!

On the calipers, I had the same issue with paint. Just take care when bleeding, as the bleeder screws can be loose in those calipers and let fluid out that will ruin your paint job. I just ended up not painting the bleeder pad.
Thanks. I probably fitted all panels 5 times to make sure positioning was proper before trimming. Now that they are trimmed, everything seems well aligned.
Thanks again,

Front Battery Tray
I installed the Breeze front mount battery tray. Very nice piece with excellent instructions.

Headers and Pipes Ordered
I've held off ordering my headers and side pipes until now, but given the 4-6 week lead time and my hope that I will make good progress over the next month or two, I contacted Georgie at Gas-N and ordered the headers in natural stainless and the side pipes in polished finish. Can't wait to receive these.

Tasty, but careful to not chip a tooth...

Looking good. I had read in several builds that it was worthwhile to replace the gasket between fuel tank and filler neck that comes with the kit with an OEM gasket from Ford. That proved to be good advice since the kit gasket started leaking right away and I had the OEM gasket on hand. Ford Part # F4ZZ-9072-DA

Steve - thank you for the suggestion. I too stumbled across that recommendation and ordered and installed the Ford OEM part. Trying to learn from others experiences as much as I can...

I saw a post by Hacksaw84 where he made a new pedal pad which matched the other Wilwood pads and I liked it better than the OEM pad (shown in the first pic below).
Here is the
link to Hacksaw's original mod.
I ordered two Wilwood pads off Amazon, trimmed them and mounted them to the coyote pedal arm. I am happy with the results.
Looking good man, appreciate the shout out. I did end up trimming the corner a little after the panel was on. Just to be sure I had complete clearance.
