So. Been quite for a while but things are moving along. As everyone else, I started with the "F" plate and front suspension, Installed as well averything I have from the rear suspension, but FFR is really behind with a bunch of parts and that will stall my build very shortly.94DB1F61-BEFE-443C-8694-57C13C35EDAD.JPGIMG_5133.jpgIMG_5135.jpg

Next step now is to replace the seals of the differential and plug the oil cooling section (honestly do not believe I`ll need a cooled rear diff.)

In case someone wonders the side (for the CV Shaft) seal part number is: AL3Z-4B416-A and the plug is 5R3Z-7860108-AA

Post COVID era is hard... I do stumble into missing parts every 5 minutes, FFR does not even answer my emails, I`m missing bolts, nuts, a.o. that`s really annoying it almost takes the fun out of it!
Does anyone knows what is the part number of the steering bearing flange?? I`m about to purchase it in the market instead of waiting forever from FFR...

Well, can't guarantee it, but "10577 pillow block, 3/4" id" brings up this from Grainger, which does look familiar. Good luck with the POL, that makes a complex puzzle even tougher!

Aluminum Panels (passenger foot side)
Since I stalled a bit in the suspension part, I`m trying not to stop completely, so I moved into the passenger side panels. lot`s of fun drilling. To be honest I believed it would take me more time.

Someone said here that you cannot have too many Cleco`s, and he is right, never used almost all 200 I have at one time!!!

I painted them last night but the cold weather does not help much in drying, so I probably will re install the panels tonight...

ADI, I was reading through your build and it's looking really good so far. You did a great job on "the skins" and it's all coming together nicely! As for the POL's, I hope that works it self out as soon as it can for you and everyone else too. Keep plugging away with what and where you can. And all the best to on your journey and I'll be following along... Nice work!

Thanks Doug.
Some more progress last night, I installed and riveted all the passenger side panels, left the inner side not painted so the auto adhesive from the heatshield (I ended purchasing it from Breeze) will better adhere to it.

Does anyone knows why I can`t edit anything on my profile, nor create albums in order to embed the pictures on the thread???

Good tip on the inner skins! I'll make sure to do the same with mine too. I wasn't sure if sharkhide would hinder adhesion, but makes sense to just skip it on the inner side.
As for full access it'a 20 post minimum, but since you're clearly building, contact David Hodgkins with a PM or email message and he can elevate your privileges.

I`m painting the aluminum panels with Bed Liner and in my first panel I did not like the paint adhesion so much, so I`m sanding it down before painting and it did improve a lot the adhesion, I`m using a grade 50 sand paper on a sander.
You can see the difference (the right one was sanded)

I'd love to see a close up of your mounting bolts. I too have a CF dash coming and have been wondering how to make it removable and look finished. I like the riv-nut idea and the under braces too. What screws did you use? Looks like black anodized capscrews.
thanks in advance,
Ted

Ted, I used M5 x 15 - 6 on top and 4 on the bottom - Allen cap screws (black anodized) Not sure how long they will last, but it`s a $2.00 fix and 5 min...

Tks Steve.
Bought from the parts farm in GA, it belongs to a 2020 Mustang with very low mileage it is really looking good... I`ll just change oil pan and should go right into the the car as is.

Funny answer.. I was looking around and definitively not liking the "out of the box" options,
Then I found these guys here:
https://billetautomotivebuttons.com/
Liked the variety of designs and a fare price. After I completed my purchase I found out that the store is in Australia!
I wrote an e-mail on Saturday night about the missing high beam light and Nelson wrote me back on Sunday with a tracking number and a lot of apologies..
If you can zoom into the horn button...

Engine Wiring / ECM
Decided to skip the Ford Performance pack for the Coyote Gen 3 and went back to my roots.
Just ordered a Fueltech FT550
https://www.fueltech.net/products/ft550-efi-system
Slightly cheaper than the Ford Pack and with the huge advantage of endless programing options...
Will start wiring it next weekend.

My son and I were looking at the Fueltech for the Gen3 Coyote engine. Do you think it will work with the injection system of the Gen3?

I`ve build many rally race cars using FT since they began back in Brazil, I`m confident it will work and I`ll post my progress here.
The reason I went with the FT550 is because it handles the gas pedal by wire.
