Ah yes the good old pool table table!
Nice progress, always a big one to get the engine installed. Now on to get it running!

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.
Next on the list, passenger seat, finish off the upper hose, need a little rubber pad to keep it from rattling. AC plumbing, tools for that will be here on Monday. Body fitment and the start of body work. Here are some current pics
Clutch pedal stop- Once I installed it and tested it, I was surprised how short the travel is, car starts clutch works as expected
Some other pics
Shift lever is temporary
Awesome Paul,
Congrats on the first go kart. Are you doing the body work yourself?
