Congrats on getting it running, that's a really neat project.

Sean, is the vibration gone?
Your thrashing has paid off, and you accomplished an incredible amount of work in a very short time. My hats off to you sir!

Nice work!! Congrats on the extended test drive. Hopefully the vibration issue is cleared up as well.

I like the console, I see you decided to put the cup holders in front of the hifter, smart man! Good luck with the fine tuning...and the trip to Thunderhill. You've earned it.

Awesome. Glad to hear you finally was able to drive it with no engine issues. Truck turned out great, congrats!

BTW, When I bought my f150 fx4 with 5.0 a few years ago, I had to do a double check when I read the oil pan holds 7.7qts.

Congratulation's getting it all together and running. You did a great job. I hope you make your deadline .

Nice shakedown, 75 miles without major issue is dang good.......so, will it do 130mph in 4th?

Good work Sean! I'll see you next week.

:thumbsup:

I like your CAD skills!
CAD = Cardboard Added Design.

You sir do some nice work! You're very inspiring.

Thanks guys, Appreciate the kind words.

Not sure about 130 in 4th gear :popcorn2:

Well, I had a pretty successful day yesterday. I was hearing a lot of noise from the passenger front wheel though when coming to a stop. I got home and jacked up that corner and looked things over. I found that I had overlooked a pretty hammered lower ball joint and a wasted wheel hub. So, parts got ordered and then this commenced last night.

I also got the opportunity as written above to hammer on the brakes a few times. Nothing broke =) Stops the truck pretty damn good. Also drove it this morning and the brake noise on the passenger side is all gone.

Had to do a bunch of other stuff today, a little emergency car rescue with the trailer for a buddy and some clean up around the house.

I pulled the passenger seat out and finally got around to putting the seatbelt on that side as well. I had found some paint for the brackets that I wanted to try, its satin dark walnut and Ill be damned if its not almost an exact match to the seat material. I was super happy with how that whole seat, seat bracket and seat belt turned out.

I also spent the time to build the brackets to hold the door switches and got those all wired up to the revolution electronics module for the soft on, delay, soft off. Got the under dash lights all installed and wired up as well.

I really dig the interior, its super clean and functional.

Took it over to the scales to see what I was working with. Full tank of gas in it and its right at 3500 lbs. Not too bad.

Gotta try and figure out the vibration tomorrow, get a better alignment on the old girl and work on the car trailer. 4 days to go till I gotta head to California.

can't wait to see it at Thunderhill.
