Tyler it was great meeting you in person and awsome to see someone so young with that much knowledge and maturity , it was refreshing. Also congrats on the motor that will be a blast. Now get back to work:D
P.S. your package is on its way |
It looks great Tyler. Nice pick up on the motor.

Tyler,
Not sure how much it would cost to do a mod like below. I believe Hollywood Hot Rods modded some 427 SOHC valve covers for the 5.0 Coyote they put in the Raybestos giveaway car build. http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k1...70d75a2d8f.jpg |

I have liked the raptors since they first came out but only turning 16 the price tag is out of my leauge! :thumbsup: We have some more parts coming but thats whats come in so far! Forgot that we want the power window switches in the console so we have to change out the wiring when we go to kalamazoo in september. Quote:

Working on the rear tubs today. got the under coating off and made a nice clean edge to weld the new tub too.

Nice truck Tyler!
I like those gauges. You probably already posted, but what is your goal for a finish date? |

Our goal is to have it done for sema 2012 |
Tyler,
Lot of understated style in those gauges, the white numbers on the black background is a big part of that IMO. Nice touch incorporating the Ford style 'V8' logo in them too. :thumbsup: |

Nice gauges they'll look great in there.

Scott's hot rod shop mod motor motor mounts came the other day!
http://i1017.photobucket.com/albums/...wmo8/003-9.jpg These mounts look killer! http://i1017.photobucket.com/albums/...wmo8/005-9.jpg Mocked up the 56 dash today to start measuring for the wilwood pedal assembly and see what kind of braces were going to need. Might have to change the firewall a little to get the motor farther back but we will know once we get the motor. http://i1017.photobucket.com/albums/...wmo8/007-5.jpg Welded the driver side tub in today http://i1017.photobucket.com/albums/...wmo8/009-8.jpg |
Those motor mounts do look killer and very heavy duty. Very nice Tyler.

You are just turning 16 right? I have to say, I REALLY like that you are so involved with building cars. And with your dad and grandfather too. Most guys your age don't seem to have much intrest in these old cars. I hope my son takes as much interest as you do. And you do really nice work too! |

I have been around cars my whole life and have been in the shop since I can remember. I have gone from flashlight holder to can you run and get me that wrench to go cut this or grind that. I soak in all the knowledge that I can. Our car buddies even like to ask me things about certain products or cars or anything because they know that I am on the computer and always researching parts and on forums and such and I am really appreciative of that because they trust what I have to say. As for any other young guys getting interested in cars more I have never been a video game guy or watching tv, working on cars is a much better past time or hobby to get into as you will have something to show when your done and be proud to say yeah I did that, while playing video games you'll have nothing to show! |
Well said Tyler.:thumbsup:
|
Tyler, are the 5.0 Coyote mounts the same as the 4.6/5.4 mounts?
|
its great to see you so focused its refreshing,....althought watching tv and video games were not my distractions when I was 16:_paranoid :thumbsup:

http://i1017.photobucket.com/albums/...mo8/004-12.jpg http://i1017.photobucket.com/albums/...mo8/002-10.jpg Going to start making some patterns for the new trunk floor next! :thumbsup: |
Surprise Surprise! Look what came!

Now that's a fine early B-day present...congrats. :thumbsup:
BTW Tyler, what made you choose a '55 to build? |
Congrats on the motor score Tyler. Your project - getting that AME frame/tubs in there - is really shaping up...:thumbsup:

Well, We knew that we wanted it to be a post car so that got rid of the crown vic and victoria ht. Grandpa and i both liked the look of the 55 grille and front end apperance so it was between what trim level we wanted. It really didnt matter which one we choose since it's not going to be anywhere near stock! My major goal for the car is to be clean and subtle so i fell in love with the customline! Here's why, http://i1017.photobucket.com/albums/...ustomline6.jpg We will be doing lots of subtle things such as 56 dash which is the most well known mod people have done to there 55, tuck the bumpers in, shave hood/trunk, ect Quote:
The Motor will require the firewall to be cut out a bit but we were going to smooth it up anyway :thumbsup: |
I can see why that helped you make a decision its a sweet looking ride.
