If I ever win the lottery I'm going to dedicate 1 year of my life to being like RRRCobraSC281 and building one of the cleanest coyote swap foxbodys ever. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

After cutting the hole in the hood and started looking at the CDC Shaker kit, I realized that I'm using the fox/SN95 washer fluid bottle and will not be able to use the stock air box. Will have to go with a conical filter and a smog approved intake pipe.
I was on the fence on it anyways. And after seeing pics of the shaker on coyote engine bay you really don't see much of what identifies a coyote engine. So a friend dropped his hood to have done the same way for his Mach swap notch. Looks like everything is going to work out.
Engine bay is almost done sanding. Just a few spots left. Friday I'll be heading to the painters to have them pick up my car.

Waiting on a painter to pick up the car. Been ready since Wednesday. Going to have 90GTSleeper paint the car.
The original guy that I was going to paint the car got an unexpected delivery of trucks to repair and paint so he's booked.
Was going to give BMC of San Leandro a call if 90GTSleeper don't follow through. They actually have their shit together and do really nice work. Painted the new bumper on my 300c.
Made some last minute changes.
After putting the front suspension on and the wheel, I wanted to see how much clearance I had at full compression of the springs and the steering wheel turned to the left all the way. Well before I got to about 1 1/2" to the fender lip it hit the inner apron that I extended. I was gonna leave it, and put a shim on the steering rack to limit the amount that I could turn to the left Then I thought about turning left into an incline and the wheel rubbing will drive me nuts, so I placed the brake booster back in to see how much clearance I had and decided that it would be best to make clearance for the wheel and will used some Gorilla tape to keep road grime from going into the engine compartment and remove it during shows. With the brake booster in, wheel turned all the way to the left and springs fully compressed to where it touches the fender lip, it barely touches the brake booster.

It's been awhile since that last update, and not much has been relayed to me as far as progress until today. Finally got first coat of primer in the engine bay. And the ETA was said by the painter "March 30th +/- a couple days". ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif) Only time will tell.
I thought I was getting the car last weekend, but that obviously isn't happening. And with the final date somewhat revised and sort of set in stone, I've decided to work on the little things like refirbishing the side view mirrors and the rear tail light housing for a spare set. Probably freshen up the quarter windows while i'm at it.
Here's the products I'm using.
After giving them a scrub down, and 1 set was almost thrown away it was so hidious. But with some 80 grit and a lot of time, I was able to sand the ugly out of it.
1st coat of primer
Now after their 1st wet sand, they are ready for a final coat of primer

Is the painter not holding up on his end? He has a bunch of reviews I think In the vendor section.

I can sympathize with him in a way. Because to keep doing it at a high level day in and day out, your body will shut down. I know I did. Once the car was off to paint I was going to work on the 93 Mustang and rebuild the tranny... Well I really didn't do shit for an entire week.
The other guy was going to have it done in a week but that's working on it everyday and with 2 people. He said 2 week was doable, but there was some details that needed taken care of and that may have slowed things down, but I estimated 3 weeks, but now were are aproaching 4 and we now have primer in the engine compartment.
With painter's, it's gonna take as long as it's gonna take. Just how it is.

How viscous the primer will influence the nozzle size of the gun you will be using. Probably going to use a 2 part primer. Put it through the gun and adjust with reducers and nozzle settings. Try it on a practice piece and see how it flows. I've painted small parts for 6 years and used a detail gun, but also used quart gun for doing Saleen ground effects back in the days.

So you're trying to get this for the Fabulous Fords show? Hope you get it painted soon because you got a lot of work ahead.

When I get it from paint I will go as hard as I can, but if it don't make it to the show, then there's aways another car show. I'm not gonna cut corners to make it, that's for sure.
Just need it to run, brakes/headlights/tailights working and driver seat with seat belt. The interior and striping can wait.

Nice build. Attention to detail is impressive. On page 3 you showed the dash panel mocked up as the vin plate held it up higher. You get that handled? Curious to see how that looks now.

It's come down a bit, but there is going to be a lot of hope that the black out on the window will make it look right. And I'm hoping that I cut it back enough that the window will set properly.
Crossing my fingers.

When I got there they were working on a laser red vert. But what I hear I'm not the only one waiting on their cars to be done. Hopefully the finish product is worth all the hype and wait.
