Unfortunately the painter I'm using failed to inform me that he was actually on State disability. If I'd known this earlier I would have steered clear of him. But there is no way of getting my money back from him. So I can only hope that it turn out as good as he says. He's done some Painting on it, but he's almost 2 months over due. For the past 2 weeks he's promised me that he is doing jams, but still no progress pics. Recently he's promised to post progress pics on Monday. I'm not holding my breath on it. Probably more like 3 more weeks.:rolleyes:

The UPR K member isn't clearing the stock Oil pan. Maximum Motorsports is sending me a quote on a package deal that will make them exclusive suspension supplier on this build. But I might have to modify the passenger side rear support to clear the stock manifold.

Sounds like a lot of work to do

I will cover this in detail once I've gone through the process with the Coyote swap. I've already done this with my Mach 1 swap. So I'm taking the same approach, but who knows what they throw at me.

Well I did a 98 cobra swap and I had everything on there. Air pump the canisters, fuel tank. But these new cars seem different. I hope it's not a lot of parts to swap over. Can't wait on ur progress
