So I hope iM not being rude asking, but whats the parts tally? I'm guessing your business did most of the labor.

Thanks!

 

No problem bud, on the transmission? or build all together?

 

appreciate it man! the girl at the gate of Red Creek about had a heart attack when she found out I was putting it in the mud

 

LOL, all of it, in blocks if your memory has it handy.

what do you think of the lift? How does it handle ON road?

Thanks!

 

Mhm let's see how good my memory is, I didn't pick up my Auto Empire sponsorship until a little down the road on the build. I'd estimate I have around 10 grand into it.

I love the lift man, handles great on and off the road, I drive it to Central Florida from New Orleans and back about twice a year. The bilstein struts made a huge difference.

 

I would like some more clearance, but I cannot touch it for 2.8 more years. (Aftermarket Warranty and I wouldn't want to invalidate our terms of aggreement.)

I have an old 94 Bronco that sits pretty good stock, but when I put on a larger tire, not even MUCH larger mind you, I ran into all kinds of issues with shifting. The E4OD did not like the ratios, not one bit. Have you noticed anything like that with the F150 you have modded?

Thanks!

 

I'm running an edge evolution programmer to correct for tire size so the PCM can calibrate the shifts accordingly. I have had no problems with it.

 

Fantastic! I don't have that option with the Old Bronco!

What I am hearing is that I better just lust after trucks like yours, and drive mine, since I cannot afford to do this the proper way!

Thanks!

 

Did a little work on the doors today.... a lot of trial and error. Finally found a layout that clears everything with plenty of space for layers of fiberglass and body filler.

 

Got fleece that matches the panel in case I don't get to finish body work and such, I don't wanna be the guy with the barney fleece under all the resin because it was the cheapest at the store haha.\


Passenger side mirrored off the drivers side




please excuse the mud on the panels lol, still havent had a chance to clean them. Hopefully I'll be almost done with them by Sunday.

 

Got a little bit done today..... waiting until Monday to do the resin



My dad helping out.... He asks me what I'm doing sees it and goes oh boy your mom is gonna kill you, immediately starts helping me haha.

 

If she didn't flip over the lift, wheels, graphics, and everything else, why would she lose it on door speakers?

 

I think some fender flares would look awesome!!!!!

 

She doesn't like the boom boom haha, not too thrilled about the whole "red project" as she calls it.

I've thought about it, I really like the factory fx4 flares. I really wanna get my blow through done first before I mess with anything else though

 

Some more work done on the doors.... hoping to start body work on Sunday and have them playing on low power by next week until my big boy amp comes in.
