I took one. I planned to take more but got too focused on the job. This frame was just one part of the puzzle we were dealing with.

The frame work for a vacuum forming machine. Lots of pieces and parts and assemblies to put together.

This is the project, you can see it in use here (of course fully built with wood frame at top & bottom for the equipment that goes along with it).

Been reading through this thread for inspiration, and to kill time.

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...b-only-27.html

I'm ready to get the tanks in, and get the body straight and painted. Once it looks good, I'll get it ready to pass inspection. I think to make it legally pass the inspection, it'll just take some exhaust work and some wiring for the horn.

I have an appointment for tomorrow morning to get new stainless steel pipes and tips welded on the newish 2013.
But by using my 3 month old Flowmaster from the 2011, and putting it on myself, like I did the last truck, I saved myself almost $175.
So I did get the muffler on the truck this morning.
Sure is nice to hear a little rumble again

Turbo+ muffler is too quiet, I was gonna ditch mine, but it'd be way to loud.

Buying an extended warranty that covers the truck for the next 96K, I can't do a few tings that I'd like to do. First would get that cut out at 97 MPH deleated. Don't ask how I know that the newer 5.0's cut out at 97, but they do. And that Coyote sounds like it has so much left in there, and I can't get to it.

Not that I'd know, but I hear that 2011 5.0 work truck does the same thing.

That Coyote runs nice! I was without my truck for less than a month, and I hated it.

My weekend will be spent welding a new lower control arm bracket under the jeep. I finally got the top one right, and he destroyed the bottom.

I think my doing is done for the day, but I've accomplished quite a bit. I have my exhaust on the truck with new stainless pipes, and new polished tips. New vent shades, and put a gold pin stripe to break everything up a bit.
Now to find a pair of Ford Chrome step tubes.
