Does anyone know which is better for aluminum panels? I want the interior panels of my build black and there are arguments for both.

Thanks George. The original side plates had about a half inch bend at the bottom. I just got a piece of stock aluminum and riveted it. You can see the bend in the picture below.

Ebay, they have everything!

Got her off the jack stands for the first time ever. I now have a working rolling chassis.

This is real now!!!

Thanks!!!

The shocks came and I installed them this morning. I’m going to take it off of the jack stands as soon as I get the motor on an engine stand because it’s in the way. But I have a rolling chassis! 9 months and I’m actually further along than I thought I’d be at this point!

Bob = Genius They are in fact M10 x 1.5 Thanks Bob!!!

Thanks Bob. I tried an SAE 5/16 bolt and it actually fit. So one of two things happened here. 1) the M10 bolt I bought is a 1.25 and it needs the 1.5 thread OR... 2) someone tapped out the M10 metric thread for a SAE. I can’t for the life of me understand why anyone would tap a 2015 motor...

With the front end complete minus the shocks (I had to save my money for those), I moved on to the shift mechanism. Researching on this site, I bought a Toyota shifter and made the mount to raise it off of the deck with a piece of extruded square aluminum. It’s not fancy, but I made it myself!

The next part of the cooling system was to buy some aluminum tubes and rubber elbows to complete the front cooling section. I also added some radiator fans. I made the bracket for the fans from aluminum angle stock.

Next was to move onto the cooling system. I did a lot of research and a lot of measuring and I found a radiator from OPL that was the right size had the right connections and I bought it. After installing the radiator I thought that it might make sense to add a bottom plate to the cooling area...

Next was making a bracket for the fluid reservoir’s and installing the master cylinders and clutch master cylinder. I bought all new Wilwood master cylinders and pedals, the chassis was designed for these so they’re pretty much plug-and-play.

Next was adding the steering rack and the front sway bar. The sway bar was trial and error. I thought I could mount it horizontally but it needed to be mounted vertically because it wouldn’t have worked properly (what this means is the hump on the bar couldn’t be mounted to the firewall, it had...

The first job was to clean up the suspension, paint the calipers and add new disks.

If you don’t know the bolt sizes, that’s ok. I do have a question tho. The M10 starts for a turn or two and gets very tight. I guess if I keep tightening it, it would POSSIBLY work, but I’ve broken too many bolts to force a bolt in a thread. So I picked up some M8’s in hopes that they would...

Does anyone know what size bolts you need to bolt the motor mounts to the block? I’ve been looking everywhere and can’t find any info.. Much appreciated! Steve

Yeah, probably best to stay away, Thanks

Hi Everyone, Let me start at the beginning. This all got started when I decided to build a car. I’ve restored a bunch of cars over my life and I didn’t want to get into a rustbucket, I wanted start another project from scratch. So I started researching the internet and I found “kit cars”. I...

Does anyone know if anyone sells old school style valve covers for the coyote engine? Something like these?
