And here I come opening up an ancient thread that no one's looked at in years. Once upon a time they used to have bump stops on the steering rack to "prevent" tire scrubbing (aka they kept the wheel a mile from the wheel well far beyond where there'd be any concern about scrubbing). Trick in...

Some of you may have noticed in previous pics I had cut out the top grill to get ram air access to the inlets on the core support. After debating on whether to do aftermarket mesh or alter stock I ultimately decided to glue the stock back in order to keep the theme of the Cobra being a sleeper...

Not an update but something I forgot about. With the truck being a unitized design it seemed like stabilizing whatever is in the bed at any given time is a good idea. That said the Maxzina molle panels are fantastic. I love that I seem to have any tie down point I could possibly need. Also opted...

Took a bit longer to get spray paint looking...ok...than I thought it would but they're done.

Huh. I always thought the medallion caps started in that generation. The more you know.

Interesting. Was the 351M/400M generation still using the faux mag truck caps?

But yeah. These medallions are from the the '92 F150 XL with RWD with a straight six my buddy drove forever. First truck I ever really worked on. Repairs weren't always by the book but it was always a lot of fun.

I got it. Lol. What's an online cruise in without it?

Yep. Ford carried that design from '7(7? Iirc) to last brick body f series in '97. Rwd would have 4 caps with these medallions. 4x4 had 2 caps with medallions in the back and the fronts were open caps to access the locking hubs.

No more or less so than the decals or center caps. What matters is it means something to me and my grandfathers would think it's cool.

Still waiting on a few parts to dry but here's a preview of what I've been working on. Hopefully the others will be done by tomorrow morning.

It still makes me giggle that the Lobo makes 12hp less than my base model. And with the "boy racer" build I'm currently at I'm almost certain I could compensate for lack of awd.

Same to you, sir. And to add insult to injury, last xl, fwd, 250 hp eco.

Thank you, sir. Thanks for having me. I joined early on in my build process to sort of feel around what other people are already doing and get a better idea of what I was looking for out of my truck. I was just as frustrated as the rest of the site with the delays on top of an already long lead...

Always good to get a hat tip from the boss. I appreciate it. Thank you for giving us a vehicle that is this versatile and has this much character all on it's own. It's been a pleasure making my own interpretation and I look forward to doing much more.

This is my '24 XL FWD EB I've named Freddie after my late grandfather who worked at the Dearborn print shop most of his adult life (hence "FR3DD13" on the throwback MI vanity plate). This was my first opportunity to order a car under the Z plan and really wanted to make the build a tribute to...

Definitely including flex joint and defouler. Honestly a bit shocked that there's all the space in the world for a defouler and it doesn't need a J pipe like most modern fwd applications.

Your measurements have honestly been invaluable. Any chance I could ask you to take the measurement from the bottom edge of the outlet flange to the catback flange (see image). I think I might be on to something but need to confirm a few things.

You are a Saint and a scholar, sir.
