OK, Its going to be tough for those of us with no build, no golf, nothing...
Please reach into your photo archives and post a few photos of your build, finished cars, dream projects whatever....
This was one of the highlights of my build. Dropping in the Coyote with a good friend and my son. Unforgettable day.

This was a moment of "what have I gotten myself into" midway through rebuilding my wiring harness to hide the wires.

Engine and trans ready to drop in for the first time.

Lizard Skin ceramic and sound damping all sprayed in. At this point mock up was done and everything was going back in for the final time. Kind of over the hill point.

Not long after getting her done I finally got to take this pick I had been waiting for years to take.

So far, Illinois is still "open". We'll see...
Since we're looking at coyote installs, here's one:

Beautifully done interior and seats especially. Have fun with her and be safe....
My new office - working from home. I added a second monitor to connect my work laptop up to, so home computer is left monitor, work stuff is the laptop and monitor on the right.

Two fridges with lots of beer, 3,000 rounds of ammo, a freezer full of beef, and a 17kw generator that runs on natural gas or propane.

Since you mention scoring TP, and then 3,000 rounds, I have to say I'm over the moon with my brand-new-today Springfield Hellcat OSP. After reading many reviews I think I'm going to like my new daily carry. And I scored a couple thousand rounds online. :D

The make the day even sweeter, I finally got my long-running "clutch won't fit inside the bellhousing" issue fixed, with new parts from RAM (free of charge) and a WHOLE lot of help from Mike Forte. I'll post more on the build thread later, but considering what's going on around here nowadays, I'll take this as a good day.

That'll work. I keep this under the bed:

Remington 870 Tactical 12 gauge pump. Mag holds 6 + 1 in the chamber. Don't try to take my beer or TP!

Do you think if we all chipped in that FFR would deliver an F9R to Edward B ? One of his build threads would keep me going for quite a while I heard he was done with his latest build

Nice! My exact next project. Built a GTD40 back in the early nineties and can't wait to have another. What is the equivalent forum for 40's?

I would not have said I was a fan of the “blacked out” look, but DAMN that looks cool. Also jealous of your RCR project.

Here's a definite highlight of my build:

A legendary cast of characters were there for the event, and solved the final wiring gremlin that led to 1st start. I wish I had taken a group shot that day...

Great video. Until the first start it feels like a giant arts and crafts project. When you hear it start, then it’s a car.
Was that the blue car?

Kyle,
Did you sell her? Say it ain’t so. I remember your build. You and I were building about the same time.

Yeah I did and regret it. I just need to start planning now for my next build and have ideas but timing right now is not right until we get of this world crisis we are in.
I believe mine was 8707 so just behind yours in production. Also remember now what you did your Coyote intake. Really like that.

Would be interesting to see a build thread here, or on the other site if not here.
