Graduation time! #8907

[cfriedman67]

My journey started back on July 8, 2016 and was finally street legal on October 2022(it took me a while to write this). My original idea was for a used 1997 mustang cobra engine and transmission. The end result was a Gen 3 coyote and a TKO 600 transmission. The original purchase ran but needed far to much money to make it right and i decided to junk it. I chalked it up to a learning experience and realized not to purchase a used engine site unseen without having the knowledge to make it perfect. I wanted to thank all the people who answered all my questions either via the forum, email, text, and phone. I was always and still am amazed that one simple question from me would always elicit so many responses and so quickly. The questions ranged from building, to wiring, engine, to painting, etc... I enjoyed all of it and especially enjoyed the painting and bodywork. I can’t say it’s a perfect paint job, but I love saying built and painted by me.

Some of the components are:

- base kit with upgrades
- coyote gen 3 from Mike Forte
- TKO 600 from Hanlon motor sports
- 3 link rear
- power steering
- Wilwood brakes from Gordon Levy racing
- Vraptorspeedworks wheel well liners
- heater/defroster
- heated seats
- full roll bar from Breeze automotive
- Gas N touring pipes painted black
- Bluetooth hidden stereo
- kirkey upholstered low back seats
- color is Byron Blue from Range Rover with a wide ghost stripe

Thanks again for all the help

Absolutely beautiful. I really like the ghost stripe on the car. Congratulations on the milestone.

Looks tough as nails with the roll bar and black side pipes. Paint looks excellent as well. A real tidy build and certainly an achievement to be proud of.

Congratulations,

Well they’re installed but a little cold in NY for a drive. If anyone needs brakes for there factory five Gordon is amazing to work with from start to finish.
