I think i just had 3 run on sentences in row in the previous post lol.

Hard to type on a cracked iphone.

Yes, the charger will be installed once it gets running and everything is up to par. All I need to purchase is MAF sensor, 3" exhaust all the way back, and 4" intake pipe with silicon connectors.

Not to mention a tuner and another HE

Wished I would had made my own plenum that came directly over top of the intake so it would be exactly in the middle of my charge pipes. When I get more time and money, that may happen.

Hahahahaha. Understood & it looks good. If only I could convince Ford to come out with a 2 tone orange & blue. LOL

They have the best color combo of any team, no doubt.

I like the old school helemts with the "F" on them. I think the last time we wore them was in 2006 against bama in gainesville.

I am also in the works of making my own 4x4 design for the alt bracket. Should be able to make several of these for little to no expense if anyone wants one in stainless.

Also have these factory plenum bolts that are no longer needed. I had to go with shorter ones.

Nobody judges grammar when using the app. I am usually quite good at expressing myself through words...until it comes to using this app on a small iPhone screen.

And what do you mean about the alt bracket? Making your own due the scarcity or some other benefit?

Just the scarcity of them. Would be nice to make one that would mate to your factory one

I know the slits in the lighting help but could be doable
