I haven't posted in a while. It's hard to have a blog that is about a specific serial-numbered car when you don't have it anymore. I've decided to keep going on the blog, even though I no longer own #1998. My goal is to keep updating daily for a few weeks to catch up with the current state. As a preview, the Coyote was rebuilt, the new chassis has a cut firewall, and new shocks were installed. I also sold a bunch of parts to keep going with the build, knowing that it will only get me so far. However, I can do a lot with what I currently have. The new chassis doesn't need body work like the last one did.
The new chassis needs a fuel filler door since I have all late-Ford-era parts, not to mention the safety of the whole thing.
I cut the driver's side gill area, slowly cutting just the minimum. I decided on an aircraft-style filler, black anodized to blend into the gill better.
The new aircraft style fuel filler had screws that were clocked to orient the filler tab back, as this seemed to look the best.
Finished product, but not completely installed.
