What's up everyone. Some may know me. Most probably don't. I have a few f150s. A Maverick and we just added an ST to the fleet. The wife wanted something she could do hoodrat stuff with our friends with but still be practical.

It was delivered yesterday afternoon and in pieces today.

Plan is to get all the aesthetics squared away before Christmas and then start the performance mods after. Goal is to get it into the 10s before next summer when it's time to trade it in. Will be documenting/vlogging the entire process on my YouTube.

I think if I were tearing it that far down for aesthetic purposes I'd have had an intercooler sitting there alongside it.

Eh hmmmm, there's only one in pieces right now and that's just because the shortblock hasn't showed up yet lol. The maverick is fully assembled. And the platinum makeover is on hold til this one is done

Considering we hadn't had it even 24 hours when that picture was taken and it was a spur of the moment decision to buy it less than 48 hours prior to buying it.. theres absolutely zero way that would be possible lol

Either a tow pig or a used mclaren 570. One will be purchased and the other the explorer will be put towards
