PICTAFIEDESIGN F150 Luxury Centermount Build

[Pictafiedesign]

I was just gonna say that brake pedal probably gonna flex the mount ... but you said you reinforced it more. I was surprised how much I was flexing shit with even my hand brake. Made me feel buff watching a 3/16 tab flexing. lol

Wonder if prerunner farm make those with different sizes? like a 10/8. If they don't they should.

Oh yeah it got a few more plates attached afterward. I'll have to take some more pics of it lol. Funny you say that I just remade my handbrake/Shifter plate to be 3/16 and it gets bolted down in 4 corners fucker doesn't move now.

They make all sorts of them! Pretty trick.

It’s off to powder, should be back in 2 weeks or so. Was nice to get it outside again. Everything is going gloss black and the accent color will be shocker yellow

 

[Pictafiedesign]

Well it’s blasted… if you’re curious dynamat melts at a very low melting point…. Going to a burn off oven then should be getting finished up shortly!

Woah that's gnarly. Should have used 4130 for everything and then it could be heat treated!

Awesome getting it all powdercoated. Hope you didn't forget anything and gotta weld to it.

I've seen that stuff drip from the roof of people's trucks just sitting in the sun in AZ

Yeah but that shit melts at like 150 degree's

 

[Pictafiedesign]

Yeah it melted at a very low heat. Learned a lesson there it’s essentially just butyl.

In other news the suspension parts are done. Time to start assembly on those. Missing a trailing arm… got excited and put that in the truck first before taking pics.

It’s back and it looks like a stealth fighter!

Thanks man! Time to get this fucker rollin

 

[Pictafiedesign]

Started putting shit together.

I hate safety wire with a passion.

Decent update! Got some real tires now. Ended up snagging some Toyo MTRs.

Installed the fuel pumps, batteries and accusump.


Also snagged new doors with no dents. Kind of dig the metallic grey but, that will change soon. Doors have power windows so I’ll be wiring those in! Had to cut the map pockets to clear the lower sill inside the cab. Plan on making an aluminum close out panel for the bottom.


Got all the new CBR coolers mounted in the rear as well as the GG Lighting rear facing light bar.

Did some SpaceX shit for the firewall and mounted the power steering resivoirs and inline coolers.

Need to prep for interior sound deader and heat insulation. Going to be using lizard skin spray in application.

Thanks man! Original plan was the 8th next month. A few things happened at Powdercoat that delayed it a couple weeks. Hoping I can get it moving under its own power by then
