Nothing too glamourous. Just Mrs. i.e.427 and I moving projects around the shop. #factoryfive #fordcoyote #fordmotorsport #fordracing #shelbycobra #factoryfiveracing #Type65Coupe #DaytonaCoupe

When is it no longer the prototype? Well, that's the name of this one. If you've watched this one from the beginning you'll know how it got it's name. And names are always capitalized. So "The Prototype" is always going to be a prototype. This time around we blow off all the dust and start the detail process for this car. It really turned out beautiful! #factoryfive #fordcoyote #fordmotorsport #fordracing #mickeythompsontires #shelbycobra #factoryfiveracing Copyright free music intro: Infraction by Vladimir Ershov

We go down the list of upcoming new project for the shop, new and existing product we make for sale and a year end wrap up for the shop. #factoryfive #fordcoyote #fordmotorsport #fordracing #mickeythompsontires #shelbycobra #factoryfiveracing Copyright free music intro: Infraction by Vladimir Ershov

This week we dive back into the wiper system to trouble shoot what went wrong and why our wipers won't park. Then, on to the wheels and installing the center caps after we tidy up everything inside the fender wells. We finish things off under the car, nut and bolting everything we can, one last time before this thing hits the road. Here is a link to the fix for the contact switch on the motor housing: https://www.ffcars.com/threads/ffr-lucas-windshield-wiper-motor-self-park-issue-solved.418306/ #factoryfive #fordcoyote #fordracing #mickeythompsontires #shelbycobra #fordmotorsport #factoryfiveracing Copyright free music intro: Infraction by Vladimir Ershov

You all know how much I love installing the Lucas style wipers on these cars. Well, this time, all the bitching, moaning and complaining catches up with me.............. Again. After a number of previous test of the wipers system during installation................................ This! #factoryfive #fordcoyote #fordracing #mickeythompsontires #shelbycobra #fordmotorsport #factoryfiveracing #fatmat Copyright free music intro: Infraction by Vladimir Ershov

We install a steering pressure valve to be able to adjust the steering assist on our Factory Five Mk4 Prototype. #factoryfive #factoryfiveracing #fordcoyote #fordracing #mickeythompsontires #shelbycobra #fordmotorsport Copyright free music intro: Infraction by Vladimir Ershov

We install our "bolt on" door trim pieces only to find out, the trim pieces need trimming. Uh oh! We move on to access covers for the trunk and driver's footbox and get a few other things done as well. #factoryfive #factoryfiveracing #fordcoyote #fordracing #mickeythompsontires #shelbycobra #fordmotorsport Copyright free music intro: Infraction by Vladimir Ershov

Side-pipes, side louvers, front air dam & mesh screens in all of the front duct openings. #factoryfive #fordcoyote #fordracing #mickeythompsontires #shelbycobra #fordmotorsport Copyright free music intro: Infraction by Vladimir Ershov

This time around, we step back, show a missed step for one of you that asked and finish off the interior instead of what we had previously planned. #factoryfive #fordcoyote #fordracing #mickeythompsontires #shelbycobra #fordmotorsport Copyright free music intro: Infraction by Vladimir Ershov

We dive into the interior and get the majority of it all wrapped uo. Still have a few things left inside but......... #factoryfive #fordcoyote #fordracing #mickeythompsontires #shelbycobra #fordmotorsport Copyright free music intro: Infraction by Vladimir Ershov

We start and finish this one working on our tunnel cover. Padding it and covering it with black vinyl. In-between, we manage to install the windscreen and get it all bolted in. #factoryfive #fordcoyote #fordracing #mickeythompsontires #shelbycobra #fordmotorsport Copyright free music intro: Infraction by Vladimir Ershov

We promised in the last video that we'd show you how to side-step that raw carpet edge on the door sills. Well, here it is. #factoryfive #fordracing #mickeythompsontires #shelbycobra #fordcoyote Copyright free music intro: Infraction by Vladimir Ershov

We dive into the rear fenders of the car in order to get all of the stuff that needs to be completed, taken care of. Rear splash shields, roll bar and the close out panels in both rea fender wells get done. #factoryfive #fordracing #mickeythompsontires #shelbycobra #fordmotorsport #fordcoyote Copyright free music intro: Infraction by Vladimir Ershov

In this weeks video we tackle the trunk. We had to switch gears to come up with a solution since we over-looked the work needed to use the Factory Five supplied trunk struts. After the trunk struts we moved on to the tilt switch for our trunk lights and the license plate light. We finished up with bolting the rear leg of the roll bar to the chassis. #factoryfive #fordracing #mickeythompsontires #shelbycobra #fordmotorsport #fordcoyote Copyright free music intro: Infraction by Vladimir Ershov

We get the Prototype back to the shop and dive right back in to get this thing headed towards the finish line. We start with the license plate light and bracket (link below). Headlights, front marker lights, tail lights, front bumper and rear over-riders get installed. We finish off with the one piece nose aluminum. #factoryfive #fordracing #mickeythompsontires #shelbycobra #fordmotorsport #fordcoyote https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid02BbCfLmrcXfU7Z2SbKYXcVakw1Eqvb9ypaByYc8d8xETRU6cdVcZVLygLDAoPxACcl&id=891650054204648

We start this week with a huge misstep. Trailer ball wasn't connected as we thought it was and BOOM, BANG, CRASH! After that, we headed down to Temecula to have Jeff Miller install our freshly painted body on to the chassis for the Mk4 Prototype. #factoryfive #fordracing #mickeythompsontires #shelbycobra #fordmotorsport #fordcoyote Copyright free music intro: Infraction by Vladimir Ershov

It's time to get our Mk4 Prototype ready for a trip to Miller to get the painted body thrown on the chassis. In this weeks video we get the door latches modded, the hood and trunk hinges. Last thing we get ready is all of the tools we need to take with us to the Bat Cave so we can help Miller get it all put back together. #factoryfive #fordracing #mickeythompsontires #shelbycobra #fordmotorsport #fordcoyote Copyright free music intro: Infraction by Vladimir Ershov
