I should go check on her. The shop is 30 miles away and i am always scraping time so there is a hard spot there. It sucks but it is what it is.

Did they give you a rough estimate (ETA)! I guess you don't want to rush them either! I hope it meets & exceeds your expectations!  Z

They said it would be done around the first of the month. Apparently the longest part of the peocess is waiting for the parts from Ford.

I did research the shop via the local mechs and gearheads. Everyone said that the shop is the best in the area. The area is pretty remote though.

So you are saying in a race the shop would be first AND dead last :P  J/K.  Hope they do a great job and deliver quick.

Sadly, yes. Lols
Always guaranteed a podium spot. Haha

In the meantime i am enjoying the eb f150. One thing i noticed/can make repeat is that when cold the truck falls on its face on the 4-5 shift. Just like you turned the motor off, then it sputters for a second and runs fine. Wierd, truck has less than 3k miles.

Finally got my SHO back. Im not very pleased with the work. There is a quarter sized spot on the hood, under the clear. It looks like a water spot is the best i can describe. I cant get a picture that will show it. Other than that the new paint has a mirror finish.

Now the big one. Im 99% sure this aint right. Its the exact same on both sides. Like the facia needs to come out 1/4". All the gaps besides that are perfect. If anyone with a 15 model year could check theirs and let me know if those gaps at the grille and head light are similar id like to know. Maybe im being too picky. Idk.

Oh and my engine bay was pretty much spotless when the car went in. Now its filthy, the ahop deff didnt cover the engine bay while they worked. Everything is covered in shop dust, bad.

With the size of that gap a small bird may be able to squish through it. Or maybe its good to get some cool air flow in there. Lol

It looks like i might be able to line it up myself. May need to drill the holes, idk. I havent taken it apart yet. Hopfully there is some adjustment room.

Thanks for the pic fix. Im one of those tards that forgets to rotate the phone.

Probably did the wheel alignment by string!  Z

I actually aligned a jeep cherokee with string. I had put a 6.5" lift on it and wanted to see if the string method worked before i took it to a shop. I never took it to a shop. Even with 35" bfg km2 tires it drove straight and the tires wore even. Of course that was a leaf sprung rear. Id never try it with all independent suspention.
