Sleipnir's FURD BURD Bigfoot thread: Oh chit we have proof of life!

well last thing for the day yesterday. Taped, sanded, painted and cleared all in a few hours. Gotta love duplicolor drying so fast and then I let the grille cure over night and turned out awesome. Couple heavy spots on the clear because I'm not as good as a painter and my wife who painted this sucker black for me. I really like how the badge turned out too

Morning Tyler,

that looks really clean.

 

Morning Matt. How goes it?

Thanks! I was told by multiple shops it wasn't worth fixing aka they didn't want to do it. So I said f it and got it out of the attic and my wife and I started a project

 

That’s awesome, going phenomenal about to clock out for my weekend and do nothing might clean up some more underhood wiring tomorrow.

 

Nice dude. Wish my weekend started today but I still got one more any good progress on underhood wiring? Makes me want to wire tuck the whole engine bay

 

Well took out three ditch lights and moved the wires for the rear bumper lights I’m gonna try to tidy up the cables on the battery.

 

Very cool. Sound like a project I need to do myself but won't happen anytime soon

You guys get any reported cases in your area yet?

 

Ya last I heard was 35-37 in bell county with one elderly woman passing due to it. It’s very unfortunate, how about y’all?

 

Last I checked we had about 17 cases confirmed and no deaths. Most have been community spread like at the HEB. They had someone on the 19th that was infected in the store but I wasn't there thankfully

 

Also have a surprise coming Monday

 

Terrible, we’ve been taking serious steps to prevent the wife being infected she’s using a welding mask at work since it’s got a resperaitor on it.

 

Well surprise came early I absolutely love the way these headlights look with that grille and now the truck needs white mirror caps, door handles and tailgate handle and some black FX4 taillights to complete the look. Then all I need to do is lower it and throw some nice 22's on it

I ended up trading a buddy in Florida for my bilinvic headlights and we each just paid shipping one way. Had to buff and cut these but knew that coming in. Turned out great but the driver's side could use another cut and buff. Maybe a project for another day.

Funny thing to is when I bought the bilinvic ones the guy sent me a pair of diode dynamic 6k bulbs for OEM HIDs that I thought I'd never use. Well good thing I don't throw stuff away.

Old look:



New look:



Driver side has the new bulb and passenger had the old ones in it. They were definitely worn out but wasn't worried because of the new set:

 

@ThatOneGator @samiam

 

Looking good.

 

This is definitely one of the coolest F-150s I've seen. Loving the build!

 

Very nice Tyler !!

 

Scored some bilinvic heads? Huge win. Looks great!

 

Thanks

Feel free to hang around and start some BS

Much appreciated! It wasnt supposed to get a beast of a motor but here we are I'll be doing little things here and there until I save up for a Vas Performance 3/5 kit and some dope 22's

Feel free to stick around and BS

Thanks Matt! I am absolutely in love with these new headlights

Between the grille and the headlights it's a new truck. Just need some FX4 taillights to get the chrome out

 

Actually traded the bilinvic headlights for some black housing OEM HIDs

Always liked the look of them and got those for a steal. The OEMs can go upwards of $800-$1200 depending on the condition

 

Morning Tyler how’s it going?
