Knoxville, Tennessee
Vehicles taken apart, understood, and rebuilt with intent.
Because not everything worth saving looks like it.
Foothill is a long-term archive of salvage rebuilds and second chances — trucks, sports cars, motorcycles, and whatever else is mechanically worth the effort. Every part is chosen and logged, not just installed.
Second Chance — Current Flagship
Project Tremor
A 2023 F-150 Tremor, bought at salvage auction in late August 2026, targeted specifically because its collision damage lines up with the Raptor-inspired parts already planned — nothing good gets thrown away.

Latest from the build journal
Both front doors are on
Both new front door shells are hung - two and a half hours for the first, two for the second. One of the old doors got one more job: the kids covered it in marker.
The yoke Ford lists does not match the one that came out
The complete driveshaft ordered on 4 October was the wrong part and never shipped. The slip yoke and U-joint bought to rebuild the original instead are what Ford's catalog lists for this truck, and neither matches what came off it. The question is now with Ford.
The rear brake pistons came out of their bores
With the rear calipers hanging off the axle, both rear pistons came out of their bores. They were cleaned and worked back in. Whether that holds is a bleed away.
