What did you do for your Terminator today?

I put a ford racing cover on my last straight axle gt and fought with it always weeping on the garage floor. I figured if this one isn't leaking why mess with it. If running a brace is good enough for jimmy sidecarr, it's good enough for me. Do you have a picture of the cover that broke with a brace? The brace is beefier than i thought it would be.

undecided on the f100 right now. i know i'll be doing the crown vic front end swap and flipping the rear axle to get the stance more appropriate for a sport truck. for powertrain, i'm not sure if i'm going to use the 351w block i have to build a 408 or build a big stroker 460. then again, i could keep the 4.6 and build it up for a twin turbo mill.
gonna paint it something like DSG. it's a flare side, so i'm kinda limited on rear tire without hacking up the fenders.
Wow, just when I was feeling good about my car you had to post this. Thanks! LOL. I revert to my Jimmy sidecarr comment
The brace is better than nothing. But since you had it out, that would have been the time to upgrade. Just make sure you run a stickier tire to help prevent wheel hop.
I run drag radials and never feel wheel hop. If I have to replace the cover and sell the brace in a year or two I'm ok with that. Cars without rust are so easy to work on, its almost cheating.
Got her from the shipping company, registered and cleaned up. Definitely the only terminator in Sicily possibly Italy.

Went on a short trip and picked up about 30 gallons of ethanol. Broke my damn tester. Ordered another one, so I'll wait and test it. A few weeks ago it was 74%, so I'm guessing it's higher now. The summer blend is almost here.
Got car inspected, owner of the shop ask me did I get pass car has no cats? I just laugh, guy was cool not to fail it based on visual inspection.
i'm really glad we don't have emissions testing or inspections here, because nothing i've owned in the last 10 years would pass LOL.
as for my terminator, today i started the car for the first time in a couple months. it's damn loud with the catback removed
installed the new shift knob.
checked my intercooler pump and found out that it's bad, so gotta order up one of those
hope to get my rear gears set up in the next few days. then it'll be on to putting in the new rear wheel bearings. after i get it all back together and recover from all of this, i'm going to put in new cross axis joints just so i know everything in the irs is new. wouldn't hurt to get some new sway bar end links and toe bars soon either.

HAHA looks good. I told my self I would never do it again after my first cobra. But then after selling that car and getting another one I had to have the polished exhaust again!Polished the catback. Took a solid 7 hour by hand and I think I lost like 20 pounds in the process, lol. Never again!
