Thanks, unfortunately with the loose suspension setting, it rubbed and ribbed a nice peel off the new tire as I was pulling out of my driveway. I'm thinking of powder coating my drag pack black and keeping these full polish.
What did you do for your Terminator today?

Is the drag pack polished?
Get four 55gallon black trash bags and slice a side open. They fit over the whole wheel/tire so it won't get wet when you wash. I've polished mine once at purchase and just wipe them down occasionally.
The drag pack is currently polished, you can see the rears in the garage picture towards the rear of the car on the wall. I really don't drive it enough to wash it like that anyway, maybe a couple hundred street miles a year. Honestly, I don't even know why I wasted money on the 18's.
Do you run the same DR on the drag pack or a real slick?
I chopped the springs 1/2 coil, added the caster camber plates, and changed the oil. The 1/2 a coil dropped the car about 3/4". The cars still up there but I think I'm happy with it. I think it'll be a good combination of looks and ground clearance.
My Dad asked me to help him with his cars he has in storage. So, I drove my Cobra to his house. Then we went to the storage area to start these two cars up.
Thanks!
Took her to the shop getting ready to do a complete rear end rebuilt, swap back in the Ford racing 3:55s install a new True-Trac diff, also dropped the tranny for the 4th time and hopefully last time in a while! Iam having my RXT sent back to McLeod for a rebuilt.
Did you go with the Hotchkis caster camber plates? If so how do you like them? Do you have a picture of them installed?
Looks good Will. I hope you get everything worked out.
Fiddled with the lethal pprv delete for about the 15th time. I regret doing this "mod" so much. Lines tearing and hoses popping off. I've been blessed the feed line hasnt let me down completely

Thanks Paul! i really wanted to try that Mantic clutch but just cant afford to at the moment, my buddy is helping me out so he talked me into doing the rear end as well.
McLeod is doing the rebuild for a lot cheaper, if this does not work out i will definitely switch.
Put a Fore hat in there and be done with it.

I ended up canceling my order and going BBK.
I ordered the Hotchkis from Jegs website with an estimated ship date of 1/29/18. When I got their confirmation from Jegs it said there was no estimated shipping date. I decided to call Hotchkis and find out if they were still making the plates and when I could expect them. The guy at Hotchkis found my order with Jegs and said they had all the parts in stock to assemble a kit and would get a kit assembled that week and shipped out. 2+ weeks went by and I got pissed that they had the stuff to assemble a kit but chose not to so I canceled the order.
I had a $100 gift card from Christmas to American Muscle so I chose the BBK setup. They're 3 bolt so no drilling, they look pretty, and they have bushings instead of bearings. I attached a crappy cell phone pic.
