TC rear doesn't he?


Nope 10" drum brake 7.5" rear with FMS 3.73 gears, Traction-Lok, and a stud girdle diff cover. It was built by a local shop that does diffs for drag cars. I had it done because I couldn't find a Turbo Coupe rear locally. The week after it was finished an auto TC finally turned up at the wreakers:hick:

It looks great but that blue sticks out.


It's just standard Ford blue engine paint. I've noticed that it looks brighter than it really is on a camera, probably because of the flash. It looks good in person and I really like Ford blue:D

Your car is so clean!!! I thought i was obsessive about that! Wanna help me? That is beautiful!!!!! Im jealous.



Oh it's a pain in the ass to keep it that way. To keep a car this clean it can't be a daily driver. As others on here who just use their cars for pleasure/shows can attest (ie Eric) everything has to be clean. Try keeping the wheel wells clean on a daily driven car. You can't. I try to only wash the car once a month. Most of the time I just dust it. When I was swapping the engine out last month the car got rained on for the first time in 2 years:hick: .

Yeah, just keeping my daily driver as clean as it is is a pain.  With good weather, she gets washed every 2 weeks or so if not more.  And I also had my first experience keeping the engine clean...whatta pain!  It's tricky just to brush off the valve covers....

It's a pain at times but it looks nice when the hood is poped :D
