Looks great!! Now I suppose you'll jack the back end of your car way up so every one behind you can read your differential cover. lol.


If I have to jack it up,to see it,I wont put it on.

I will most likely mount it towards the bottom of the rear end.I have this image in my head what i am going to do,but its hard to explain.

Looks great :D

Are you keeping the drums on the rear?


yes

when I bought this car,I never planned on doing this much to it,money wise and mod wise.I was going to slap some nice wheels and tires on it,new paint and that was it,it has now become a sickness I have :D .............I am sure you can all relate.

Alright,I need a better pic of the cover,and.....a third brake light? On the diff?I'm intrigued.I can't even se my diff cover standing behind the car.I need more input.It sounds like a cool idea.Different (I'm not going to steal the idea.LOL).As far as the quads,I'll also deal with them after the diff. is in.I'm hoping,at the most,I just need some thin spacers (5mm or maybe 7mm).No need for me to think much about it.I can't do anything until the other work is finished anyway.Again,pics of the cover and the plates.


I am going to cut the FORD plate monday or tuesday and I will post some pics.

don't bother to jack it up to see anything under there. All you get is a great view of the gas tank. see..... :D


yep,you dont see much of the cover at all...............lol.



what I would like to do is(if I can explain this correctly)when you put the brake on,the image will shine onto the road,beneathe the cover.

ok, I made the Ford plaque for the rear end and I have to say,it didnt "WOW" me or make me tingle.I think maybe if I would have chose a diff. font,it mite appeal to me better.anyway,these are the pics.

A different font may be better, but it "wows" me the way it is. Nice job!
