Look at this fine example of money well spent on the terminator x!

I'm getting really close to firing it up! I just need to get fuel, a vacuum line to the FP regulator, a battery, a timing light, prime the oil, set the distributer in,load my aderson base tune and hope it all goes well. Cheers!

Well I got it running, did a few heat cycles, changed the oil, and today I took it for a little ride! It stalls when coming to a stop and bucks at really low speed so I have some work to do there. I'm happy happy tho!

Your car looks great! I'll bet it sounds pretty good, too!

I was going to suggest you check your float levels, but I was thinking old school again....

Stop thinking, you'll get a headache

I put a few more miles on it yesterday and realized I don't have power brakes lol, the booster looks a bit rusty on the bottom so I assume it's stuck. It held vacuum. I pulled the hose off after it sat for atleast 5 minutes and I could hear the vacuum when I pulled the hose off. I guess it's time to get that cobra booster. Should be fun time.. I wish I could load a video, it sounds great and it's scary af

Spray a little rust converter on it, add a top coat, and you probably won't be able to tell it from a new one.

DeathProof88 · Nov 2, 2024

That wasn't so bad... but I'm waiting for a new boo switch cause I don't want get under there for a long time.. the cage makes it hard as hell to work under the dash

Wonder what the people getting that back as a core would say.

General karthief · Nov 4, 2024

I can see it now.........people running outta the building screaming, swat team, hazardous response team, epa all surrounding the building and sending that little robot thing in to investigate.
Yeah.....I have issues

DeathProof88 · Nov 5, 2024

Funny story, I bought the brakelight switch to have a fresh one in there so I wouldn't have to crawl up under the dash again...well.. the new one didn't work and the ford one is back in there. I'm done with anything in a "Standard" box. I got screwed on my new fuel pressure regulator and now a switch! The brakes feel way better as far as pedal feel, maybe tomorrow I'll be able to test er out

Hey guys, I'm back to work on the car again. I'm working on the torque box reinforcement now. I wanted some more eyes on them to help me out so I don't miss anything.
2 questions.. should I try and get that undercoating stuff off of the uppers before the final installation? And do the lowers look like they need some welding done? There's some separation and a gap between the floorboard and top of the torque box. Cheers guys!
