Something completely new... A Crown Vic complete...

Well after some time of riding with an axle flip over stock springs I decided to go with a 4 link setup. The axle flip was riding like two fat girls in the back of a cadillac...

Re: Which rearend for CV swap on 62 uni

Things I have learned on my swap in progress...

03+ Crown Vic is way to wide....
I put my 9 inch back in and used 2 inch adapters that gave me a width of 65" Hub face to Hub face.

I also found out an axle flip lowering drops the back like 6 inches

Off topic...

In the middle of my Crown Vic swap into a 64 F100.

Have you finished you steering yet? If so what did you do...? I bought a CPP column and going to go from there.

Re: New brake lines to dual MC

CPP also makes some nice setups if you need The Master and valve combo... They also carry the 61-64 Disk brake setup for the straight axle. :2cents:

Re: 'flat' paint jobs - opinions/thoughts wanted

I sprayed this hot rod flatz at the house... Easy to lay down. Don't buy the hot rod flatz pearls or metallics they stripe really bad. If I could do it over again I would have took the base flat clear route. http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h197/cwindsor2003/20130720_130822_zpse3859661.jpg http://i...

Not to be a troll... BUT.... :cussing:

Why didn't he put a dual MC on the truck and at least front disc brakes?

Also why not vacuum the carpet...?

It's just the little things...
