Project: Making the vic look great after it's fast..

[Dave84]

you gonna put a '79 frt bumper on?

[85crownHPP]

I have fordman's old inserts if you need them

[Grand Marquis GT]

Unfortunately, I don't have a 79 bumper

But I do have a nice new chrome bumper without the trim

[DuceAnAHalf]

The wheels he has for it are halibrand style...Like the old AC Cobras.

definately need a decent drop, need t ofind a decent bodyshop to do the cowl. 2" might be a bit much...I'd suggest mocking it up with carbboard first or get someone to P-shop it with accurate measurements.

my cowl is only 2" actually a little small

[88Vic]

That 2" hood on Duce's looks fine, but it's my opinion that you should either paint yours the color of you car or paint the whole hood black. That would look badass.

new vinyl top, get rid of the 82 grille, or at least black out the center, leave the 87 tails. Actually, front and rear clips from an 88-91 would be even better since the stupid bumpers would go away too. never been a big fan of the 79-87 vic front and rear anyway. lower rocker trim left alone but lose the piece on the door itself. body color the windshield trim, and color match the trim around the top to the top. drop the car no more than an inch in front, stock or maybe 1/2" lift in the back to give slight rake but nothing obnoxious. I'd also toss the dash trim for an 88-89 stuff since the early woodgrain is cheesy looking. Yes, I'm aware absolutely none of that is what anyone else would do to thier car, but you did ask for suggestions and I think it would look good.

Been there done that.......Just make it different and you will like it. OK

[88MercWagon]

Has anyone put a good looking spoiler on the back of a box before?

The squarer and closer to the trunk, probably for the better with a box. Nothing big and ricerish...

I wouldn't mind seeing one done Boss 302 style.

[MrMarquis]

I wouldn't mind seeing one done Boss 302 style.

I think something like the new Mustang's low spoilers would look good...Even better if they weren't as round everywhere...



Maybe something like this as well...

[Grand Marquis GT]

Wow thain, I am probably gonna take none of those suggestions, lol...

Of course the hood will be white too, like I said, I want it to look subtile...

[p71towny]

Actually thain and I have the same taste for boxes. Except I'd keep my interior the way it is. If a yard will let me do it, Im willing to trade my 82 parts for 88-91 but my chrome is so mint I doubt I'll find any in better condition.

[murphmobile2]

Yea, I'm all for lowering it a little.
