Those fender support bars sure are beefy.

Nice!
Glad I could help you learn about a few cheap factory upgrades that are available. Stay Tuned, because I have more coming.
You guys did a great job making those Fender Braces. Definitely
on that!
Did you have to Drill/Tap your DS Bulkhead to make those Towncar Frame Braces fit, or did they bolt right on the DS?Comment

Yea, any more secrets would be appreciated !!! lol
But no, they didnt bolt right on, i wish lol, but I just ovaled out the bolt holes on the brace thing, then i just had to start threading in the bolt.
But today, i went to the junkyard to pull an engine, and my uncle just happend to catch a glimpse of a '85 CV in a sea of cars getting ready to come out. Turns out it was a PI CV.
So we snuck in the back lot and snatched the rear-sway bar, and when it comes out, im going to get the 140 Speedo, is there anything else i should get ???
But here are some pics, ill get more tomorrow when its on. enjoy.Attached Files---1990 Lincon LSC., 5.0 H.O., 55,000 ORIG. miles, 3:73 Posi, Bullit rims, 3G alt., 2.5" full-back exhaust, Mark 8 elec. fan, Flowmaster mufflers. My DD

Did it have gauges above the glove box? If so i would take the bezel where the gauges would sit.

Oh no, if it did, those would have been snatched immediatley lolOriginally posted by 87gtVIC View PostDid it have gauges above the glove box? If so i would take the bezel where the gauges would sit.
But, got the Rear-sway bar installed today. It made a HUGE difference in handling. I didnt think that bar would make such a difference. I can turn corners going around 20-30 mph and it has almost no body roll, its amazing lol.
Then, right when i pulled into my dads work, the water pump started to leak like crazy, so we got that replaced.
Then when we replaced the water pump, we decided to put a mark 8 elec. fan on it. It turned out pretty good, it moves ALOT more air than the factory, its just a little too small for the radiator, but it moves so much air i dont think it matters.
oh, i also painted the fender braces.

It's amazing how much difference a PI RSB makes in the handling on one of these cars. Now you need to install the PI FSB to even things out.
Keep up the great work guys.
