"Vicky"-1987 Ford LTD Crown Victoria

Just got back from Boys State, so nothing has been done on the car. But while I was gone my lightning EGR spacer showed up. Paid a whopping 40 bucks shipped (thank you NLOC). I'm supposed to trade Scott for one that is punched to 70mm, so I am going to get in touch with him about that.

351 here I come!

Well I've pretty much abandoned the idea of an LX interior, because the one I have is really nice, and finding one that is up to my standards are slim to none. So I got creative and found a power window switch thing that utilizes the door cranks as the lever. So it would appear like there was no modification done at all! The downside is it costs 400 dollars for all 4 doors (plus motors) but It would be awesome in the end.

Then I would get a couple switches from autoloc (the same place that supplies the window switches) and put them on the plastic part behind the interior door panel and use them as door lock switches.

Also my wheels are supposed to get here this week

Did you get new lug nuts and a couple sets of locking lugs?

Did you get new lug nuts and a couple sets of locking lugs?

funny story on that one. We had gotten a set of lugs with the wheel. I go to thread them on, and I finally realized that they were the wrong size. They sent me 12mm lugs for a FORD car So I had to go to 3 different parts stores in town before they closed to find a set of lugs and locks.

Anyway, pictures of the massive revamp:
This is with the front end all torn off


We pulled the rears first because we were going to pull the brake drums, sandblast them and put them back on so they wouldn't look like ass, but instead we just painted them attatched.

The wheels mocked up on the car:

The front end FINISHED!

The wheels FINISHED!

Close up of the wheels


I am going to wash this thing tomorrow and take a crapton of beauty shots. My Grandpa is going to flip a shit.

I like it! Amazing what a set of wheels can do. Reminds me when I first installed the bullitts on my car. Stay away from curbs.
