It will look better which is what I am going for. There are so many other pieces I could be removing to make the end result even nicer but I have to draw a line somewhere and this cannot turn into a "forever" project.Originally posted by Brown_Muscle View Post
The bay will be shiny with extreme gloss chassis black paint!Originally posted by pantera77 View Post
The upper bump stops are painted with some flexible red paint. They are surviving much better than I thought they would. The lower are some aftermarket energy suspension (i believe) bump stops for chevy? I know I had to drill a new alignment hole for the stud. They are nice though!
Indeed. I believe a super shallow 13mm with a built in swivel (or equivalent) would make easier work of it. May have to purchase one to make the reinstall less painful on me.Originally posted by gadget73 View Post
OH and back in December in "My rare and interesting findings" thread I posted about a NOS smooth rear bumper for 79+ Crown Victoria. It was a local pick up sale only in Pittsburgh. I have a buddy that lives there so I gave him a ring and he picked it up for me. He finally had an opportunity to pick it up on his way back to Jersey from a Cross Country run and it is now in my possession!
And after a quick polish:
Now to find the matching front!Last edited by 87gtVIC; 02-22-2016, 07:28 PM.~David~

I see it looks like you need a pitman arm.
Looks damn good I must say. Your frame is also in better condition than my 03 frame, well even though my 03 frame has probably 100k more miles ::Shrug::
Now throw away that torque converter and get something worth giving a damn about. Or just swap er to the manual now and you can hop on board for some good 'ole boat rowing.__________________________________________________

. When you posted it I thought about fighting you for it, since it is a rare and perfect match for my stock one, but if anyone/any car deserves a bumper like that it's yours!

That torque converter will be going away and B&M unit is going into its place for a little time until I am comfortable with how the car drives after the swap then THAT will go as well for a 5 speed.

I see you pulled your motor out with the crane on the side. If I had more room, I would've done that too. Glad to see a bunch more progress on this thing! It's gonna be really good, I just know it!Comment
