          Heat gun and a plastic razor blade. Don't get the paint too hot, or you will mar it.

          Congratulations, Brian. Looks like a swell car, and I also agree that the 17" LS wheels would look nice on there. I like those wheels.

                Sweet ride!!

                And it's your car, you paid for it, do what you want!

                Me:

                Needs factory foglights instead of those block off's in the bumpers

                Needs wheels and blackwalls, personally I always though an upscale car like
                a GM would look great with police steelies and dog dishes. But any Ford factory
                wheels will do.

                As for that dealer crap, if a fingernail won't get it. That stuff they use to peal
                fake woodgrain off wagons sure will. Comes in a spay can and you can get it at
                any parts store.

                Still, nice car whatever you do!!

                    DAMN I LOVE THIS CAR!!! Whoever said wanting is not as good as having, never had a Panther!!

                    First of all, add a Crown Vic Police interceptor type dual exhaust @$350 or so, and a full sized spare and ditch the donut, put tine and a catback dual exhaust for a clean 15+ hp addition, then do that other stuff later.

                    I love them too!! Welcome to the club with the last of them.

                    Very very last of the full size, BOF, RWD big V8 cars!!! Safe, well built, durable, good looking, greast riding, roomy, huge trunk, room in the back seat for 3 kids and even room for them to fight!


                    For better low end grunt, ditch the 2.73 and put in the 3.27 like the Interceptors have.

                    You take care of it and it will run forever !

                      Well the bank fucked up on the loan. I may have to give it back as I will not have an ADJUSTABLE RATE LOAN!!!!

                      I'll know more after a long chat with them...

                          fixed rate FTMFW! adjustable rate means they can (and will) jack up the rate later.

                            I have NEVER hear of or seen an adjustable rate car loan before. Ever. Only mortgages.

                            BTW more pics coming and a vid is in the works, stay tuned!

                              3.27's? Screw that, go with 3.73's! I had 3.27's in my 97 and it was barely noticable from a car with 2.73's, not worth the money. If your gonna drop that much money on a new ring and pinion go with 3.73's, wont even get barely any less mpg out of it.

                                Not changing anything on the drivetrain for a while. The bank problem turned out to be no problem, I do have a fixed rate.

                                First up is the Audio System. That thing is in dire need of help.
                                Second is the wheels, Third is tint, Fourth is exhaust. The rest will wait until the warranty expires.

                                Now I need to find a job to pay for all this...
