FatNasty's 1984 Grand Marquis GS

[Mr. Land Yacht]

I'm still thinking of doing the sequential tail lights as well...lemme know how it works out for ya.

Isn't it, though? It was right alongside some Rochesters (2v and 4v), Holleys, and AFBs.

I saw a used Motorcraft Variable-Venturi carburetor at a speed shop today ......

That is a total oxymoron.

Whats keeping you from doing the sequential tails???

Guess i'l look into doing that next, should be pretty easy.

Hope to do engine mods in the next year or so, i'm just figuring out stuff about cars as i go, and working up to the major stuff. I am going to go carbed as long as i can get as good or better mileage than i do now (15.5 city/18 highway). no clue what else exactly i'm doing engine wise though.

what is it with the 83-87 tail lights?
they always like to sag a little...
your left light looks nice and level, but the right one is sagging a little...Bobert's tail lights did the same thing..but both of his sagged.
hmm..what gives?

I think it could also be the gummy weatherstripping stuff that seals the front and back pieces of the light assembly together. I might see if i can find some of that stuff. Any clue what that stuff is called? I think i remember pete having some once.

Thanks for all the comments!

Damn, that thing just keeps getting better and better. When do you plan on doing engine mods? That thing's gonna be real badass when it runs as good as it looks.

The plates make for a nice tool tray I imagine. I'm constantly dropping stuff into the gaping hole between the rad support and the header panel. Its huge on a Lincoln.

Yep, great tool spot. It would work great on a lincoln, that gap is like a black hole!

Very nice. That rearend looks really clean. How many miles on the donor?

Forgot to check how many miles on the donor, i'm guessing i should re-build it anyways though. Exactly what is involved in that?

that looks great, i thought about doing somthing in my engine compartment like you did with that diamond plate, but never got around to it, and you just inspired me to redo my tail lights, so that might be one of my projects on the weekend,

yea, I like that Diamond plating!

[Grand Marquis GT]

The diamond plate is a good idea, and helps with cooling too, i'm sure!

Looks great, mang!
