[johnunit]

wow. nice. very, very nice.

[merc91]

haha they dont know. its 2000 bucks a year insurance but im getting it apraised in a few weeks just incase she burns up or whatever as of right now i get $450 after the deductable for it since thats the bluebook on it lol.

had an astrostart security system put in er with remote power locks and trunk and remote start of course lol. just got back from michigan picking up my new driveshaft and shes a big sucker haha and some 90/10 front shocks and another set of rear springs to cut down to get the geometry right for the strip. got them red air bags that go in the springs to so i can put more pressure in the passenger side to plant that tire when the car wants to twist up... so i got my weekend ahead of me ha thanks for the comments guys ill post some more pics of under the car and stuff like refinishing the 3 dash buttons in the wood trim saying defrost, nitrous, and OD Delete ha so she all looks stock.

see yas, andy

Sic as Fawk! need you to bring that down here and beat up some of my mustang friends LOL.. the Non turbo cars atleast Haha.. and BTW Welcome back

[marquisman]

awsome progress mang! did you go direct to lentech for the trans? or did you go through a dealer? also, sellin any extra parts? lol

[merc91]

haha chicago eh... i wanna get out to a big merc get together pretty bad.

yeh went right through mr. lentech himself and had it all tailored to what i wanted and they did a good job. the next on the list is a 1000hp + rear end so ill have a full 1000hp able drivetrain by winter and start building a twin turbo 351 with all the bells and whistles but thats good year away still.. get the good out of this motor in the meantime haha

JESUS!... and i thought i had money in MY car for being a younger guy... props on keeping a panther alive though!. HOPEFULLY, one day my merc will look that clean.

PM me about those sequentials, i cant figure out a circuit for mine.

[sly]

mmm... cutouts... and looks to be electric style too. Great for embarrassing ricers with fart cans at the lights.

looking forward to seeing what this ends up doing. Hopefully you don't twist the frame with all the torque.

What catalytic converters are those that'll handle 1000hp? The Shelby 1000 had two versions, one with manifolds and cats putting out about 800 to the wheels and 920 at the crank but that's with modern factory cats with are uber expensive.

I have a sequential tail kit with wiring I cut out of my '91 that got totaled sitting at my mechanic after I had brand new KYB GR2 Gas A Justs on it. Never got to drive that car with the shocks. Should've had my mechanic pull them.

[Grand Marquis GT]

Sick!!!

[marquis_82_withneons]

you still have access to that kit potatoes?

[merc91]

the cutouts handle whatever hp and empty cats with straight pipe through them flow quite nice once I do that motor in a few years realistically... Those large surface area HIFLOW cats flow alllot of air, they dont cut down on emissions as well ofcourse as an oem unit but going green isnt the plan with this car. I cant remember but wiring the sequencial lights was really easy following the instructions with the kit that I cant remember.

[merc91]

New shocks with double eyelet mounts and welded in mounts to bolt them in under the car


addco swaybar welded up with bracing since I bent those plates


rear end pulled and ready to cut down with moser 9" ends welded on and tubes welded and acid dipped


tapping and planning/cutting templates in the basement with the IV bag tricklin away


steel plates clamped on and ready to be brazed


post braze 12hr cool down


the plates all brazed up solid
