Good clearance for the alternator and the exhaust is good now, had to make a little room on the passenger side for the exhaust but that was only because we had boxed the frame. Funny thing is, after doing the mustang I haven't even thought anything was tight on this .

Lol I hear that. That engine bay is huge. You should have plenty of room in there.

Did the front end kit come with plans? I'm basically wondering because I've seen the install many times in different ways with trucks but no driving results after. The angle's I've seen people put them in at vary and I'd surely expect that would mess with the alignment and driving characteristics. 321 has done well with the rear setup as I've seen that in a few trucks. I just got rid of two IRS's from MkVIII's after deciding not to go that route but whish I would have kept one at least. Did you have to put the truck at ride stance and adjust the front end for angles or did they do that based on your wants for the stance?

The truck looks great and I love the motive. I'm working with my 11 year old now to build something for him and he's pumped. It's good to get them off the games and in the fields and garage. Kudo's to you.

Thanks for the kind words, guys.

The kit is just for being able to bolt in the Crown Vic front. Altering the stance would come from different spindles or springs. Measure twice, cut once.

A lot of parts have arrived. Hoping to make a lot of headway this week. Deadline is Christmas.

Love the project, I will be very interested in what the rear wheel fitment can be, how wide a tire will fit with the IRS?

This truck is taking shape! I can't wait to see it running and driving!

[Crestronwizard]

Test fitting the bed. These wheels aren't the ones we're running.





Boxed out the firewall. Give us some more room for the A/C unit.

[DrFraZZy]

I love the color on it already. What are your plans with paint? I hope ur leaving it patina?? It already looks cool the way it is! I know with the right wheels.. You will be breaking necks! LOL

[brawls43]

^^ I agree with DrFaZZy, would look great with the patina! Plenty of room out back for some big wheels/tires. I love how that engine fits.

[Tincup]

Nice Job...where did you get that tank?

[Crestronwizard]

Got the tank off Summit

Plans are currently to paint it but I have considered leaving it alone as(big surprise) have ran over budget.

[brawls43]

Can always paint it later.

[Crestronwizard]

Firewall is coming along
