I totally agree-this is the cheapest way to end up with basically a full custom frame under your F100. You end up with IFS, 4 wheel disk brakes, power steering, fuel injection on a mod motor, modern 4 speed trans, 8.8 rear end with infinite gear possibilities, 4 link rear end, huge amount of wheel options on the 5x114.3 pattern and a really nice fully boxed frame. I love it and am so happy I went this route!foodstick wrote:Its great to see you enjoying it... I am amazed how well the full Crown Vic chassis works and drives.. Especially when it can be done so cheaply ....
Got a few things done yesterday. Plugged the rest of the holes in the firewall so it is air and water tight first, the moved on to installing the carpet. It fits alright-only real issue is that on the transmission hump there is a bunch of extra carpet in an oddball box shape. At first I thought they had screwed something up but it was really just where some of the SRS/airbag stuff went. Oh well, Ill need to build a console to go there anyways...
I love the seats in her and the carpet is great too. It is all just roughed in right now clearly-I need to go back and trim the step areas, trim around the back of the cab and secure it to the floor in a number of spots.
Spent today making my doors rattle free...
The first door took me a couple hours but the second one was way easier knowing what I needed to remove and what went where.
Just waiting on my paperwork to come back so I can get her tagged and rolling this week!
