Ltd Uni project , 62 short..on a 87 crown vic (Ltd)

I am not sure that number will work for you..I positioned my motor back and down,

I had the body about two inches lower than now..

After I repositioned the motor ..it is no where close to stock position I built my own motor mounts, and welded it up..so you can't find the same mount configuration I have off of another truck...


I had to put on a rear sump pan from a van if I recall correctly.....And I think you see the firewall changes I made..they are more extreme than needed now, since raising the body...It makes for good access though.

I did go out and measure but forgot to post it here, top of valve cover to top off cowl 9 inchs exactly...

[fire truck]

Well, I picked up a full frame from a hearse, town car with 136inWB, I'm just wondering if I can stuff the big engine I want to in it....

[foodstick]

Got a little work done....

and some more, years ago I had sand blasted the INSIDES of the doors(crazy I know) then I had osphoed them ....one door I changed from a normal door to a uni door because I couldn't seem to find another good uni door. ANYHOW, since most water that gets inside the doors euns down the inside of the outer panel..I wanted them sealed up better, and the seam of where I changed the door line needed sealed as well so here is what I got done while the frogs were singing outside the garage ...
Oh, I used a rust inhibitor I had on the shelf from Eastwood...

[foodstick]

Oh yeah. more painted parts on the table

Looks great me old mate stick!, certainly has come a long way since I sat in it!

[slickmainer]

nice touch on the heater cover

[foodstick]

The funny thing was the heater cover was so beaten, I figure if i bailed on the project it would be no loss, then when it started looking so nice I was like "Dang ! wish I had used a decent heater box cover !"

[foodstick]

a few more... not the greatest pics






chugging along, lost parts SLOWLY being found....

[Kid]

Dang Lance ... you are going to have it driving soon

[foodstick]

thanks Kid, Bill, stopped by tonight and I had forgotten he didn't even know I had started putting the dash back in.. he almost did a back flip

[Greg D]

Looks great Lance!
Heard lots of stories about how good that rides and corners like a Mustang.
Looking forward to a ride in it.

[foodstick]

Well it may not live up to the LEGEND but it does drive well at least they tell me so.. my memory barely goes BACK THAT FAR !

a few more pics, been LIVING in the garage.









i hope the parts in the garage are HALF as straight as these pics make them look
3567

[foodstick]

This pic says it all !
Paint,sanding tools, thinner,putty,squeegees

[foodstick]

And the results .... Parts are closer.. and lets HOPE ..straighter !









thank goodness I had worked on these a LOT before I burn't out.. because they are coming along well. I do think my technique has improved, I seem to be getting the bad spots quicker.. with less do overs! always a good sign

it is amazing how perfect they look in the pictures, when I KNOW there are still some areas that need work.

[SixtySix Ford]

[62galxe]

That tailgates not straight enough. To save you from worry just stick it on my truck.
