yah??? if i remember right, to me it looked like you could cut the mouting brakets for the rear off a donor car pretty clean. Id take your welder friend to the junkyard with you and see if he's up to it :banana:Pete ::::>>> resident LED addict and CFI defector LED bulb replacements

any close up pics of the wheels/tires? I wanna to see how that tire size looks.
The easy #1 sway bar upgrade is to go for a 1" police rear bar from a junkyard. They are golden.
The front wheels are turned almost as far as they will go... i didn't have anyone to hold the wheel the last quarter turn. Never had a rubbing problem though, probably related to the offset of the Exploder rims.
Was that what you were looking for fitment wise?'06 Ford Crown Victoria LX

I just wanted to see how the height compares to the width... I was thinking about 245 or 255 60 or 65 size tires... I would run something like that if I came across some wider 15" wheels. Id prefer some 16" explorer or lincoln wheels thoughPete ::::>>> resident LED addict and CFI defector LED bulb replacements

Nice car! I had the same wheels on my 87 sedan. I polished them and they look great. The centercaps are like 20 bucks from ford each..

Nice!
I didn't post in your exhaust thread because I don't know much about the year to year differences of whale-bodies, but it seems guys have been having fair success in salvaging junkyard exhaust systems for the newer cars because they're actually made of a low grade of stainless - apparently they still get ugly, but don't rust through like aluminized does. You probably already knew that, though.2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!
