Ya know, if you hadn't parked your Crown Vic next to the truck, I never would have realized how much it's nose mimics a New Edge. Hmmm.
Or the other way around??

That's gonna be great. Are you doing anything up front?
That’ll be next. I am currently running the Eibach Pro -Plus system but want to research what will best complement the rear MM set up. Seems a few of the MM rear components work ok with the Eibach system, but thus far I’m not overly impressed.

Your best bet is to install your goodies, and then email MM. They will figure out what spring/spring rate will work best for your current/future setup. They are always a big help and they dont seem to mind either.

It’s not even the fact that it feels lazy, it just has strange shift behavior and can slam into certain gears. Apparently these are common problems with the 10a.
I’m trying not to mod it lol but if I did I’d go all out.

They’ve always reminded me of a four door mustang lol.
That’s what I called mine! I do miss it at times.

They do have that Ford designers signature for sure! I noticed even more similarities once I started comparing. They have a sleekness to them.
Had some awesome times and good memories in a friends LTD Crown Vic station wagon, I've always liked Crown Vics.
Except there was one I didn't like the back seat of...but that's another story.

I had a 95 vic aero style. Light weight car at 3600lbs for being a framed chassis car. The automatic took a dump so i converted it to a t45 5speed manual. Lots of fun.

I love the panther cars, they’re comfortable and rugged as hell. My old 09 was an ex marked car with over 205k miles on it before I sold it to a buddy. And this one has 136k miles on it. Change the oil on time and you won’t have to put any money into it.
And my 87 Grand Marquis, that thing is a tank. I once spun out in the rain and run up on a curb. It stalled out so I thought great it’s broken. I put it in park and it started right up so I pulled it off the median then drove it to work lol. It had a slightly bent rim and that’s it. I don’t even know how many miles are on it but it doesn’t smoke, make noise or burn anything. It’s just a well built car.
I used to have an 85 LTD as well. It was a solid car but needed a lot of bodywork due to rust. It’s a shame really because the car ran great and the frame was in good shape.

My grandma had a green 74 Ford LTD 4 dr that was huge. She drove it across the country for vacation for years before basically giving it to my uncle Everet. He used it for a few years and then it kinda 'disappeared'.
My grandma was FURIOUS when she found out he reinforced it, welded railroad rail inside the doors and turned it into a DEMOLITION DERBY car. She wouldn't speak to him for a spell.
To his credit, and a testament to that '74 Sherman, out of a slew of swinging dingdongs he was still amongst the last half dozen still banging away....

I’d probably cry if something were to happen to it. People literally throw these cars away just because they’re old. I saw one in a junkyard a few years ago that was garage kept. We found receipts in it from the owner for oil changes and transmission rebuild (aod…). If I were to put tires on it and refill all the fluids it would’ve driven out of there that day. I think it was an old couples car and when they passed the kids junked it. What a shame. At least sell it to someone who needs a car instead of throwing it out.

Pistons rings pins all came in 
Adapter to use with my hand bleeder to remove air trapped in my stupid PS system.
@white95 are you making any other changes to the rear suspension compared to your PHB setup or are you using the same springs & sway bar, etc.? Did Cortex make any recommendations on that front?

Black lug nuts to match the new wheels. Took 3 days to locate them! Geez, Louise…..
Not sure which I like better: the all blacked-out (left) or the little bit of chrome hint lug nuts (right)?
Opinions???…
