Thanks for the link. Would you happen to have a shot of how/where you mounted the rear attachment of the k member? You have a pick of the bracket and matching cut out flange but nothing of the actual mounting on the frame. Thanks again for the link, looking forward to the progress.

Just going to have it satin cleared.

Rear Mount on lower control arm tacked in place.



New fuel pump



Pump installed in stock tank. Also used fuel line from the crown vic. Worked great.



Getting the frame rails boxed

Testing front sheet metal fitment. Wheels set perfect. IMO



The 04 front is 67" wm to wm and the 00 rear I think was 62" wm to wm and the offset on the wheels was perfect.
