Removing the rivets from the coil buckets is a real treat, many cuss words were muttered!

Just a few Sawzall blades gave their life to cut this cross member out.

Mocked up the new front suspension, lowering the rear suspension will be a must.

It's been awhile since I posted any updates, but the winter weather has slowed my progress. So I thought I'd catch everybody up on my project.



Here the Crown Vic suspension is located and the mounting bolts installed.



A little frame clean up is in order, with the angle grinder and a cup brush.<br/>



The rear suspension mount all welded up, almost ready for some por-15.



All cleaned up with a nice coat of por-15



Suspension all installed.

Now that the chassis is all good, time to start on the body. A trip to the sand blaster will get it all started.



Looks like I have at least one cab corner to replace and of course the drivers floor pan.



Marked out my first cut.



Well that was no fun at all.



All welded up.







Aft part of the bed cut and clamped together, ready for some welding.



Starting to look like a truck.

Big ol'dent in the tail gate to take care of, but the roll pan should look pretty good.



Filling all the bolt holes a stake pockets.



Installing a in bed fuel filler.





Turned out pretty good for an amateur.

Looking good! You have any pics of your cab corner repair? And what did you do for a gas cap?

Haven't got around to the cab yet, but it's on the agenda. The gas door assembly is from Hagan you can see it here 90 Series Round Flat Fuel Door.
