I’ve been a member for a year and I guess it’s time talk about my build. I bought the vehicle just over two years ago from a very nice older woman in Kent Washington and here’s some pics of it the day I picked it up😁 |
I started the build almost a year ago and I’m going with 2009 crown vic front ifs, 2015 Mustang gt coyote engine, 2007 Mustang gt500 tr6060 trans, 2015 Mustang gt irs, 2016 Mustang gt350r brakes and a whole lot of fabrication lol. |
Looking forward to watching your build G-Force. I really like the fridge body style...

Well I started with fitting the engine to the CV subframe. |
|
|
Then I removed the powertrain and suspension to mock up the coyote and crown vic parts.https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...bb47674bc.jpeghttps://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...735c4b665.jpeg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...64f99c906.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...7ef318ae6.jpeg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...1f5967b4a.jpeg |
Once I decided on positioning I started to modify the bottom of the frame so the cv suspension would sit flat on the bottom. Where the frame comes up for front axle clearance isn’t long enough for the subframe so I cut the fram in the front and the rear of the clearance area. I forgot to take pics of the front though lol sorry and the pics aren’t the greatest but oh well. I also moved the centre line back an 1”1/4 |
You may have to look closely to see the changes |

Hope you like🤞🏻 |
Looks like a great project, Keep Going!
