    My Long Term Project

    a few. I'll see if I can dig them up. We're actually going to tackle another chop shortly. A very mild chop top on my father's 47 Ford.

    My Long Term Project

    already purchased Falken S/TZ-01 Look to be a nice tire, the side wall is a little busy for my liking though.

    My Long Term Project

    they generally don't come 17X10 in the rear. usually only 9.5 ( I think they are made this way for Mustang clearances.Tires are 285/60-17 in the rear and 235/55-17 in the front.

    My Long Term Project

    Sorry for the late response. There is a company in the calafornia (the name escapes me right now) that said they'll do my side glass for me. I just do a cardboard cut out of the shape I want and have to do some measurements and they'll make my side windows. As for progress, no there won't be...

    Anybody have a billet grille?

    not yet. Going to order the LMC one with the fine bars when I get a chance to do an LMC order. I'm ordering with caution as I know their stuff can tend to be crap. If their grille turns out to be crap I'll most likely use it as a template and fab my own. As you can see in my avatar my truck is...

    Anybody have a billet grille?

    I'm personally a fan of the billet grilles and I know LMC makes two different styles and Strut also makes a completely different style. These grilles are not for everyone that is for sure, but if it's your style build your truck your way and check out those companies.

    1992 Ford Explorer 4-Wheel Drive Clunking

    My boss has a 1992 4 wheel drive Ford Explorer and she's been complaining that it's been clunking while going up steep hills and acelerating. The noise is not there in 2 wheel drive so I'm assuming that the problem is in the transfer case or the front driveshaft. I haven't heard the "clunking"...

    My Long Term Project

    Small update on this project. While they are not everyones cup of tea I always wanted this truck to have suicide doors, it's how I always pictured it. So I have placed an order with SuicideDoors.com for hinges and door poppers. The next purchase I make will be the 4-link rear suspension from...

    Lowering the old ford?

    Anything can fit if you're willing to work at it. Nothing is going to slip on like it was made to be there. that's the joy of Custom work. While you may be able to buy a kit that comes damn close. I know Fatman Fab have an mustang II front end on their shop truck. they are a great kit and...

    Lowering the old ford?

    It all depends on what you're planning on spending. I put a 72 LTD II front end on mine, i've heard of a lot of people swaping newer crown victoria front ends onto the older fords. You can buy a nice kit from Fat man fabrications, or mulitple other companies. You can also buy a bikini clip I...
