To do:

Hydro E

Mini spool

BCL Universal Atmosphere Demolisher

The entire lower grille area of an 06-11 Grand Marquis riveted onto my existing aerobody bumper

Figure out a permanent exhaust solution that isn't a side dump

Cut front fenders, apply overfenders, and get extremely low offset wheels.

Buy helmet

Buy drift spares

Shred.

I would like to make the following suggestions:a custom license plate that says "Walter" or "Edith" or "Grammy". And a mannequin for the passenger seat dressed like an old woman. Also, a stuffed animal dog for the back window.

Box of tissues and a dead wasp on the rear parcel shelf.

It appears you can still get these. Keep it fresh, yo!

Why not a traklok instead of mini spooling your daily? Much easier on axles and wheel bearings and with a proper rebuild it allows for all the sideways tire smoke you could ask for.

I came to post that. A mini spool is hard on parts on pavement. Is there an air locker for that axle.

Its an 8.8, you can buy the stock clutch type posi, air or electric lockers. Alot of options better for a DD then a mini spool.

Cable locker as well.

I'd either put a locker in it or a stock type trac-lok packed for more locking force. Don't run a spool in something you drive on the street. It's hard on tires, hard on parts and if you ever put sticky tires on the back, it won't turn worth a E36 M3.

When my father had the welded rear in his Monte Carlo he put one of these towing hubs on so my mother would still drive it. It sucked in the snow and eventually she talked him into a more street friendly car to haul us around.

GRMer buys Crown Vic for cheap. Proceeds to make clean it up, decides to lower said Crown Vic while adding steel wheels and painting blackwalls to mimic RWL tires. GRMer aspires to turn Crown Vic into a drift car, because why not? GRMer satisfies his horrible taste in fonts (Algerian, really?) by creating what I can only assume is a vinyl sticker to apply to newly-crowned vic drift car.

I think... and I may be wrong, but I think G-Body is going to take the real nice clean Crown Vic (hence the crown images) daily driver he bought and ruin it.. err I mean turn it into a drift car.

I'll probably go trac-lok, but I'm not sure yet. The 2.73s allow me to use all of 2nd gear. The Crown Vic was destined to be a drift car, I've just finally decided to stop making excuses. Panthers are a dime a dozen, I might as well enjoy it.

Some people are seriously passionate about fonts. I imagine our enthusiasm for cars baffles many of them them equally as much.

Ditch the 2.73s for at least 3.73s and youll think your in a super car. Trust me, gears and a $200 new from ford trac loc are the first mods you should do. Oh and the j mod.
