DO (2010-2011) LINCOLN TOWN CAR AND CROWN VICTORIA SHARE THE SAME FRONT SUSPENSION?

CongoChango says:

As a veteran mechanic I can’t fathom doing framework and not just sandblasting the entire chassis and have a clean slate to work with as inexpensive it is. Makes no sense just makes more professional job and clean to do accurate fabrication.

Erik Nelson says:

Informative content on a somewhat bare frame is excellent. The backbone of most projects. Thank you sir, just the 30 minutes refreshes knowledgable builders and your crafty homebrew guy like me.

John says:

That would be the last front end I would choose. Those truks ride so good stock and their tough and simple

Peter. Hatch says:

Do like that you use the ford tubes x4 and bolts and nuts

Ayden Mendoza says:

Great Shop Setup!!!

Mark Woten says:

What was the thickness of the metal plate you welded onto the inside rail? 1/8”.

Kelly Hahn says:

Garbage in a '53-'56, it's way too wide, looks like crap no matter what a person does. No idea why anyone does it, there's so many better options that keep them looking correct.

Laron Whitener says:

Do you have a kit for a 94

Erik Blake says:

Looking to restore a 56 f100 but I dont want the drops most guys are looking for i want more of drop where top of tire lines up with the fender well. So CV front end I read drops frame by say 4 inches. Is there a way to install where you dont get that big of a drop, Thanks for your response

Augustus Appling says:

hey man did you fabricate the control arm brackets or purchase them somewhere? thanks a lot for all the details.

thelostdogboy says:

Change playback speed to 1.5. Much more enjoyable

Mark Mccarty says:

I'd like to the swap on my 94F150 flareside! God a wire welder an over 30 years of experience! But it would be nice to not have to work it out myself! It was given to me by my father prior to his passing!

kathycornish1 says:

John Doe says:

What does this conversion cost. As far as labor and boxes.

hali pino says:

Thanks for sharing your talents. Great welds.

dime4ever101 says:

Could you weld nuts on the top of the lower control arm plate too to make it easier?

Curt Hall says:

Isn't the Crown Vic front end fairly wide, making for Limited Wheel Choice?

M Cheeke says:

What is the mod for the rear to match the front suspension drop
