Is this thing bagged yet Rick?

 

[Bigrick31 10+ year member]

so update is its at my buddy Seths shop "Twisted Minis" getting bagged. Pics should come in the next week or so. What Seth is going to do is install a Jaguar IRS and bag the car it should be laying body when done. Probably wont be the rocker but bumpers should lay on the ground. My other friend is going to build a fuel cell for the car. we are taking the hump in the rear of the car and knocking it down a bit to allow room for speakers later and also making a flip up lid in the rear so the suspension can be seen. (we are doing something different with an engine driven compressor it has been done before but its not common and usually not done correctly but that will be reviled when its installed)

Doing a Cobra 32v swap is no harder than a Lightning swap since the 32v was ava. in this chassis. The v10 is the swap tha can be a pain in the ***

on my frame all of those swaps are a pin i have recently learned. had my car been an 03 or newer crown vic the cobra motor would bolt right in. not saying it isnt possible just the cost isnt worth the performance i think ill just build 4.6 police motor instead.
