No a town car body will not fit stock... The center section of a town car is longer than a vic.

If u have the choice between a 74 impala bumper and a 76 impala bumper. Definitely use the 74 and use the monte bumper before the 76 impala as well.

That thing looks like a beast nice car Thanks. I should have ran it again after that show but I ended up scrapping it. I didn't realize how stupid I was for doing that until a couple weeks after.

How strong are the actual crush boxes themselves? Have they ever twisted on any of you before bending behind them,Infront of them,spring pocket area, in front of spring pocket area. This without dp or anything else just a stock type car.
Got my body off the car right now first time doing this.We are allowed to weld firewall forward is why I ask.

Thanks for the useful info. Sounds like I'm gonna have to beef up the crush boxes. Now my next question.The main straight frame rail both sides have a hole that goes straight through top to bottom near the rear-end. Is this the same on all cars of this frame design or is this some sort of rear crush zone?I think I want to patch the hole up but if the techs want to know why its not there I want to have an answer for them.Example if an 80 car didn't have it I'll tell them its an 80.But don't know if it will fly with the double skin front end. And gusset CB.But my car is a bit weird I's like only half the front end is double skin.It's a late 89 car.Theres less holes in the frame than newer 91 frame or so also.It is also a police package car.Have the frames you guys dealt with been consistant? I think what I'm getting at is strengthen one spot and will bend elsewhere.I wonder if those 03+ bend back by that rear hole with the super strong nose on them.I don't know how much force travels from the front of a car to the rear.Or if I shouldn't worry about it.Saw one bend there once but I think that was from a rearend shot.Thanks.
