is everyone running a stock rear bumper on these? Leave it on, throw it in the scrap, use it as a ski for a giant car-part robot, any of these options will probably yield similar results.

I didn't plan on using the back but I didn't know if there was a good way to everything together back there

Here are some of the tips I saved off the original website before the plug was pulled, I have not used any of them as I have not built a suicide, I just saved them and figured I would share. Everything I post is something that came up more than once, from more than one person, which is the criteria I used for saving it: For everyone thats has Q's on steering linkage,rotors etc. You can take the whole front steering linkage to include rotors,spindles, brake lines, brake booster etc off a 71-77 linc cont and it will interchange and bolt right up to the 61-69 Linc. You need to make a few adjustments on your steering box. But this will give you power brakes and lower your steering linkage. A arms will bolt right up. Replace bolts with better grade. I just replaced everything from a 74 linc to a 66. As far as the rear end, Use chevy s10 springs or shorter springs in the back, Then notch the back from about 6 inches from perches and this will fold up real nice. Now I have let the cat out of the bag. Short stack rear to get it to roll well. Short stack means a stack like on a trailer, melt lead out of body seams to get another area to weld, thick door plates on the bottom help keep the body from bending Lower the steering gear on the it as well, a couple inches or so, bumper should get welded straight to the frame, or even better, long brackets should be used on the front to help compensate for the bubble in the front frame. Rear backets of 70s gms are the way to go spindles off of a 70s ltd are good, centerlink can also be bent down for clearance, crossmember will need to be notched for steering clearance Most commonly used bumpers are pointies, 74 impalas, or some Chryslers, flat bumpers are good to have front suspension is junk, especially spindles and ball joints, thicker floors always good too

just curious i haven't seen it mentioned but how well do you guys think a suicide would do if ya set them up like a crown vic for the back sitting low and the front high? i've thought about trying this but don't know how it would turn out so i figured i would ask for opinions first. thanks.
