These little things hold up, the back end will fold nicely with a few dimples and get a decent bumper for the front, I ran an 87 caprice bumper on mine and it was my best friend. The axles are thin so they may snap and even pop out, tie rods may snap so keep em away from the front tires. I also recommend unbolting the fuse box and moving it up to where your battery once sat believe it or not these cars can be little tanks with some good work

How do u bypass the cluster so the alternator will charge? I followed the back of the cluster for the wiring but can't remember how to bypass it. I seen a buddy do it a few years ago on a Taurus but can't remember how he did it

How can I either bypass the fill bottle for the coolant and put in an inline filler? The bottom hose has that goofy style with the small hose to jug. Or should I just extend that hose and move the jug somewhere else

Anyone ever try welding the struts up on one of these? I'm currently contemplating welding it up a few inches to raise my front a bit higher and stiffen this front suspension up a bit.

Pull the rubber boot from the center and put a piece of pipe in it!

The plug that i had on my fuel pump came off on top of the pump. Checked my terminals and everything before time but didn't think to spin and look at that. But buddy saw it after the heat and plugged it in and I drove it straight to the trailer. But learned my lesson on that, tape and zip ties is going to soon follow this comment..lol..
