Ran this '94 Lincoln this past weekend in a stock class. Was tucked and notched, pretty happy with how it turned out.

Would I be better off tucking the trunk on an 85 grand marquis or leaving it how it is? We're aloud to weld bumpers solid and just wondering what would be best for the trunk. Thanks

OK after running all full weld shows I have decided to try running a wire class. I'm running an 85 merc. No welding, only 4 straps of wire per side on the trunk. No window bars. The very rear body bolts can have all thread run through to hold down trunk lid. Speaker deck must be left in. This is a totally different way of thinking that I am used to, any opinions or info? Thanks

On a 1996 Crown Vic, If I can't run hump plates... Should I tuck the trunk (and notch frame rails) or "V" the trunk (also with notches in framerails).
Thanks

With out hump plates I'd hammer or square the arches either way. If you can weld the trunk I'd V it if you can't weld the trunk id tuck it. Just my opinion.

I see a lot of builds with the trunk pan being pushed up into the trunk. I have an 87 Vic. I haven't pushed the trunk pan up yet. How crucial is it? Does it make a difference if it's pushed up? My trunk is tucked and all seems are welded.

My trunk is tucked and all seems are welded. Pushing the trunk floor up into the body adds strength between the framerails and also helps keep the sheet metal up out of the ground when the trunk bends up

Thanks Demo502! Looks like I have some jacking to do unless there's any easier way! Is a jack the way to do it since the body is already bolted down and the drive train already installed? Any suggestions?

A floor jack is what we used. Unless you happen to have a forklift. But we jacked up the middle of the floor, with just the jack. Then we used a jackstand, to drop the car on it, for the edges.
