Thanks cdsbigsby. Car is rust free completely. The derby it's going in is pretty much do anything you want. Any suggestions as to what I should do to it? A good strong front bumper? Crease and notch rear?

I would crease if you can, not sure if it'll need a notch. But if you can do whatever you want, go crazy. I wasn't allowed to run all thread down through the frame or anything on mine, if you can, I would. All I did on mine was put a dent on the underside of the spare tire well and it went straight in.
Yeah, good bumper up front. They have heavy frame rails so they're already strong up front. I used one from a 87 Lincoln Town Car.

cdsbigsby yeah that what I thought that bumper was off of. I planned on pretty much going crazy and making the nose be strong as possible. Would running a small bumper on the back make it plow? On my Corsica I ran a back bumper and it plowed, but on my cousins accord he ran a bumper and it still packed straight in.

Not sure on that one. I was told remove the back bumper on my '98 or it'll plow, but my '98 and your '94 are completely different.

Seem welded t bird. Best 20$ I've ever spent. Not even loaded. Think I'll go back for the rear, looks just as tough just no point. Always had good luck with welded t bird bumpers! Even on Crown Vics. Go buy the rear if you could, just as good as the front one!

Pics of my cars from Hanover ks Wife got surprised with her first car, thanks to Mr C4 and son. Took 9th Lost cv and a tire, plenty life left. Mr C4 finished off my mont while taking 6th. And I junked a fresh A body, on a dead car. Ended up around 10th or so. C4

Mr C4 finished off my mont while taking 6th. So how do you think what you did worked? The pillars didn't blow up and it looks like it stopped bending right in that area before bending forward of it

The pillars didn't blow up and it looks like it stopped bending right in that area before bending forward of it Entire back end just kept going up. At a loss as to how to fix it. Going to try something a lil different on the next fox sedan, mainly different trunk Lid placement and delete the speaker deck.

Here's my after pictures of Hanover. My u joint snapped is what took me out. Drivers side is still completely straight. This side has been shitty since it's first derby when the body and "frame" got separated. I'll straighten it back out and run it in the end of November.
