how to wedge the truck "u" or "v" on a crown vic porject "burn barrel"

out of shape but swinging the slug hammer will help me get bak into shape lol, "u"ed the truck cant take it right down to the floors but this will be enough to make sure it bends up. i made sure to keep pressure on the threaded rod as i was doing this to make sure it all came down evenly and tight

Advise for the trunk if it’s aluminum? What do you think

[@zacksworkshop171]

swap it if u can but i would not run the alum in a mod show but stock sure

[@onetonf350]

@@zacksworkshop171. I’ m here at the fairgrounds now with only 1 day to go so I’m using the aluminum trunk. I do have it pushed down with all thread pretty happy with how it looks but I can tell it has no real effect on impact. Maybe just help hold things together.

[@zacksworkshop171]

i would just push it down a bit but its not going to go great

[@HERRON13]

Can this step be done after your rear panels are crimped already think this will be the way I run mine this year

[@zacksworkshop171]

ya for sure buddy

[@zacksworkshop171]

Yes zacks workshop on Facebook

[@zacksworkshop171]

Its been ran 4 times now it came up a bit but over all never really moved

[@JorgeVonVogler]

Do u need to weld the lid to do this ??

[@zacksworkshop171]

Destruction Production yes with out the welded trunk it will want to pull away from the quarter panels the threaded rod helps as well to keep the pressure

[@roundback5502]

Use a log chain tie to the seat bar to the bumper use a floor back a lot quicker and faster

[@zacksworkshop171]

ya i think that would go super faster this was my first car and it turned out no too mad

[@lifteddmaxlly]

what rear are ya using?

[@zacksworkshop171]

Jeff Hock right now it's stovk 8.8 but I am in the works of getting my old 9inch rear end back with full spool and 4.56 gears in it

[@lifteddmaxlly]

+zacks workshop dose the stock rear ya have now the watts lime set up? I just put my 9 in under my buddy's 87 merc

[@zacksworkshop171]

Jeff Hock no the 9 inch does not but I am going to order a kit to install the links into the 9 inch and I will probably use a pan hard instead of the watts link , or if I can come up with a easy way to install the watts I may just keep it

[@lifteddmaxlly]

+zacks workshop right on. I'm building a 99 merc right now. digging the vids man. keep up the good work. ima run a 10 bolt gm in my car.

[@derbyfreak8183]

great video Zack. I made another video if u want to check it out. looks like burn barrel is coming along nicely. can't wait to see it all done.

[@zacksworkshop171]

DerbyFreak818 I will check it out and that you started on the front suspension yesterday trying to get rid of all the alum

[@derbyfreak8183]

zacks workshop thanks. and I'm still deciding wut to do with the front end. how do the motor mounts do in your opion? some people say the break easy but do u think if I chain down the motor it will help them enough?

[@JorgeVonVogler]

[@zacksworkshop171]

Destruction Production I have done big and small car I like small better less work cheaper to buy and I find them funner to drive

[@JorgeVonVogler]

zacks workshop prolly better for a first timer

[@zacksworkshop171]

Destruction Production really the best car you get is the cheapest car you can get for your first one

[@UncleCam]

what exactly is the purpose of the trunk "U"?

[@derbyfreak8183]

Uncle Cam from what I've seen it makes it a bit stronger and it helps keep the trunk lid from blocking your view.

[@UncleCam]

DerbyFreak818 aha.

[@zacksworkshop171]

Uncle Cam trunk lid stays out of vision , the dish down word also allows the side to come in instead of pushing out , see how the roof was tweaked up as well witch makes the roof go up out of the way of vision as well The tighter you get the steel the better it backs in and stays solid
