Thank you for your service!

Thanks!

I subbed after the Honest Peyton SS live with you. Great to see the vets in the shop and the videos. Love Fords, always have. That IRS looks sweet in the back of that old trick. Love to see simple kits that allow the average guy with average skills to be able to install up-to-date components on old cars and trucks like this. Look forward to seeing the front end come together. Be safe and stay well.

Honest Petyon SS is one of our favorites! Thanks for the kind words and the sub!!!

Great looking build. I'm considering the S550 IRS in my 62 Unibody. Is there any ride height adjustability when using the Grange Industry brackets? Looking forward to seeing the bed on it to see the ride height of Project Murica!

[@KenTarr-oi9uj]

Just did Range Ind. brackets today on 1963 F100 frame. Nice brackets but bottom flange of front brackets hung 1/8 inch below bottom of frame. Had to slot existing holes on frame for old shock mounts to allow tightening bracket flush with bottom of frame. Upper old shock mount hole on frame did not line up at all with bracket and had to be drilled. Subscribed to your channel and looking forward to more episodes of your build.

[@greezyzgurage]

I had to drill out one hole just a little bigger on one side but man this was a time saver ! Thanks for the sub!

[@greezyzgurage]

Awesome Video! Im about to start my 66 F100 build and was contemplating weather or not to install the crown vic front clip. Ive heard that there are some clearance issues with the turning radius. Also is the Mustang rear end SS550 the same width as the CV front clip. Can you please tell me if its worth doing the CV front and what will be the cons of it. Love your channel!!

[@greezyzgurage]

Understand when I started on this truck, the Crown Vic was already installed. If I was going to build a truck again, I would do one of two things I would install the Crown Vic and use the 1 inch shorter arms from OutKast auto works or I would put a Mustang two front style under it, I do not have an issue with turning radius, especially if you put the S550 rack and pinion on it.

[@greezyzgurage]

The only con of the crown Vic swap if you leave the stock, a arms is wheel selection. Unless you do a custom wheel, you are very limited on what you can do without a lot of fabrication work.

[@67fairlane12]

@@greezyzgurage are you referring to the bolt on Lower control arms from outcast ??

[@greezyzgurage]

@@67fairlane12 I have no experience with the shorter control arm kits for the CV but there are several options for this and if I were to do another CV swap, I would be looking into these. Fatman, Team321 and several other offer them. I thought Outcast did but I don't see them on their website.

[@davidlewis-dp2fh]

I’d just like to add on the wheel selection PP1 or PP2 mustang rims should work awesome and you can also change the wheel studs in your Crown Victoria front end to match your rear mustang with a drill and 10 new 14 mm studs
