thanks once again scandal.. its all factory as per above post.. the only things removed from the truck were numbers in rear windows passangers doors and drivers names off bottom.. and the dodge on the front fenders.. other then that.. its 100% factory.. I got a smoken deal on the truck.. or should I say my husband did... but I love it lol even with the rust.. I sold of a 94 grand marquis HPIM0225.jpgthat was my baby after I got this last week and it was emaculate for the yr... aslo bought that one used... I just like them to look good...


HEHE... Me bad.. I think im going to call around and get the bars blasted then re sprayed.. see what I can do with the red.. I guess if all else fails and I repsray them red.. and it dont match.. I guess then they are ready for a scratch and shoot....

 

yeah, shops are good at paint matching anymore...it used to be that a person had to paint the whole car to get a good match...a few years ago i had a camaro that was rearended and was all worried about the paint matching, but it turned out perfect and you couldnt even tell it was hit.

id say just go to a good reputable shop and dont be the slightest bit satisfied until it is perfect in your eyes.

that marquis looks great by the way. i have always thought it would be fun to take an old copcar crown vic and make it hot...all black with dark windows, grill, and wheels...but that is another subject lol

 

Thanks.. I babyed that car.. it was my first ever car of my own.. in my name.. I got mad one day and went out and bought it.. hubby come home it was sitting in the drive way.. cause he blew up my crown vic.. that was in his name.. LMAO..

but as for the crown vic.. we have a old cop car.. 92.. that is fairly clean as well.. the one he blew up.. and we put a *cough* 360 in it... few more things to finish up.. but that motor was in our 76 dodge half ton.. only had 60thousand ks on it...when the hubby was in accident so we kept the motor.. and thats what it rests in now.. LOL...

 

but the car pic was to show ya.. I like to take care of my rides... we have 3 kids so we need something bigger, and all 3 in car seats for a bit... my kids are 7, 5 and 3... So I need something with full seats...

 

glad to see you take care of your cars...i cringe when i see the kind of people that dont touch a car til something breaks and i shouldnt care since its not even my car lol...

an old high school buddy got a dodge cop car from a police auction for only $750 and made it look like a real cop car with the push bars in front, antennas, and all the other cop stuff...he had a 440 in his, huge 2 inch cop sway bars too! it was very cool

 

I bet.. im in northern ontario and we are just going back to dodges 4 cop cars

 

go with the balck bars it would be a good accent. But hell i would never get rid of that truck. Nice ride
