Lots of clearance....Not really though. Its about 6 inches at the cross member. My charger is about 4-1/2". So I am used to low cars.

This has been consuming my time and money lately. Eventually, it will get a v8, a crown vic swap, an auto and some better wheels and tires. Probably a rear disc conversion also.

The money shot. This is how it sits. The fenders havent been aligned, and the door is off. The hood is just sitting in place, but you get the picture.

The wheel tuck is great, to me. It does interfere with the inner fender skirt. With a different wheel backspacing that would go away. Im not sure what Ill do about it. Not a problem right now.

This is with the first coat of the "magnet paint". Its a POR15 type of paint used by DOTs. It sticks like crazy, and stinks like crazy.

All welded up. We also boxed in the cross member, and braced it. I smoothed all of this and we painted it.

A little hard to see, but this view shows the clearance between the mounts and the steering. Motor will be in the same place.

Driver side. Its closer than the passenger side by about 1/16" to an 1/8". The entire cross member is offset by almost 1/8". We missed a little. Some of the factory suspension was almost 3/4" off.

The bottom looks good. That upper gap is shameful. We cut it off, and it will get replaced. If thats the only part I destroy, Im doing good.
