1+1=1

After thinking it over and talking with a few friends and family I have come to a conclusion. I'm gonna take my rust filled 88 TCR and my suspensionless, rustless undercarriage, straightbody 85 Darkthunder and combine them into one. The only problem is getting the rust bucket down to Alabama. Where the garage is bigger and the tools are plentiful. :D

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Makes sense to me.

Oh yeah, when its fully parted out, sell the TC's front swaybar to a Lincoln Mark VII owner.  They pay good money for them.

What size swaybars do the Mark Vii's have? I thought they had the same swaybars?

I don't remember offhand, I'm bad with remembering numbers like that.  All I remember is that a 87-88 TC front bar and an Addco rear really helps the big Lincs corner.  Do a search on LoL, don't ask the supermod. :)
