Crown Victoria/ Mercury Grand Marquis HEADER PANEL Bolt Locations and Cobra crown Victoria Cloning ( My Thoughts ) I did this video for my Big Bro cause he needed to know the bolt locations ( and I wanted to know also ) it really isnt bad. The few bolts o the fender has to be taken out so you can spread the fender to slide back in the Header Panel on your Crown Vic or Mercury Grand Marquis
Excellent vid
Just helping out a bro thats all man.. How is your ride running
@@bstfordchannel923 i don't have a crown vic anymore, have had 2 in the past. Its funny though, I have the 3/4 ton twin to your blue Ford pickup,same color, lol
There are so many things I would like to do to mine, but for the money, I used the K.I.S.S. method (Keep it simple stupid). I wanted the Marauder look without spending a fortune. I got 2 damaged grills, Grand Marquis and police interceptor, free from the junk yard. I cut the center out of both and made the Mercury center fit the Ford grill shell. For the seats, I used 98 Town Car seats and a 2005 Mountaineer center console. I replaced the ticket light with the map light out of an old Nissan Sentra. It isn't exactly Marauder interior, but it has a sporty feel. I painted the mismatched parts with Rust-oleum Oil Rubbed Bronze and it was a really close match to my charcoal interior. All in all, I only have about $2500 invested. That is including body, paint, interior, wheels/tires, brakes, transmission rebuild, water pump, intake manifold, exhaust work, pinion seal, and probably some more stuff I can't think of. You and Mr Random have been a great resource for me to learn about these cars. I appreciate you more than you know.
Thank you for staying down with the Panther car. Also want to say this to. You got the core reason why I do this and Mr Random. Its all about having fun on a Budget its about being creative like you mentioned.. Some may not approve but how can you push the culture further with out this type of ( build ) 2k aint real money and 10k isnt real money ( by the world standards ) so you just have to cap you build and a certain price point.. Just have fun bro the car sound cool Jason
Man, you got a ton a stuff done for that amount a money. You be the man with connections
I watch mr random as well but I must say you are the go to for Vic stuff. You keep it real instead of living in a high dollar fantasy land.
I going to side with comment
The ticket builds there cool when I was younger,but now I am not moved by it as much
Glad that you see the whole gist of the channel.. I want people to know you do not need a HUGE budget to Build Suhmthing . People get tide up into the the dollar amount hype that we loose focus on what the BUILDER really wanted... we tend to chase somebody else build vs making our own
Excellent video. And l use the same jack handle to keep my hood up!
sorry for the late reply lol Yeah man the old trusty jack handle
Keep up the good work
thank you Talal for this just need to start on this car .. Just waiting on some parts now brother
This just helped me in big way! I just picked up a 08 crown ex police needs header panel driver headlight and grill. Hardest parts to find in this side of Oklahoma
glad i can help ya THESE parts are hard but you can buy the header panels here amzn.to/3sNS2w9 that ok price to. then you can get this amzn.to/2On4aVU your in it 200 buck around... I have to do the same WildBill stop by anytime and chat bro!
Glad you still doin it homie, appreciate your content like BAM ✌ BAM ❤
thank you rklos Just keeping at cause of the weather but now its very cold so . I felt i did a little something while it lasted.. thank you so much on the support bro!
Awesome video !!
thank you BRO! when you have time check this out czcams.com/video/SxIVFtJ1S5A/video.html
8 bolts and the radiator hoses and the whole front clip was off my Chevelle (yeah - I was in a Chevy).
Everything from the doors forward was off the car.
This stuff is a nightmare.
Peace little brother!!
Nothing wrong with the Chevelle there where so many of them out back then . The vic is almost like that ( kinda ) All those cars back then worked like that where the whole front clip came out as one
@@bstfordchannel923
We had it so much easier back then.
Working alone I could have engine & trans out and on the ground in an hour.
We didn't know we were spoiled!
Spring is almost here so as soon I get my 04' LX back from piant, and I'm pissed; the car has been just sitting for over 6 weeks and the body hasn't touched! But I'm riding Carlos' arse to get in the paint booth! Then the 2010 P71 gets the Grand Marques face lift :) I got your grill hanging on the wall as a reminder to BST!
well its like sometimes he can rush the car and get it out but he wants it to look great 9 i am guying ) or he may not make that much money of it so it sits UNTIL . its strange game and thats what i hate about sending stuff out... Like my intake manifold nephew had it for about 2 months now . Now i am looking to find another intake manifold and do it myself sucks but thats the game Big Bro ( we have to wait )
Bro man are those wheel well bolts/nuts standard or just because metric works? And majic hand sure likes his job! That car at the end, well that is his way of expre$$$$ion You be the artist man, a true artist that does all this for the love of wrenchin and buildin. Ain't no show off bags with you PERIOD. Love the vid man
Glad you get this video Shazam.. I want people to do as they want but to be original is the way to go.. less stress and more freedom to express you passion in way that some will get but MOST will not.. Great comment Shazam!
Great video! You got mad skillz wrenching while holding the camera dead on. Always learn a lot watching.
I really need a tripod lmao.. I have been doing this way for so long brother Mike lol.. How is you car coming along . I had to turn down that 4.6 build i see another youtuber is taking that route so I have to think of something else cool
@@bstfordchannel923 Doing good. Hoping to finish up the fuel system this weekend.
I want to change my mgm header to a crown vic so bad! Just don't have the time for sanding and painting the new doghouse for it. It will be hard to find a decent vic front clip the same color and in great condition like mine.
that is a HARD find I want to do the same thing but painting will be needed as i check on thing Panther Platform Guy... You have to wait it out u can find one
I was wondering how the heck mr random gonna do the roush clone properly with no shop.
that is a issue, its tough so i gave him some key points that he may look over.. cloning is easy to make something that looks like it kinda ( thats to the person that viewing it ) I am glad i am off that cloning deal Canadian M its too much money .
I think of it like art. Your art is in a different medium than a restorer, cloner or super mod. It leans towards rat-rod but it's not because the rat-rodder will stick some expensive hp parts on there. Your medium is the same as the artist that only uses junk that people discarded, thinking it had no more use. These artist are some of the most respected artist of today.
Oh I am WAY in the ratrod realm but with function. I would say secretly but you guy seem the vibes.. I did clean cars before and it was a pain to wash and wax and keep it right, but this is more my lane ( my happy place ) but i like function. I do look at it ass art even with the rust and destressed paint i try to get it perfect for me... It isnt quite there yet but L-Twig you understand the vibes bro.. Even with the Maverick i took the same approach ... You see what i am doing in detail bro
Favorite phrase of the day:
"Secret sauce"
😂
Love this video. I'm with you BST. Cloning something is a little too much of a brain bleed for me. I want a little creative originality in my stuff and a clone chokes that. But I understand when your channel is based on a certain platform, you have to cater to people. That's sort of the chokehold that sticking with one platform brings. There starts beings certain expectations that are unrealistic. Which is why I like that you love Panther cars but you show other great stuff too. Doesn't constrain your content.
you and I talk so we love other cars and car styles When you and I chat I do listen bro. So for a person that creates content its a hard juggle passion and what creates views ( I stop with the view part a min ago ) and I keep it honest , but its a hit am miss cause MOST people want to be dazzled. Others like yourself just keep it real ( and stay in my lane ) . people follow the trends i watch other channels and go against that ( with in budget if possible ) Just want to display you can flip the same chassis but never make the same car
@@bstfordchannel923 Very true. It is an aggravating thing deciding which CZcams lane you want to walk or run in. Lot of juggling indeed.
I have a grand marquis ill be trying to sell soon. Id love to keep it to throw a ebay turbo kit on lol
I would do it lmao it take some time though to get right. what year is your ride bro?
@@bstfordchannel923 2001 Grand Marquis that im selling. 2010 Ford Edge is my new daily, and the toys are a 74.5 MGB and a 12 Boss 302
Right on BST,
I hope I never have to remove a header panel, but know I know.
-Chuck
it does suck Chuck, but you hve clean rides no need for this right here for ya
This looked like you're trying to strip it apart. I don't know how this would work on mine, as my Crown Vic is a classic 1989.
now that one will be VERY different .. i have to get one of those 1 day
My cousin hit a brand new mercedes and got my p71 wrecked out i been wanted to do the front end swap but the wreck forced me to first time i ever drove and had to pull over every 5 mins because of the radiator and that other thang made it overheat but i took a grand marquis front and thew it on my vic looks clunky and lazy but overall paint probably make it look sexy it didmt fit so i think i had to drill new holes or maybe only just for the lights but it was stressful and fun i thought it Wasnt gonna work but it did
that the cool thing o working on your cars vs a shop.. You will learn something very very soon lol.. This was the 1st time me doing this so I am very new in this department of the vic game. So you have to stay down with you car and make it right... sometimes just go outside and just look at the car and see what can be done and just do it
@@bstfordchannel923 mr random told me exactly what to do i was watching him i forgot how i found you 😂😂 but i had help im young i wanted to give up shit sometimes i did i went in the house but it came together eventually people kept telling me to sell it and get another told em no
BST Bro! Thanks for the How to Video on removing the header panel 😎 After I get that fixed on the 05' then my plans are to turn my 2010 P71 to look like a Merc... But thinking about putting 5.8 built Windsor with a 5 speed and beefing up the rearend to handle the power! Still want to keep bucket seats and add a center console... only badging will be the Merc grill and a SVO badge on the right rear.
the 8.8 can handle a 5.8 no issues cause of the 31 spline axles thats in it.. I may do the 302 i am not sure yet Big Bro., the Svo badge would be a cool touch lol.. I know who has the brackets for the windsors so that should be a simple. as i am typing I am thinking about the 302 more
@@bstfordchannel923 You know Bro, 302 Boss... would be, mmm, Boss!
i really enjoy these videos bro, i got a new project coming up for the 2007 police interceptor, i think you might like.
ahhh man I have to see that ride there! I thank you so much for the support bro in this way BIG BRO!... I may make me a big rim ride if I find the right rims thats going to be the key part
Good video will definitely need it if i decide to do some bodywork myself. I agree on clones, if its going to be done it shouldnt be half assed. Im more of a function over form type of dude.
i with you on this Big Ron function and form is the right route.. Clones just aint for me unless i can do it all the way through. I feel you just fronting like wearing a sweat Nike suit and you have a pair off Adidas Kicks on with a Puma hat
Do your own thing. No clones. Build a car others want to copy from you..
I second this comment
I third this comment
I fourth.
Well I 5th this comment
I will not do clones brother Van cause I seen the light.. many cases you chasing somebody dream not yours . So this I totally agree with with money spent i can do my own person cool ride vs a clone
do you need to remove bumper cover to get header panel out
no really but its best to do so . You need room to see and such it isnt bad...
So do you think the tires would spin a lot more if I had that 5-speed in it the one you advised that can hook up to the aluminum driveshaft I know I have a lot more control of you know how much torque is literally being applied to the wheels between the clutch on the transmission and all I find that automatic spins spends the tires way up on necessarily especially in the rain
All this chat GPT crap and speech-to-text still and Google still can't get it right
Its really about rpm and tire size and gearing... The 4.6 2v ( do not have the step on the gas power ) it has good tq but not enought to roast the tires ( without power breaking ) now a 5 speead will help and gearing and then a tune... I plan to try something
what are those front seats in your crown v
At least there aren't any f*cking torx bits!
You can say that again
indeed lmao i really hate seeing those just pop up when you are tearing down something
hey there .. went in the ditch this morning lol , a 1999 header panel will not bolt on my 2006 grand merquis correct ?? the junk yard near by only has a 1999 merc header panel ....
the header panels are cheap on Ebay also... Check there dude.. Good luck bro sorry for the delay
@@bstfordchannel923 thanks. Nice have car guy respond
where can i get fender at a good price
anywhere NEW on Ebay, but the issue is installing it... It aint nice bro i will tell ya that one
@@bstfordchannel923why it's hard for a fender fix ?
For me, I don’t like clones. A lot of the “clones” I’ve seen were merely badge and body panel swaps. If it were me, I like the sleeper look so swap the stuff you really can’t see (drivetrain and suspension) but keep everything else stock.
very true statement Travi. the sleeper look is cool, but the issue with sleepers are the sound .. It should have a rumble but needs to be fast.. I wish i can balance that out on anothe build , but YOU are correct on this statement I can not disagree bro on what you written
I agree. For a lot of people it is about looking like they can afford more than they really can. Hence the idea of kit cars. People taking VW's and making "Porsches" out of them or people taking 300zx's and making "Lamborghinis" out of them. It's more sad than it is cool to me.
@@harrison4ever125 I remember those! My dad had a “Ferrari” when I was 6.
@@thetravi1348 😂👍🏻
@@harrison4ever125 very true lmao i liked them at one point but it seems to me that we are all copying ( which is cool ) to those that enjoy like movie cars.. I have a cool idea on some stuff that people would dig but it has to be for me 1st and I have to make sure it come out cool for less money
What what engines in it?
So I was driving today and heard a loud bang when I was stopping. Car started pulling hard to the left. Turns out it’s my lower control arm. The bolt that holds the arm to the bracket that bolts to the car snapped and now the whole wheel rolls back about 3” when I stop. Gonna be a fun day tomorrow. It sucks that I gotta take the rack and pinion off along with a bunch more crap to fix it. Anyone know what else they would change on while a guy was doing all this anyways?
Sorry to hear about that THAT is a 1st i hear of that and it will not be the last.. You can change upper arm if you like.. You have to take out rack and pinion to do the job?
@@bstfordchannel923 yeah. The control arm bolt won’t come out because the rack is right in the way. I pulled the bolt that snapped out of the grommet and it was basically just being held together by a tiny vein of metal in the middle about 1mm thick. Glad I wasn’t on the freeway when it happened.
@@thetravi1348 very very true Travi . that bolt that has a tab on it right? that thing stuck? ahh man heat and some PB Blaster and and something to drive it out... i am trying to picture it , but it hard to
@@bstfordchannel923 oh by the way I liked the cherry bombs I put on my girls Vic so much I ordered another pair for my other Vic, but I’m putting these on just after my cats endin in a dump. I’m thinking about taking off the H pipe but need to research how that affects the scavenging. Well, I’ve got 7 days till they arrive to figure it out. I’ll probably do upper control arms as well. I swore I was going to beef up the sus before any kind of performance mods.
This was a cool video man. So i love the marauder and clones are cool but getting a crown vic to its peak has a different impact , i think.
YES I see where you are going with this comment Robert 100% .. I agree
@@bstfordchannel923 cool man , whatever you decide , your work will make it worth it.
Crashed my Vic yesterday the push bar took most of the hit just broke side marker and cracked my bumper a lot of junkyards in Newark NJ would it be cheaper to buy parts at junkyard or ordering online
Aye do you have a maruader bumper laying around you wanna sell ?
i wish i did i would sell it to you
What's your email again bud? I'd like to chitchat with you about you getting me an engine harness out of a 5.0 Explorer if ya interested. No big rush, just next time you're out in a pick n pull yard if I don't get to make the 75 mile drive first.
If a see something i will say something... I am looking to get a whole explorer to do this engine swap again in something else... So I will call on ya when i find it or when i have it in my hand BC!
@@bstfordchannel923 Thanks a ton man, I may make the drive to the PNP this weekend, I've been stalling for weeks, cold and kinda busy.
Yoooo I have a 2011 P7B I'm thinking of selling, this Texas winter did me in I had water in the coolant and after the freeze I had water in the oil ! She has flowmaster super 10 exhaust, all 4 shocks done , brakes done ,new battery, new alternator, all 8 ingintion coils ( ford racing coils), she's a pretty bad ass care before the storm did me in , she's tough as nails , of anyone seriously interested lemme know we can exchange numbers and I can provide photos and more info , I have a clear clean texas title on hand !!! If I don't get her sold I'm damn well gonna get another motor in her , just could rather use the money right now with family and all, I'm sure you guys could understand that !!
I love and value your knowledge of the Panther platform. Check it out: I am so freaking happy. I just bought a 2011 Crown Vic P71 with only 112,000 miles for just $2,450. It has a little (mostly surface) rust and a few minor scrapes. I wish that I could attach a photo. It runs, handles, and stops like new. A little body work, manual exhaust cutouts, and a tune and I will be good to go! I plan on keeping my excellent running 178,000 mile 04 for (Minnesota) winter driving.
het Big T whats up! Congrats on the new ride bro! man you got newer type .. I have to step up a bit bro... Thank you for checking and comment THIS means a lot bro... It really do... I know little on Panthers i am learning just like you
Save the whales!
yeah man i have to save the wheels
