hahahah i dont make allot of money but i am saving allot to put into this car and no i dont detail my car every day but "Happy are all those who dream dreams and are ready to pay the price to make them come true." Leon Joseph Cardinal Suenens.

Also now that i have moment as you all know the grand marquis only has a fuel and speedo on the dash and im the kind of guy that loves gauges is it hard to install a tach i know it has some thing to do with the alternator and the oil pressure, engine temp, and voltage i want to get those installed also, and every since i've had the car the check engine light has been on and the last owner told me its been on for a while but the car runs fine so i dont know what could be wrong with it??? any help would be greatly appreciated

its either has a vacum leak or if its drinking alot of gas than it probally needs a new o2 sensor the only other thing it could be is your spark plugs are miss firing or corroded take it to a shop that does a free check engine light diagnostic service and they will tell you

well... you all wanted to know what it would look like finished... here ya go. the marble is like ghost painted since it is visible from certain angles but other angles it disappears and looks like a darker stripe.

hey i was wondering if those taillights on that red crown vic could fit the other crown vics by jst changing out the tail lights piece

edit: im not just talking about the tail light glass but the whole tail light assembly with a little of the body part that bolts inside of the trink. also would you be willing to paint my car black if i get everything and come up there where you at if so how much will you charge
