    My CV was all black with no police lights on it. Send us some pictures when your done, I'm curious to see how the wheels look on it.

    Did you do anything to the nose??

    I didn't choose the easiest Crown Vic to start with as it was two tone black and white with light on top and doors. Filing the holes and repainting is giving me lot of problems, parts being so small to sand and paint. Hope i'll find a way. About the nose, I'll just paint the grille black for now as i have my hands full at this little project ...!<o:p></o:p>

    I changed my mind about the engine and cannibalized the Mustang III to get the 4 valves heads and Eaton blower. After some dremeling, here is a pic of the new aluminum block and supercharger. At least, it won't be Crown Vic under the hood. The view from bottom of the frame show the nice front to back wheel size difference as in our car. The side view of the bottom part show the mag wheel pattern: not ideal but better than the 16" with hubcap it had before.

    Black 04,

    The mini project is done. Below some pics. The backspacing of the MustangIII wheels is different and they are sticking out more on the Crown Vic frame for a not expected meanier look. Great. I dremeled off some other parts in the engine bay to fit the 4 valves heads and Eaton blower.

    The paint is not 100% as i had quality problems with tiny dust particles in the air even with extra cleaning. I had to spray 4 coats of black to cover this and the holes in the roof and doors and the white painted body panels. Sanded each of them with 500 grit paper (probably the cause of the particles). I cooked them in the oven for faster turnaround times at 150F as i wanted to finish this before the end of the week end. The painting was real pain as i had to cover front, rear and the 2 back door window with masking tape outside and inside. Luckily no fume found its way in the glass.The front grille originally chromed had been painted black to cover the CrownVic look a bit.

    Now, all i have to do is wrap the thing off in gift paper for next Christmas. My son should be happy with the results !

    Snowbird,
    Looks real good, you did a real nice job painting the doors and the light holes. To bad you couldn't find the all black CV it... would have saved you alot of time.
    One thing you need to do, you need to paint the cornering lights. I used a chrome marker pen and some black paint to look like my MM.

    Great job

    Chrome marker pin is a good idea...I've been puzzling over how to handle side lights and the grill...
    I'm trying to attach some pics, but haven't got the hang of it yet...
    Let me see if I can make this work...
    I've cut and installed the fog lights, console with floor shifter, gauges below radio...oh yea, mine has the flint interior too...

    I'm trying to create a OEM rear spoiler on my model. My MM has the rear spoiler and I'm tring to make it close as possible. I'll post pictures once I figure this out.

    I put the mustang cobra 4v engine in mine with the chrome wheels and the mustane chrome tailpipes. it looks good but the engine is not that good for detail. I am using the cobra spoiler to make the MM one but have to cut it down yet. Not bad but I would still like to see a company make a correct one.

    Motor Max (the people who make the CV model) were having some car model suggestions not too long ago, you could send a email to them voicing you concerns, that and you can try AutoArt, but they haven't done anything to their CV's in a long time (a real long time)

    My Marauder Model

    Ok....if this works I have attached four photos of my Marauder Model...
    It started as a die cast black Service (police) vehicle...
    I have added the flint interior with floor shift, console, and gauges...
    If you look real close you can see that the radio is set on FM 95.3...
    Mustang wheels with disc brakes...
    Fog lights...
    Megs...
    I'm still working on ideas for the grill, rear spoiler and adding the Mustang engine without the super charger...
    I hope these pics aren't fuzzy...if they are I'll try again...

    I contacted "advantoy" (he lists die cast crown vic all black service vehicles, like I used, on ebay...)
    to see if he has any and if he is going to be listing any soon...
    If I hear back from him I will let you know...
