In terms of the doors front fenders tailgate and hood - does anyone know what ford models and years are interchangeable?

Maybe my post is overly broad but I am sure someone will correct me on that.

I have an ‘85 Ford LTD Crown Victoria and the seats are fading a bit but otherwise in good shape. The quotes I’m getting from the local upholstery shops near me are more than the value of the car for just one seat. I see plenty of reupholstery kits for trucks and sports cars as well as seat covers but nothing for my wagon so far. So far in fact the only option I’ve...

Is it possible for this thick bumper to bend?

So this car looks super clean from the outside but I knew of a horror that was lurking!

This car had a homemade patch installed on the bottom of the DS rear quarter where the plastic storage compartment tub is, and it felt soft, when I pulled it apart, I could see the garage floor!

Thankfully, the quarter itself looks to be fine, just the bottom piece needs to be fully cleaned and welded back together, I know that no one makes any patch panel pieces for this car so, I'm just...

I bought her from a friend who picked her up a few years back out of California. Body looked good, although the paint job isn't the best. Floors were rock solid with no thin spots. I got her as a roller, but she came with a brand new machined 327 V8 in pieces (not original, but correct date codes), some new interior pieces waiting to be installed, a horribly painted blue dash, and a whole bunch...

I’ve long since wanted to paint an Oldsmobile logo and rocket symbol on mine. Nothing fancy, just white similar to this factory one by Buick.
