I have wondered if that nose would go on a Fairmont for decades. It seemed like it should work but I've never seen it done. We had a Zephyr (Mercury version of Fairmont) when I was 16 and I partially learned to drive in it. I always wanted soup that badboy up but it only had 200 six. What a piece of crap that was, 200 cubes and less than a 100 HP. The intake manifold was cast into the head and the exhaust manifold was right there to heat up the incoming air. Who thought that was a good idea? OK, yes I know they thought warming the air would result in better atomization of the A/F mix but still. Total crap.

Oh yeah, I remember the entire gov. was driving Fairmonts in E.T.

 

Opinions.... Do you guys like the F150 or Expy insert better on the 97/98? I kind of like the black one that's in the truck already.... but I dunno.

Even looks better with the saturated lighting and setup in the first pic as opposed to the better image quality of the second one.

That expedition even has giant blingy earrings. Just too much bling.

 

 

We're having a heat wave.

 

I woke up to single digits and six inches of snow this morning, and tomorrow's forecast high is 61°.

 

A tropical heat wave?

 

LOL, feels like it.

I'll tell you what, I'd be flat out lying if I said this doesn't scare me:



As much as I want the warmth and sunshine, this is all too reminiscent of 1983.

 

I got the grille insert removed, then did a little Dolphin Glaze on some spots, sanded, and primed it. I'll paint it tomorrow, and start tearing into removing the old stuffs.
