    Mercury wheels

    I'm over here in Kuwait bored and I noticed a 90's Mercury Grand Marquis with 16 stock alloy wheels. It had 225/60/16 tires on it. From my limited Web research The hub bore is larger. My question is will these work on a Fifth Ave? The tire size can be changed as needed for clearance. It's a big...

    Fender mounted turn signals

    Has anyone put the fender mounted turn signals like the F bodies have on a Fifth Avenue? I'm thinking just splice into the turn signal wire. I will have to try and round up a decent set from my friends salvage yard. The main reason is because chicks dig them. It will be done on my beater Fifth...

    The new Fifth Ave. front end

    I should be wrapping up the front end on the Fifth today. What a pain. One washer was welded on the end of the pivot bar. I bent the control arm trying to get the pivot bar out. I quick call to my buddy and he says he has 2 of them. I drive 30 miles to his salvage yard and searched for an hour...

    New wheels for the Mighty Aspen

    I just picked up 5 - 14" Turbine wheels w/so so tires for 150.00. That's only 30 bucks a wheel. I wish they were 15's but I still have 14's on the mighty Aspen with stock hub caps. The tires on them are 205's so my 195's should fit. The best part is that they are right on the way I have to...

    BBD rebuild

    My Aspen wouldn't start when I got home from the desert. I noticed the accelerator pump not working so I had to drive 30 miles to grab the carb kit. Needless to say the cup had rolled in the carb. I'm probably thinking this was due our nice corn fuel. I got it done and it is running like a...
